Hello,
Okay, firstly, I'm pretty much an Amillennialist. But I'm not a set-in-stone one, it's just that postmillennialism always seems to become... weird.
For example, dominionism and reconstructionism etc. all seem to come from the postmillennial camp. What I see from those camps of thinking is just plain weirdness.
Amillennialism hasn't produced much weirdness, so it appeals to me. But postmillennialism also appeals to me because I'd LOVE to know that some big revival is on its way.
My question is: is there a postmillennialism alternative that doesn't degrade into weirdness? Is there a sort-of inbetween amillennialism and postmillennialism, like a positive amillennialism?
Yes, scripture first. It wouldn't be right to accept a particular view just because I liked it. Which is partly why I'm hoping some of the answers will show why postmillenialism is more scripturally sound. But I do want to say that whenever something isn't scripturally sound it tends to become weird... which is why I'm struggling to really go down the postmillennial route.
Lastly, for goodness sake, does "millennial" have two n's or one? It looks strange every time I write it!
