What are the 4 views of the end times?

For 2,000 years, Christians have tried to piece together what the Bible says about the end. 

A wide swath of orthodox interpretations are possible, and it’s easy to get confused by the different terms people use.

There are four main eschatological views, and each proposes a different take on three key aspects of the end of the world: the millennium, the binding of Satan, and the relationship between Israel and the Church:

1. Amillennialism

2. Postmillennialism

3. Historic premillennialism

4. Dispensationalism
