This differs from the most widely accepted view called premillennialism (the view that Christ’s second coming will occur prior to His millennial kingdom and that the millennial kingdom is a literal 1000-year reign) and from the less-widely accepted view called postmillennialism (the belief that Christ will return after Christians, not Christ Himself, have established the kingdom on this earth).
Hii hutofautiana zaidi sana kutoka kwa maoni yalikubaliwa na wengi yaitwayo premilenia (mtazamo kwamba kuja kwa Kristo mara ya pili kutatokea kabla ya ufalme wake wa milenia na kwamba ufalme wa milenia ni utawala halisi wa miaka 1000) na kutoka na maoni yasiyo kubalika sana yaitwayo postmillenia/baada ya miaka 1000 (imani kwamba Kristo atarudi baada ya Wakristo, si Kristo mwenyewe kuanzisha ufalme wake imara katika dunia hii).
