		Christian amillennialists generally hold that the Second Coming of Christ will end the world and usher in eternity, a "new heaven and new earth," whereas Christian millennialists hold that there will be a millennium here, within time and on our own earth, before eternity begins.
		At the turn of the century, Christian postmillennialism tended to be focussed on the social gospel.
		Today, conservative Christian postmillennialism includes Christian Reconstructionists, the militias, and other groups which aim towards the destruction or subversion of the current social order in favor of "Old Testament law." Liberal Christian postmillennialism is a component of the ecumenical movement--something which conservative Christians consider a forerunner of Antichrist.

		The proponents of Realized Eschatology, or the "A.D. 70" doctrine, have deceived and are deceiving some brethren into believing that all the end time events have already been accomplished.
		Eschatology is the term that some theologians use for the study of all of the many end-time and future events described in the Scriptures.
		Eschatology actually transcends the scope of its theological sense, since it is not only the study of Biblically prophesied events of the end times - especially in relation to God's redemptive and judgmental work - but is also used in a pagan and metaphysical context for the studying of the times of Revelation.

		Preterism, also known as Covenant Eschatology or Realized Eschatology is a variant of Christian eschatology that holds that all the prophecies in the Bible about 'the Last Days' were fufilled in the first century (see Luke 21:20).

		Those that believe that most 'end times' prophecies have already been fulfilled but that the Second Coming, the bodily Resurrection of the dead and the Final Judgment are yet future call themselves Partial Preterists.

		As the discussion proceeded, however, it became evident that the theonomic thesis was actually somewhat more moderate, because (1) in their view, the Old Testament laws could not, and should not, be implemented in modern society until, through preaching of the gospel, those societies were dominated by regenerate people who loved Godâs law.
		Since most reconstructionists were postmillennial, they believed that one day Christianity would dominate human culture, but that that might not happen until many centuries into the future.
		One of those pretensions is their heredity and thus a Divine claim to "the land of their fathers." For the Christian theological pretensions should outweigh national and political advantages - whatever nation we reside in.

	Dispensational Fundamentalism
		- futurism, or pre-millennialism: a belief that the drama of the book of Revelation refers to a brief period of time at the end of this age.
		As early as 1580, a Jesuit priest, Francisco de Ribera, in a book that was a mixture of a-millennialism, historicism and futurism, first taught that the events contained in the book of Revelation were to take place during the three and a half year reign of the antichrist at the end of the age.
		John Nelson Darby (November 18, 1800 - April 29, 1882) developed and organized futurism into a system of prophetic teaching called dispensationalism and is claimed to have originated the secret rapture theory wherein Christ will remove his true believers from this world without warning.
