*Postmillennialism is basically the False Teaching of a 1,000 year Millennium on earth BEFORE the 2nd Advent.

The prophet Daniel, speaking of the same power, says it "shall make war with the saints, and prevail against them, until the Ancient of days shall come;" which he explains to be the coming of the Son of man in the clouds of heaven to take his dominion and glory and kingdom, that all people, nations and languages should serve him; which is the time, as Daniel teaches, when the judgment shall set, and the books be opened.
