When Shall These Things Be?Steve Gregg
Steve Gregg discusses the future of the Church, presenting both optimistic and pessimistic views regarding the end times. He clarifies the post-millennialist perspective, stating that they aim for the Church to politically and even militarily conquer the world, while the millennialism system itself does not make specific predictions about the Church. Gregg argues that God has great plans for the Church to grow into a mature and glorious body of Christ, with huge conversions among Jews happening before the Second Coming. He draws from the Old and New Testaments to support his claims while emphasizing the importance of repentance and faith in Christians' spiritual growth.
