eschatology

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.
