In reply to:
[color:"blue"]Question for the Postmil: If the defeat of the enemies of Christ is realized by the gradual victory of the Gospel over the majority of the world, how is it that the enemies of Christ were really defeated if they only rise up to essentially take over again prior to the Second Coming?



Where does 1 Cor 15 say that the enemies of Christ "take over again" prior to the Second Coming? I think you are missing some scripture references for that if there are any.

BTW here is a great exposition of 1 Cor 15:

[u]An Exegetical Defense of Postmillennialism from 1 Cor 15:24-26[/u]

Your "order of events" in 1 Cor 15 is correct.

And your question to the Amill is one of the issues in the debate between Amills and Postmills. See this article, This World and the Kingdom of God[/u].
