Amillennialism sees the 1000 year kingdom as being metaphorically described in Rev. 20:1–6 in which "Christ's reign" is current in and through the church.

They also believe a tribulation will occur – a seven-year period of time when believers will experience worldwide persecution and martyrdom.
Historic premillennialism is one of the two premillennial systems of Christian eschatology, with the other being dispensational premillennialism.

Amillennialism or amillenarism is a chillegoristic eschatological position in Christianity which holds that there will be no millennial reign of the righteous on Earth.This view contrasts with both postmillennial and, especially, with premillennial interpretations of Revelation 20 and various other prophetic and eschatological passages of the Bible.
