MILLENNIUM, PREMILLENNIAL VIEW
The premillennial view teaches that Christ’s second coming precedes the Millennium, a future period of righteousness and peace. It understands the present age as continuing in conflict and mixed spiritual conditions until Christ returns and establishes His reign.
Biblical Usage
This view appeals to the parables of the wheat and tares and the pounds, understanding the present age as a period in which good and evil remain together and Christ is absent. It emphasizes the apostles’ expectation of Christ’s coming, judgment, and the future establishment of universal righteousness.
