SUMMARY:In this conversation, Kendall Lankford interviews Martin Selbrede about post-millennialism. Selbrede explains that post-millennialism is the belief that the curse of sin will be reversed in time and history, and that the work of the Messiah is to lead justice to victory in this world. He emphasizes the importance of applying the whole Word of God and not soft-pedaling any part of it. Selbrede argues against pre-millennialism, stating that it puts too much stock in the power of the flesh and fails to recognize the omnipotence of the Holy Spirit. He also highlights the inconsistencies in the pre-millennial view of the Millennium ending with a catastrophic war, which contradicts the biblical promise of perpetual peace.
