Tuesday May 30, 2023
In this episode, two Amillennialists, Zac and Brandon, ask critical questions of Postmillennialism. Will the world become Christianized into an earthly "golden era" before Jesus returns, or will the church continue to be a pilgrim church, walking through the wilderness, experiencing persecution and martyrdom, and awaiting triumph in the New Heavens and New Earth? These matters and more are discussed in this episode.
