What is Postmillennialism?

What is Postmillennialism?

• A. Jesus would return before 1000 years
• B. Jesus would return after 1000 years
• C. Jesus returns before creation
• D. Jesus will never return

Answer: (B)

Postmillennialism teaches that society will experience a long era of gospel-driven transformation, moral progress, and peace before Christ returns. The millennium is a future period in which the gospel progressively leads the world toward righteousness, and only after this era does Jesus come again to judge and establish the eternal state. So the idea that Jesus returns after that thousand-year or long millennium is exactly what postmillennialism holds. It differs from the view that Jesus returns before the millennium (premillennialism), and it doesn’t align with none- or never-return scenarios often considered outside mainstream Christian eschatology.
