The second obvious objection to postmillennial expectation is much more serious. Does the New Testament promise Christians that God will Christianize the nations and that glorious things lie ahead for God’s people in this present age? The answer to this question is no.[31] If postmillennialists are correct, you would expect Jesus to tell his church something like this: “Things will be rough in the beginning. But hang in there! All nations will come to faith in me, and there will be such cultural, economic, and political improvements that you wouldn’t believe me even if I told you.”
