“I could never be a Dispensational Premillennialist because they are pessimistic/defeatists who have a negative view of reality, they don’t want to be involved in society, they are just waiting around for the rapture. I’d rather be an optimist believing in victory not defeat.”
Sound familiar? It sure does for me. I have heard and read these sorts of claims online for the last year or so since the resurgence of Postmillennialism. However, are these claims justified? Do these claims truly reflect the reality of Dispensational theology? Are Dispensationalists pessimists in the way that they are portrayed? I hope that my article will challenge the claims of the Postmillennialist and will provide further insight into why we believe what we do.
