Supporting arguments
Jesus will return to reign over Earth at the end of the millennium described in the Book of Revelation. This sequence of events is plainly described in the New Testament. [1]
Opposing arguments
The reign of Jesus predicted is not a literal physical kingdom over which he directly governs. It is the current, ongoing age of the Christian church, over which Jesus rules as God. The "thousand year" duration is also symbolic. [2]
Postmillennialism contradicts the teachings of the Reforned creeds, or the confessions and doctrines of the Reformed churches. Specifically, these include the Second Helvetic Confession, Heidelberg Catechism and the Belgic Confession. [3]
