the differences between amillennialism and the more moderate form of postmillennialism can be difficult to pin down. As I noted earlier, many postmillennial writers often describe this matter as a debate between “optimistic” postmillenarians and “pessimistic” amillenarians,[29] while amillennial writers often locate the difference of opinion in the postmillennial confusion of the already (the present blessings of the kingdom of God) and the not yet (the eternal blessings of the consummation).[30] Most contemporary Reformed postmillennialists are of the more moderate variety.
