I've been spending some time trying to understand the timing/sequencing of sequences of the following three eschatological views. I wonder if anyone holding to one of the three views is able to easily see any flaws in the following? Thanks
Premillennialism (Historic)
The belief that Jesus’s returns prior to a literal millennial reign on earth:
• Jesus’ death and resurrection is Christ’s first coming.
• The second coming of Jesus is preceded by a period of intense tribulation, ending with
• a visible second coming of Jesus in the sky,
• Christians—living and dead—being caught up to Jesus,
• Satan is bound up, ushering in a
• a literal 1,000 year reign of Christ on earth in an earthly city.
• The 1,000 years of peace is concluded with satan being released, enabling
• Satan and the unbelievers gathering for war against the city, in which Jesus is victorious,
• Resurrection of the remaining dead—all unbelievers, and Christians who died in the millennium,
• judgement and destruction of Satan and the unbelievers, and
• the heavens and earth are recreated and made new.
Postmillennialism
The belief that Jesus’ return is after a figurative millennium—a golden age:
• Jesus’ death and resurrection is Christ’s first coming.
• Satan is bound up at some future time after this first coming, causing
• victorious growth of the gospel in the last days, ushering in a
• ‘golden age’ of the Church on earth where the majority of people are Christian, and where
• Christ is not physically present, being understood to be ruling from heaven.
• The ‘golden age’ concluding with the visible second coming of Jesus in the sky,
• one resurrection of all, both Christians and unbelievers,
• judgement and destruction of Satan and the unbelievers, and
• the heavens and earth being recreated and made new.
Amillennialism
Amillennialism rejects of the idea of a literal 1,000 years, in favour of the idea that this number is symbolic of the age of the church. :
• The figurative millennium, the “Kingdom of God” was ushered in at Christ’s resurrection,
• This includes Satan being ‘bound’ up, and
• jesus being understood as ruling from heaven.
• The end of the millennium involves release of Satan, signs of the times, and the anti-Christ, and the almost destruction of the church.
• The millennium will conclude with the visible second coming of Jesus in the sky,
• one resurrection of all, both Christians and unbelievers,
• judgement and destruction of Satan and the wicked, and
• the heavens and earth being recreated and made new.
