Chapter Four: Postmillennialism (19): The Reformed (Amillennial) Critique of Postmillennialism (5)

David Engelsma critiques postmillennialism from a Reformed amillennial perspective, arguing that postmillennialists misinterpret Old Testament messianic prophecies by imposing a physical and earthly fulfillment rather than recognizing their spiritual and heavenly realization in Christ. He demonstrates that postmillennialism's optimistic vision of a future golden age contradicts the New Testament's teaching on apostasy and tribulation before Christ's return, and exposes the inconsistency in postmillennial exegetical methodology.
