This guy is definitely DF , and Im familiar with Chafer's 'return to judasim', but that it was never intended end blew me away, I'd never heard that before.

But you might be talking about some versions of Postmillennialism in which a Jewish-style "golden age" theocracy rules the planet Earth before the Lord's return, and a powerful, victorious Church presents the Lord with a conquered and subdued planet with a global "Christianized" culture. "Lord, Lord," we will say, "Look at all the wonderful stuff we have done in Your name!"
' Lord Lord Your works are a marvel to our eyes' .But thats a subject for another thread. The question here is This is a false dichotomy. Judaism was never supposed to go away. How can a return to Judaism happen if it was never abandoned? Is this a correct assertion, is any part of it correct? If it is I sure cant see it. Isnt one of the 'more perfect' aspects of the New covenant is its eternal nature as opposed to the designed temporary nature of the old?

As much as I wish and hope that the Postmil folks are right, I see the "persecuted remnant rescued at Christ's return from a world culture that is captive to Satan" scenario as more biblical. Persecuted, yet victorious, in the same way that Christ's death was a victory; and the triumphant deaths of the martyrs as a greater victory.
as I understand it AM teaches satan was bound at the cross
