Eschatology (end times) has 3 primary views in the Covenant Theology framework.

Revelation mentions a 1,000 year reign of Christ. Is this “millennial reign”

  • Historic Pre-Mil.  A future literal 1,000 years we are waiting on to be followed by a consummation.
  • A-Mil. A spiritual reference where a final consumption is coming.
  • Post-Mil. A “1,000” years, referring to a long time like, I was in line for a 1,000 years.  This belief includes some prophecies have happened and pending the final consummation.

In the 1820s a new theological framework was invented called Dispensationalism.  In this construct there is one eschatological position.

  • Dispensational Pre-Mil.  This is not related to Historic Pre-Mil.  There are significant differences like the rapture before the rapture.  
  • When the Declaration of Independence was signed, 39 of the signers had seminary degrees.  Not one of them was dispensational.
