Overview

“The Postmillennial position is not as widely held today as it was in the 18^th and 19^th centuries, primarily because it theorizes that the Church will eventually Christianize the world in preparation for Christ’s return.” (source)

“Pre-, Mid- and Posttribulationists, fail to understand the distinction between the Tribulation and the Day of the Lord, considering both to simply be alternate names for the 70^th week of Daniel, which they refer to as the ‘seven year Tribulation Period.” (source)

“Post- and Amillennialists, by interpreting prophecy figuratively, give little or no consideration to the above Timeframe and largely ignore or dismiss the events that will occur then.” (source)

“Not only does the Bible speak of more than one (general) resurrection and one (general) judgment, but during the thousand years Satan is said to be bound. And if that passage is just a figurative picture of the present Church Age, they have no way to explain how he is presently bound in any way―when Scripture says he ‘prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour’ (1 Pet. 5:8).” (source)

“But the failure of three of them to fully understand the distinction between the Tribulation and the Day of the Lord’s wrath, and how each fits into the chronology of the 70^th week, has adversely affected their placement of the Rapture. Pretribulationists, by mistakenly identifying the Day of the Lord’s wrath with the entire 70^th week, place the Rapture prior its beginning.” (source)
