A Definition and Defense of Postmillennialism

Postmillennialism— AKA “A victorious eschatology” 

1 - History is intricately governed by God, and all that God intends to accomplish, He will, in fact, accomplish. (Genesis 3:15; Job 42:2; Psalm 115:3; Proverbs 16:33; Isaiah 45:7-9; Jeremiah 32:17; Lamentations 3:37-39; Matthew 10:29-31; Acts 4:27-28; Romans 8:28; Ephesians 1:4, 11; Colossians 1:16-17) 

2 - Jesus was who He said He was, and brought what He said He brought; namely, He is the Messiah who brought the Kingdom of God on earth as it is in heaven. (Matthew 6:10; 16:16; Mark 1:15) 

3 - Jesus did not obfuscate or equivocate when He told His followers to disciple all nations & peoples, assuming its success and utter completion. (Matthew 28:18-20; Mark 13:10; Romans 10:16-18; 16:25-26; Colossians 1:5-6, 23; Revelation 7:9) 

4 - Jesus ascended to the throne of heaven as David’s Son and David’s Lord in order for God the Father to make Christ’s enemies a footstool for His feet. (2 Samuel 7; 1 Chronicles 17; Psalm 2; 72:8; 110:1; Daniel 7:13-14; Luke 1:33; 24:50-53; Acts 1:6-11) 

5 - Jesus will not cease reigning until all enemies are defeated in history, the last enemy—death—will be supplanted at the final resurrection and final judgment. (1 Corinthians 15:24-28; Revelation 11:15, 17; 22:5)
