Definition of Amillennialism |
|
Amillennialists do not believe in a
Millennial Kingdom.
Followers of this view hold that Christ currently reigns
in the hearts of Christians and that there is no need
for a physical reign. The future reign with Christ
described in Revelation 20 is considered to be ruling
with Christ in heaven and not on earth.
Because there are
promises to Israel that are to take place in the
Millennial Kingdom, this view holds that the promises to
Israel have been transferred to the church. God is
done with Israel as they have rejected their Messiah.
See Covenant Theology for more information.
See also
premillennialism, and
postmillennialism for different
views concerning the Millennial Kingdom. For
further discussion see the article on the
Millennial
Kingdom.
