Dominion Theology / Post Millennialism
What do Dominion Theology / post-millennialism believers think about the anti-Christ and the Great Tribulation?
Q. What do Dominion Theology / post-millennialism believers think about the anti-Christ and the Great Tribulation?
A. Taken literally the term post-millennial means after the millennium. This view holds that the Millennium took place in heaven during the first 1000 years of the Church Age and is now over. Advocates of Dominion Theology / Post-Millennialism can have different views of end-times prophecy.
Postmillenial Preterists believe that most of the book of Revelation was fulfilled by the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 A.D., and that many of the prophecies in the New Testament point to that time. They contend that Nero was the anti-Christ and the Great Tribulation resulted in the fall of Jerusalem. (Some believe that all prophecy including those referring to the 2nd Coming has been fulfilled.)
Postmillenial Historicists believe that the Book of Revelation prophesies the history of the Church from the Apostolic Era to the future Second Advent of Jesus Christ.
Postmillenial Idealists believe that the strange individuals and creatures and events of Revelation
symbolize types of people or institutions throughout church history, and represent the ongoing struggle between good and evil.
All seem to agree that what is left is for the Church to conquer the world for the Lord so that He can come back and take us into eternity.
