Historic Premillennialism
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Historic Premillennialism, or post-tribulational premillennialism, is the Christian eschatological view which teaches that the second coming of Jesus Christ will occur prior to a thousand-year reign of the saints, but subsequent to the tribulation.
It was a popular interpretation amongst Protestant Christians until the rise of Dispensational premillennialism (which is associated with pre-tribulational and mid-tribulational views) in the 19th century. A major proponent is George Eldon Ladd.[1]
Premillennialism is an alternative view to postmillennialism, which teaches that the second coming of Jesus will occur after a thousand-year period of righteousness, and amillennialism, which teaches that there is no literal thousand year period.
