Postmillennial View:
We are in the age of the church (millennium) during which the world will be won for Christ through preaching the gospel to all people (Matt. 24:14)
Christ's return, the resurrection of the dead, and the final judgment will all come at the end of time
Amillennial View:
There will be no literal thousand-year reign of Jesus on earth- it is the present church age
Jesus reigns in heaven now, using the spiritual ministry of the church
Historic Premillennial View:
Christ's return and the resurrection of believers precedes a literal millennium
Christ reigns with the saints on earth for a thousand years before the final judgment
Dispensational Premillennial View:
Believers will be raptured to escape the tribulation
The purpose of the tribulation is to restore Israel
Christ returns at the end of the tribulation to reign on earth for a thousand years before the final judgment
