God. Welcome to the

the plodcast my name is Douglas Wilson this is episode 165 165

good to have you with us so what are we going to talk about this time? Well, what I want to talk about

this time is something I noticed years ago back in the 80s when I started reading

reconstructionists. And here were the two things I noticed

that I thought were in somewhat, in a position of some tension.

The reconstructionist that I was reading back then North and Rastuni and these guys, they were all post-moleennial.

They all had an eschatology that looked at the future with optimism and historical optimism. Every Christian,

pre-Mille, on-mill, post-mill, every Christian is optimistic if you're allowed

to include heaven, if you're allowed to include is past the last judgment and into heaven, then of course every Christian is optimistic.

So when I say optimistic eschatology, I'm talking about historical optimism.

So post-Moleennialists are those who believe that the Great Commission will be successfully fulfilled,

that the nations will be brought to Christ, that they will be baptized, and that they will be taught

obedience to everything that Jesus taught.

So this means that we believe, we post-Mills believe that the world is going to be Christianized.

The world is going to be saved. God did not send his son to the world
