Adherents of this viewpoint believe that a "utopia" of sorts will be physically set up by man, through the preaching of the Gospels or by other means, and the Millennial Kingdom is established ''before'' Christ's return. This belief necessitates that mankind is capable of making things better; under man wars, famines, pestilences, and other maladies will end. This viewpoint not only contradicts Scripture regarding the conditions of the world prior to the Second Coming, it contradicts human history during the past two thousand years; there was never a decade in any point of time in which man was not at war with each other, and the past century witnessed two world wars which killed untold millions. | Adherents of this viewpoint believe that a "utopia" of sorts will be physically set up by man, through the preaching of the Gospels or by other means, and the Millennial Kingdom is established ''before'' Christ's return.
