* Postmillennial Christians play to win, filled with confidence in the Coach and the Playbook.
* Amillennial Christians really don’t expect to move the ball too far past the 50-yard line, but they love the Coach, and will play their hearts out for Him, hoping for a tie at best.
* Premillennial Christians have already conceded the game, but can’t get out of it, since it’s the only game in town. They are accustomed to letting the other team run all over them.
* Dispensational Christians add a wrinkle to the premillennial commitment to personal and corporate defeat. They huddle in their own end-zones, and eagerly chat about an anticipated helicopter ride out of the game, at which point they can sit back and watch the other team and the fans in the stadium engage in a riot.

Or, as a friend of mine shared, he was “Premillenial, of course. Because the Kingdom of God is like a mustard tree, which started off huge then shrank and shrank until it was just a seed and the whole garden was overrun with thistles. Then at the last moment, the gardener came in and plucked out the little seed and burned down the rest of the field, which had become so overwhelmed with chaff and weeds that it couldn’t possibly been any worse...”
So the ‘helicopter ride’ is the Rapture?
What if That is a ‘Pipe Dream?’
Outstanding!
In the last days scoffers will come ...
