In this in-depth discussion, we dive into the complex and often divisive topic of eschatology – the study of end times and the events surrounding the return of Christ. We explore the key differences between premillennialism and postmillennialism, two prominent views on how the millennium (the 1000-year reign of Christ) relates to His second coming. While unpacking the nuances of each perspective, we also highlight the importance of maintaining a unifying biblical foundation and tone, regardless of one's specific beliefs. Drawing from Scripture and Church history, we examine the implications of these views on how we live out the Great Commission and approach cultural engagement. Throughout the conversation, we grapple with the tension between actively working towards societal transformation and humbly awaiting Christ's return, emphasizing the need to embrace both the conquering power of the Gospel and the way of the Cross. Join us as we navigate this intricate subject with wisdom, humility, and a deep commitment to love God and love our neighbors. 0:00 - Intro 2:54 - What is the “millennium”? 7:05 - What is “premillennialism”? 10:50 - What is “postmillennialism”? 18:51 - “Pre-tribulation” rapture and “post-tribulation” rapture 23:13 - How eschatology affects everything we do 29:12 - What is “amillennialism”? 30:39 - The Great Commission unifies 33:58 - Revival generates persecution, persecution generates revival 41:59 - A comprehensive eschatology 45:50 - Will tribulation usher in the end times? 51:50 - Winning in the way of Jesus 59:03 - What does success look like?
