Premillennialism

Premillennialism believes in Christ's physical return before a literal 1,000-year earthly reign, with historic premillennialism placing it after the tribulation and dispensational premillennialism holding a pre-tribulation rapture of the church.

Postmillennialism

Postmillennialism is a Christian belief that Christ will return after a period of Christian prosperity in which the church's influence will transform society through the gospel.

The Tested Church (Revelation 2:8-11)

Christians and churches will face hardships from Satan, but by remaining faithful to Jesus, they can trust in God's power to limit evil and reward their perseverance.
