Optimistic Amillennialism | Sam Waldron | The Weekly Discourse

By “optimistic Amillennialism” I mean to defend the idea that the future prospects of the church are bright. That is to say, I will defend the idea that there is every reason to expect Christ’s true church to grow and prosper throughout this age. This optimistic Amillennialism is to be contrasted with Postmillennialism because it does not extend this optimism to the world at large. It does not foresee a golden age of peace, prosperity, and righteousness for the world before Jesus returns. Optimistic Amillennialism expects—not a golden age for the world, but—a global growth for the church.
