Perspectives on Eschatology: Amillennialism

Christianity’s “good news” rises or falls on events already accomplished—Christ’s incarnation, atoning death, triumphant resurrection, and ascension.

Nevertheless, every believer also looks forward: How will the ascended King bring history to its consummation?

Four main answers have matured over the last two millennia, and all four live comfortably inside the boundaries of orthodox, Bible-affirming faith. A person may be saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ while holding any of these viewpoints—or while still undecided.

Eschatology therefore shapes discipleship and biblical interpretation but is not a pass-fail entrance exam for the kingdom.

The four perspectives revolve around three questions:

1. When is the Millennium – prior to or after Christ’s Return?
2. What is the nature of Christ’s rule prior to and after the Second Coming?
3. What is the view of the relationship between Israel and the Church?
   

Amillennialism and postmillennialism believe the Millennium occurs prior to Christ’s Second Coming.

Both are postmillennial in this sense.

The difference between amillennialism and postmillennialism revolves around the nature of the Millennium.

Postmillennialism anticipates a golden age of Christendom prior to Christ’s Second Coming. According to their perspective, virtually all the world will be dominated by Christianity.

Amillennialism is more pessimistic in this regard. Measured success is expected, but amillennialists do not anticipate a period of Christian domination before Christ’s Second Coming.

Historic premillennialism and dispensational premillennialism believe the Millennium occurs after Christ’s Second Coming. Both are premillennial.

The difference between historic premillennialism and dispensational premillennialism revolves around the relationship between ethnic Israel and the Church.

Dispensational premillennialism differentiates between the way God views ethnic Israel and the Church. Essentially, the two groups are separate in identity and purpose in this perspective.

Historic premillennialism, like amillennialism and postmillenialism, believes the Church is the fulfillment of ethnic Israel. There is only one people of God. Ancient Israel was, in a sense, the scaffolding of the Church, which is the true people of God. There is some continuity between the two eras, similar to the overlap between the caterpillar and the butterfly.

Below is a concise comparison; it will serve as a reference point for the deeper discussion that follows.

Four Orthodox Views of the End Times

Perspective	Millennium: When?	Christ’s Rule – Before Second Coming	Christ’s Rule – After Second Coming	Israel & Church
Amillennial	Now	Spiritual/heavenly reign: Christ sits on David’s throne at the Father’s right hand; kingdom grows through the gospel while nations exist under common grace.	One climactic return brings general resurrection, final judgment, and the New Heavens & New Earth.	One people of God: believing Jews and Gentiles form the true Israel; land promises are fulfilled globally in the New Creation.
Postmillennial	Before the Second Coming – a long, golden era (not necessarily 1,000 calendar years) with most nations becoming Christianized.	Progressive, world-wide extension of Christ’s spiritual reign through the Church and its influence on society.	Christ returns after a “golden age” to consummate the kingdom, raise the dead, and judge.	One people of God; often allowing for a notable, future conversion of ethnic Israel.
Historic Premillennial	After the Second Coming – Christ returns, defeats evil, and inaugurates a literal earthly reign of 1,000 years.	Present spiritual reign from heaven; Church suffers and evangelizes amid opposition.	Visible, bodily reign of Christ on earth with resurrected saints; at the millennium’s end a final rebellion is crushed, followed by last judgment and the eternal state.	Church is the fulfillment of true Israel, but many hold that ethnic Israel will be regathered and converted, enjoying distinctive blessings in the millennium.
Dispensational Premillennial	After the Second Coming (following a separate rapture & seven-year tribulation).	Christ rules spiritually in heaven while the Church era continues; God’s prophetic program for national Israel is paused.	Christ returns to establish a Jewish-centered millennial kingdom with restored temple sacrifices; after a final revolt comes judgment and eternity.	Two distinct peoples and programs: Israel (earthly promises) and the Church (heavenly destiny) remain forever separate in identity and purpose.

A Focus upon Amillennialism

This article will focus upon amillennialism. The other three perspectives will be the topic of future articles.

Amillennialism alone identifies the millennium with the present age, counting everything between Pentecost (the birth of the Church) and the Second Coming of Christ as the thousand-year “reign with Christ.”

The amillennial perspective tells one coherent story that stretches from the Garden of Eden to the ultimate culmination, the Garden-City of Revelation 22.

The first half of this article traces the interval of time between the Creation to Pentecost, establishing categories that will prove crucial in discussing the tribulation, judgment, and New Creation in the second half of the article.

Epoch 1 – Creation, Fall, and the Proto-Gospel

Text anchor: Genesis 1–3

1. Creation in six days establishes God as sovereign King and mankind as His vice-regent, bearing His image (Gen 1:26-28).
2. The Fall (Gen 3) fractures creation peace and harmony (shalom) : death, curse, and exile spoil the human experience.
3. First gospel promise (Gen 3:15), called the protoevangelium, foretells a Seed (Christ) who will crush the head of the serpent (Satan). Amillennialists understand this not merely as distant prediction but as the interpretive keystone of the whole Bible. Every subsequent covenant and prophecy pushes the Seed-promise forward.

Epoch 2 – Patriarchal Promise: Seed, Land, Blessing

Text anchor: Genesis 12–50

1. Abrahamic covenant (Gen 12; 15; 17) binds God by oath to provide a people, a place, and global blessing.
2. Progressive typology: each patriarch (Isaac, Jacob, Joseph) and parcel of territory previews a bigger fulfilment. By the time Paul writes Romans 4:13, the promise has expanded from a few hundred square miles in Canaan to inheriting “the world” (kosmos).
3. The land, therefore, is not discarded in amillennial thought; it is universalized. The type (Canaan) points to the antitype (the renewed earth).

Epoch 3 – Old-Covenant Kingdom: Exodus to Exile

Text anchor: Exodus, Joshua–Kings, the Prophets

1. Sinai formalizes Israel’s theocratic charter; tabernacle and sacrifices dramatize substitutionary atonement.
2. Conquest to monarchy shows partial fulfilment: Israel dwells in the land under Davidic rule. This prefigures the redeemed under the rule of Christ the King.
3. Prophetic tension grows: the nation’s unfaithfulness sparks exile, but the prophets embed eschatological hope within their message —a new covenant, a Spirit-filled people, a worldwide reign of righteousness (Jer 31; Isa 2; Ezek 36; Dan 7).
4. Amillennialists see in these prophecies near and distant horizons layered together. For example, Isaiah’s vision of wolves dwelling with lambs (Isa 11) anticipates the peace that Christ inaugurates now among reconciled peoples (Eph 2:14-18) and will consummate in the New Creation.

Epoch 4 – First Advent and Kingdom Inauguration

Text anchor: The Gospels; Acts 2; Hebrews

1. Incarnation: the eternal Son takes flesh, uniting divinity and humanity forever.
2. Cross & Resurrection: the decisive defeat of sin, death, and Satan (Col 2:15; Heb 2:14-15).
3. Ascension & Session: Peter’s Pentecost sermon (Acts 2:30-36) declares that Jesus now occupies David’s throne and has poured out the Spirit as proof. From an amillennial standpoint, this is the beginning of the millennium.
4. Satan Bound (Rev 20:1-3): Christ chains the dragon “so that he might not deceive the nations” during the gospel’s global advance. The binding is spiritual limitation, not total inactivity—hence ongoing persecution (Rev 12:12-17).
5. Kingdom Already / Not Yet: parables like the mustard seed (Matt 13:31-32) reveal a dynamic present reign that remains hidden to worldly eyes.

At this midpoint in redemptive history, the amillennial narrative has established all its guiding coordinates: covenant fulfilment in Christ, a presently reigning King, a curtailed yet active devil, and a Church commissioned to disciple the nations.

---

This Age and the Age to Come

One of the clearest and most important biblical frameworks for understanding redemptive history is the contrast between “this age” and “the age to come.” This two-age schema runs throughout the New Testament and lies at the heart of the amillennial understanding of the end times.

“This Age”

In the New Testament, “this age” refers to the present world order—marked by sin, death, persecution, and the ongoing mission of the Church.

• 2 Corinthians 4:4 – Satan is called “the god of this age.”
• Galatians 1:4 – Paul calls it “this present evil age.”
• Luke 20:34 – Jesus speaks of people marrying “in this age.”

It is the age in which believers must endure suffering, preach the gospel, and await the return of Christ.

“The Age to Come”

The “age to come” is the future, consummated reality of the kingdom of God—marked by resurrection, eternal life, and the full presence of God.

• Luke 20:35 – Those considered worthy “to attain to that age and to the resurrection from the dead.”
• Ephesians 1:21 – Christ is exalted “not only in this age but also in the one to come.”
• Hebrews 6:5 – Refers to “the powers of the age to come.”

This is the age of final glory—when sin, Satan, and death are fully defeated, and believers live bodily in the New Heavens and New Earth.

The Significance for Amillennialism

Amillennialism affirms that the Bible speaks of two overarching ages—not three. This is a decisive argument against any theological system that proposes a third, interim age (like a 1,000-year earthly reign after Christ’s return).

• “This age” = the present Church age (the symbolic “millennium”).
• “The age to come” = the eternal state, beginning immediately at Christ’s return.

Jesus’ own teaching indicates a direct transition from this age to the next:

“Those who are considered worthy to attain to that age and to the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage…” (Luke 20:35)

There is no intermediate age with mortal humans marrying, bearing children, and possibly rebelling after Christ’s return. Instead, when Christ returns, “this age” ends and “the age to come” begins—marked by resurrection, judgment, and eternal life.

---

The Present Age – The Millennium Is Now

Revelation 20 speaks of a “thousand-year” reign in which Christ rules, saints live and reign with Him, and Satan is bound.

Amillennialists interpret this period as the entire Church age, beginning with Christ’s resurrection and ascension and ending with His Second Coming.

Amillennialists do not limit the length of the Millennium to a thousand years. The number 1,000 is understood to convey completeness, not a specific period of time limited to 1,000 days.

Mathematically, 1,000 is 10*10*10 which leads to this interpretation.

Christ is not waiting to rule; He is reigning now:

• Acts 2:30–36 declares that Jesus, now seated at God’s right hand, reigns on David’s throne.
• Ephesians 1:20–22 states that Christ has been exalted “far above all rule and authority… not only in this age but also in the one to come.”
• 1 Corinthians 15:25 explains, “He must reign until He has put all His enemies under His feet.”

This reign is real, spiritual, and heavenly—administered from the Father’s right hand.

Satan Is Bound (But Active)

Amillennialists interpret Satan’s binding (Rev 20:1–3) as restraining his ability to deceive the nations in a global sense.

Before Christ, the Gentile world was in darkness; now, gospel light penetrates every nation.

Satan is not inactive—he prowls (1 Pet 5:8)—but he is limited in global influence:

• He cannot prevent the gospel’s spread.
• He cannot stop the ingathering of the elect.
• He cannot form a unified global deception until the “little season” at the end.

This understanding of the binding of Satan aligns with Matthew 12:29. Jesus describes the binding of a strong man to plunder his house, which is exactly what Christ has already accomplished.

The First Resurrection

Revelation 20:4–6 says that those who “came to life and reigned with Christ” experience a first resurrection. Amillennialists commonly interpret this as the believers’ entrance into the intermediate state at death, not a bodily resurrection:

• “They lived” = their souls reign with Christ in heaven.
• “The rest of the dead did not live again” = the unbelieving dead await bodily resurrection, but not in joyful communion.
• This interpretation avoids the need for two bodily resurrections, aligning with John 5:28–29, which describes one event in a single hour that both groups arise.

Thus, the “millennium” is a time when Christ reigns, the Church suffers and conquers, and deceased saints enjoy bliss in His presence.

God’s Rule Over the Nations in the Church Age

Amillennial theology recognizes that God governs the world in two ways during the Church age:

• Common Grace: God restrains sin, preserves civil order, and allows human culture to flourish to some degree (Gen 9; Rom 13). He works through governments, families, and institutions in non-redemptive manners underneath his sovereignty.
• Saving Grace: God gathers His elect from every nation through the preaching of the gospel, regenerating and sanctifying them by the Spirit.

These two realms overlap but are distinct. The Church’s job is to bear witness, make disciples and call all people to repentance and faith. It is not to transform the world politically and culturally, although some Christians witness through these avenues and promote a Christian worldview as they are able.

No Christianized “Golden Age”

Unlike postmillennialism, amillennialism does not expect a golden age of worldwide Christian domination before Christ returns. This is the primary difference between amillennialism and postmillenialism.

The gospel will go forth to the nations, and the Church will grow, but opposition and suffering will continue (2 Tim 3:12). The wheat and the weeds grow together until the harvest (Matt 13:24–30).

---

The “Little Season” and the Final Tribulation

Satan Released

Revelation 20:7–9 describes a brief period at the end of the millennium when Satan is “released from his prison.”

Amillennialists interpret this as a final surge of satanic activity prior to Christ’s Second Coming:

• Global deception and rebellion.
• Persecution of the Church.
• Rise of the “man of lawlessness” (2 Thess 2:3–10), also called the Antichrist.

This “little season” overlaps with what dispensationalists call the Great Tribulation, but without a pre-tribulation rapture that removes the Church from the earth in their perspective.

The Church remains on earth, bearing witness amid trial.

The Great Tribulation Is the Church’s Normal Path

The Church has always suffered tribulation (John 16:33; Acts 14:22). The “great tribulation” in Revelation 7 refers to the entire age and culminates in this final period of heightened conflict.

Amillennialists believe:

• Believers remain on earth and suffer during this period.
• Many will be martyred for their testimony (Rev 6:9–11).
• Yet, the Church overcomes by the blood of the Lamb (Rev 12:11).

---

A Mass Conversion of Israel?

Romans 11:25–27 suggests that “all Israel will be saved.”

Many amillennialists interpret this as a future large-scale turning of ethnic Jews to Christ before the Second Coming.

The amillennial view of Israel differs from the dispensational premillennialist, though:

• Amillennialists do not believe in the necessity of a restored nation of Israel or a restored, third Jewish Temple
• Amillennialists believe Jewish Christians are part of the one people of God—the Church.
• Amilennialists believe this ingathering fulfills God’s covenantal faithfulness to Abraham’s descendants, but within the New Covenant.

In this way, amillennialism retains a meaningful future for the Jewish people without reverting to a national theocracy.

---

The Second Advent and the End of the Age

Amillennialism teaches one climactic return of Christ, not two, as in the premillennial dispensational view.

At Christ’s return, the following will occur:

Resurrection of the Dead

• All the dead—believers and unbelievers—are raised bodily at once (John 5:28–29; Acts 24:15).
• Believers are glorified and clothed in immortality (1 Cor 15:50–54).
• Unbelievers rise to shame and judgment (Dan 12:2).

Final Judgment

• All stand before Christ (Matt 25:31–46; Rev 20:11–15).
• The Book of Life is opened.
• Saints are welcomed into eternal joy; the wicked are cast into the lake of fire.

New Heavens and New Earth

• The present heavens and earth are purged by fire (2 Pet 3:10–13).
• God creates a new, transfigured cosmos (Rev 21:1–4).
• The dwelling of God is with man. No more tears, death, pain, or sin.

There is no millennium after the Second Coming. The return of Christ brings all things to completion.

Summary of Key Events in the Amillennial Timeline

Event	Description
Christ’s First Coming	Inaugurates the Kingdom, defeats Satan, begins the “millennium”
Church Age (Millennium)	Christ reigns from heaven; Satan is bound; the Church suffers and grows
Intermediate State	Believers reign with Christ in heaven; unbelievers await judgment
Little Season	Satan released; final rebellion; Antichrist rises; tribulation intensifies
Second Coming	Christ returns visibly and bodily; raises the dead; judges all
New Creation	Eternal state begins; earth renewed; saints dwell with God forever

Where Are the Dead Now?

Amillennialism affirms a biblical doctrine of the intermediate state: the condition of human beings between physical death and the final resurrection. This state is temporary—a “waiting place” of conscious experience but not the final condition.

Believers in the Intermediate State

• At death, the soul of the believer immediately enters the presence of Christ (Phil 1:23; 2 Cor 5:6–8).
• They are conscious, joyful, worshiping, and resting from their labors (Rev 6:9–11; Heb 12:22–24).
• This is the “first resurrection” of Revelation 20:4–6, interpreted spiritually.
• They do not yet have glorified bodies. Full glorification awaits the resurrection at Christ’s return (Rom 8:23).

This intermediate state is blessed, but it is not the believer’s final hope. The final hope is bodily resurrection in a renewed creation.

Unbelievers in the Intermediate State

• The souls of unbelievers descend to a place of conscious punishment (Luke 16:22–31).
• They remain there under God’s judgment, awaiting the resurrection of condemnation (John 5:29).
• Like believers, they are disembodied but conscious.

Thus, amillennialism teaches continuity of personal identity, conscious awareness, and moral accountability immediately after death—even before the final judgment.

Typical Criticisms of Amillennialism and Responses

Allegorizing Prophecy?

Criticism: Amillennialists “spiritualize” or “allegorize” the Old Testament, especially prophetic texts like Ezekiel 40–48 or Revelation 20, rather than taking them literally.

Response:

• The issue is not literal vs. figurative but genre-sensitive reading.
• Prophetic and apocalyptic texts use symbolic language to convey deep theological truths. Revelation 1:1 says the vision is “signified” (Greek: sēmainō)—intended to be read symbolically.
• New Testament authors frequently reinterpret Old Testament prophecies in ways that defy strict literalism (e.g., Acts 2:16–21, Heb 8:13, Matt 2:15).
• Christ and the apostles model a Christocentric, typological hermeneutic: Old Testament promises find their true and final meaning in Jesus and His Church.

Dismissing Israel’s Future?

Criticism: Amillennialists deny God’s covenant faithfulness to ethnic Israel and erase future hope for the Jewish people.

Response:

• Amillennialists commonly affirm that God is not finished with ethnic Jews. Romans 11:25–26 speaks of a future “fullness” or large-scale turning to Christ among the Jewish people.
• What is rejected is the idea of two parallel plans—one for Israel, one for the Church. There is one olive tree, and Gentile believers are grafted into it (Rom 11:17–24).
• The promises made to Abraham are fulfilled in Christ and extended to all who are in Him (Gal 3:7–29).
• Ethnic distinctions do not vanish, but salvation status is based on union with Christ, not heritage or geography.

Denying Christ an Earthly Kingdom?

Criticism: Christ deserves a visible, physical, earthly reign. Amillennialism confines His kingdom to heaven.

Response:

• Christ’s reign is real, not abstract. He sits on David’s throne now (Acts 2:30–36).
• His rule is cosmic, encompassing heaven and earth (Matt 28:18; Eph 1:20–22).
• The kingdom is both already and not yet. Christ reigns now, and that reign will be made visible when He returns.
• The New Earth is the fulfillment of His reign—an eternal kingdom, not a temporary earthly reign.

Ignoring Revelation’s Chronology?

Criticism: Revelation presents events in sequential order. Chapters 19 (Second Coming), 20 (Millennium), and 21 (New Creation) must happen in that order.

Response:

• Revelation is structured cyclically, not chronologically. It contains seven visions or cycles that recapitulate the entire age between Christ’s two comings (cf. Rev 6, 8–9, 11, 12–14, 15–16, 17–19, 20–22).
• Revelation 20 is another retelling of the Church age—from a different angle, emphasizing the heavenly reign of saints and final defeat of Satan.
• This method harmonizes Revelation with the unified pattern of a single return of Christ, single resurrection, and single judgment seen in the rest of Scripture.

No Earthly Triumph for the Church?

Criticism: Amillennialism is defeatist. It teaches that evil will persist until the end and denies the Church any earthly success or victory.

Response:

• Amillennialism is realistic, not pessimistic. The Church will grow, and the gospel will reach all nations—but amid suffering (Matt 24:9–14; Acts 14:22).
• Victory is measured by faithfulness, not dominance. The Church “conquers” by holding fast to Christ, even unto death (Rev 12:11).
• True triumph comes when Christ returns, ending sin and death forever.

A Theological Reflection on Israel, Land, and the New Creation

Amillennial theology affirms the integrity of God’s covenant promises to Abraham, including the land promise—but interprets them in light of Christ and the expansion of redemptive history.

Christ: The True Israel and Heir

• Jesus is the true Seed of Abraham (Gal 3:16).
• He fulfills the role of faithful Israel (Matt 2:15; Isa 49:3–6).
• In Him, all the promises of God are “yes and amen” (2 Cor 1:20).

Believers: Heirs Through Union with Christ

• Those united to Christ—Jew and Gentile—are co-heirs (Rom 8:17).
• Believers are children of Abraham by faith (Gal 3:7–29).
• Romans 4:13 says Abraham was promised not just a strip of land, but “the world” (kosmos).

Thus, the land promise is not abolished but fulfilled and globalized:

• Canaan was a type, pointing to the New Earth.
• In the New Creation, all believers inherit all the earth—no need to re-establish exclusive boundaries.

What About Jewish Believers in the New Creation?

It is possible that glorified Jewish believers could occupy the nation of Israel in the New Creation. This would be both biblically sound and consistent with amillennialism:

In the New Creation, ethnic descendants of Abraham may live in the territory of ancient Israel as part of their global inheritance—not because of ethnic priority but because they are in Christ.

• There will be no political theocracy or rebuilt temple.
• The entire earth will be sacred space, filled with God’s glory.
• Ethnic and cultural distinctives may remain (Rev 21:24–26), but in perfect harmony and equality.

In short: The land promise remains, but its scope and meaning are transformed in Christ.The New Heavens and New Earth

The Climax of Redemption

The end goal of redemptive history is not merely that individuals escape to heaven. It is that God will dwell with His people in a renewed creation. This is the full realization of the promise: “I will be their God, and they will be My people” (Rev 21:3).

At the return of Christ:

• The present heavens and earth are purged by fire (2 Pet 3:10–13).
• This is not annihilation, but transformation—a cleansing and glorifying of the created order.
• The New Jerusalem descends from heaven, symbolizing the perfected people of God (Rev 21:2).
• There is no more curse, death, mourning, crying, or pain (Rev 21:4).

This is the eternal state, the final destination of all history and of every believer.

What Is the New Creation Like?

• It is physical and material, not merely spiritual.
• Believers are raised in glorified bodies (Phil 3:20–21; 1 Cor 15:42–49).
• The whole cosmos is freed from corruption (Rom 8:21).
• Culture, art, music, nations, and diversity are brought into perfect, Christ-centered harmony (Rev 21:24–26).

This is not a return to Eden, but an advance upon it. God’s original purpose for humanity —to dwell with them in a glorified earth—is finally fulfilled.

Will People Bear Children or Convert During the Eternal State?

Amillennialism answers no:

• The resurrection inaugurates the eternal, unchanging state.
• There is no marriage or procreation in the resurrection (Matt 22:30).
• There are no non-believers left to convert.
• There will be no rebellion, no second fall, no sin ever again (Rev 22:3–5).

The New Creation is not a new opportunity to choose salvation—it is the eternal reward of the redeemed and the eternal judgment of the unrepentant.

Final Theological Summary: The Beauty and Coherence of Amillennialism

Amillennialism offers a clear, Christ-centered, covenantally unified view of Scripture’s end-times teaching. It is both spiritually enriching and exegetically responsible.

Key Doctrinal Highlights

Doctrine	Amillennial View
Christ’s Kingdom	Already inaugurated in His first coming; consummated at His return
Millennium	Symbolic for the Church age, during which Christ reigns from heaven
Satan’s Binding	Prevents global deception; permits gospel expansion
Resurrection	Single general resurrection of all the dead when Christ returns
Judgment	One final judgment of all people—righteous and unrighteous
Israel	One people of God, with believing Jews and Gentiles united in Christ
Land Promise	Fulfilled in the New Earth, extended to all who are in Christ
Tribulation	Ongoing reality culminating in a final period of intensified opposition
Second Coming	Visible, bodily, climactic return that ushers in the eternal state
New Creation	Eternal, physical, glorified dwelling of God with His people

Strengths of the Amillennial Framework

1. Simplicity and Coherence
   • One return, one resurrection, one judgment, one eternal state.
   • Avoids the complex sequencing of rapture, tribulation, millennium, rebellion, etc.
2. Christ-Centered Hermeneutic
   • Interprets the Old Testament in light of the New, with Christ as the fulfillment.
   • Sees typology not as symbolic only, but as reality realized in the person and work of Jesus.
3. Unified People of God
   • No hard separation between Israel and the Church.
   • Believing Jews and Gentiles together form the true Israel of God (Gal 6:16; Eph 2:11–22).
4. Realistic and Hopeful
   • Acknowledges suffering and evil now but anticipates complete renewal at Christ’s return.
   • Encourages faithfulness, not escapism or triumphalism.
5. Biblical Restraint
   • Does not rely on speculative end-times charts.
   • Anchors doctrine in clear texts and interprets difficult ones (like Revelation 20) in harmony with the whole Bible.

Final Word to the Reader

If you are wondering how to make sense of Revelation, judgment, tribulation, and Christ’s return, amillennialism offers a deeply satisfying, biblical framework. It calls you to:

• Look backward to Christ’s finished work at the cross.
• Live faithfully under His reign now, even amid suffering.
• Long eagerly for His return, when you will be raised to everlasting joy in a renewed world.

Your future is not escape, but resurrection.
