Are we living in the End Time Click here for End Times Bible Study Flyer
The discussion will focus on the three end-time views. Pre- millennialism, Post-millennialism, and Amillennialism are the three main Christian views on the end times, differing primarily on the timing of Christ’s Second Coming relative to a symbolic or literal 1,000-year millennial reign (Revelation 20).
1. Premillennialism says Christ returns before the millennium (a future earthly kingdom).
2. Postmillennialism says Christ returns after the millennium, which is a period of Christian cultural
dominance.
3. Amillennialism sees the millennium as symbolic and says we’re in it now, with Christ returning at the
end of the current age for final judgment. This is the Church of God view.
