Hello all,
Please can someone explain to me what happens to Christians in all the below theologies (please list any I have missed out) before Christ returns? and if there will be any degree of protection for them from God if things are very bad on earth just before Jesus returns? Also which of the below does not include any rapture? And those who believe the Millennial has already begun, how do they know when it started as its only suppose to last 1 thousand years right?

  1. Post trib premillennialism
  2. pre-trib (dispensational) Premillennialism (I know Christians are suppose to be raptured and removed so no need to comment on this one?
  3. Mid Trib
  4. Postmillennialism
  5. Amillennialism

I am, as is Christianity, "amillennialist". The idea of a one thousand year reign of Christ at some future point hasn't been a part of Christianity since the Council of Nicea. The Nicene Creed was amended to include "whose kingdom shall have no end" to dispel the idea.

The idea revived itself among some Protestant groups over the last several hundred years in various forms. Most of them center on a seven year period of tribulation at some future date. The most recent idea is that believers will be "raptured" prior to that period and not suffer any of its tribulations, a thing completely foreign to Christianity.

The "millennium" is a time of indeterminate length that no one can say when it began. As Jesus said at Luke 17:20, "the kingdom of God does not come with observation".

None of the five 'ism's' you list will be what the Lord has planned for our future.
We Christians will experience all that is prophesied for the end times. We must endure until the end. Matthew 24:13, Revelation 14:12
But there will be some faithful people who will be taken to a place of safety on earth for the 42 month time of Anti-Christ world control.

Then when Jesus Returns, He will gather His people and they will be His priests and co-rulers for the Millennium. Revelation 5:9-10

Pretrib Paradox by a former Pretrib believer:


A description of the gathering of the Church is found at the end of 1 Thessalonians chapter 4, and the timing of the event is found in chapter 5.

I was Pretrib Premil, then Posttrib Premil. I am now Posttrib Amil. When Jesus comes that is it! It is the end. We are into eternity. Sheep are put on His right hand, the goats on His left hand. Caught up or caught on.

Daniel 9 is now fulfilled, so is much of Matthew 24 and the great tribulation. We are currently in Revelation 20.
