ammillenialism

The term amillennialism suggests that amillennialists either do not believe in any millennium or that they ignore the first six verses of Revelation 20, which speak of a millennial reign. Neither of these statements is true. While amillennialists do not believe in a literal thousand-year earthly reign following the return of Christ, the term amillennialism is not an accurate description. Realized millennialism may be a better term since “amillennialists” believe Revelation 20 describes a millennium but not that it is exclusively future. Realized millennialism seems more accurate. Unfortunately it is clumsy and doesn't flow well with pre- and post-millennialism so amillennialism continues in use.
