Post-millenial

When you read Daniel 2 it is easy to see why some people become postmillenial. The kingdom of God seems to start small but it grows until it fills the whole earth. Now if you only had the view of Daniel it would be easy to see that this is the proper interpretation. However, we do not live in the time of Daniel. We see two comings of the Rock rather than one. When Christ came the first time He put in place the Kingdom but the kingdom will not be realized until the final coming of Christ. We need to know that today the kingdom is a redemptive kingdom. Second we need to know that the kingdom is here and yet the kingdom is not complete and won't be until Christ returns. Finally, it is important that we can only enter the kingdom by our response to the king. That is why I am not postmillenial
