We shall see which perspective has resonated more with "objective" reality however many years hence.

After seeing the track record of the pretrib/premil crowd interpreting a hundred years of "objective" reality (especially Hal Lindsey), I'm all the more convinced of the postmil (or at least the amil) position. I fully understand the pretrib/premil position - in fact, I used to hold it myself - I just have come to believe the postmil view is more consistent with the commands of Matthew 28:18-20 and the expectations of Matthew 16:18-19.

Here's some recommended reading if you want to see the scorecard for pretrib/premil historic interpretation:

ARMAGEDDON NOW!
