Postmillennialism teaches Christians will create a Golden Age on earth, gradually defeating the forces of evil. They believe they can help established a beautiful peaceful world, and then Jesus Christ will return and establish His eternal kingdom.
Some who believe this call themselves Reconstructionists and label it Dominion Theology. Some of them accept certain ideas within Preterism, believing that many of the prophecies of the "last days" have already been fulfilled.
This doctrine must also be rejected because it denies the future literal fulfillment of key prophetic Scriptures including the Rapture, Tribulation and Second Coming. It also rejects a literal millennial kingdom. The belief that Christians will someday establish a theocracy on earth is absurd, to say the least.
For the last one hundred years the influence of Christians has waned greatly. However, the power of the major false religions (Roman Catholicism, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism) have increased significantly along with atheism and humanism.
The forces of darkness have also strengthened their control over nations throughout the world. A rapid movement in the last century was initiated consolidating the power of Satan's henchmen amongst governments worldwide-with the creation of numerous political and economic unions.
That effort is growing stronger in this century with no signs of slowing. A world government, economy and religion under the power of Satan is inevitable just as the Bible says (Revelation 13 and 17).
