So why was the Jews’ desire for salvation so far off from God’s plan? Because they did not recognize their truest need. We all want salvation from something, but is that something the same thing that Jesus came to save us from? It is true that Jesus is the King of Righteousness, and therefore, he came to save us from the tyranny of earthly kings and corrupt governments. But how does he accomplish this salvation? He accomplishes this salvation by first saving individuals from their sin. Apart from Christ, our greatest enemy is not the pagan culture or wicked politicians. Our greatest enemy is God.

One of my struggles with postmil doctrine is Isaiah 2:2-4 and other verses like it. Specifically in verse 4:
(ESV) they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war anymore.
That doesn't seem to describe the last 2,000 years, in which there has almost always been constant war in some part of the world. More wars that before Christ came, I think.
