“But it’s the optimism of the postmil view that Boettner stresses, and that is refreshing to consider: “What a tremendous difference there would be in this world if the rank and file of the people were Christians, and if Christian standards were the generally accepted rule in our social, economic, educational and political life! . . . The Millennium is, in fact, simply the full development of the kingdom of grace as it comes to fruition in this world. This kingdom begins very small, but it grows and eventually it dominates the whole earth.””
