Jesus Loses in History Premillennialism and amillennialism essentially agree on the historical conflict of the present age. Neither amillennialists nor premillennialists care to admit this, but it can be demonstrated without much difficulty. When we consider how each position answers the two questions of the historical conflict, it is clear that both are fundamentally pessimistic about the present age.
Amillennial Pessimism Consider the amillennial scenario.
Jesus' disciples go into all the world and preach the Gospel, as He commanded. Here and there people are converted to Christ. Sometimes whole nations are converted. In the long run, however, the number of Christians begins to decrease. The Church is overwhelmed by the wrath of Satanic humanity until Jesus returns to save the saints and judge the world.
