Postmillennialism around Christian eschatology is an interpretation of chapter 20 of the Book of Revelation which sees Christ's second coming as occuring after or even post- a thousand season "millennium".

Although a bit of postmillennialists hang on to to a literal millennium of 1,000 years, virtually all postmillennialists look at the k years thomwhen more as nonliteral term for an extended period (similar there to Amillennialism). Among people holding to the non-literal "millennium" these are unremarkably understood to develop already begun, which implies the less visible & less striking sort of millennium than that occasionally envisioned by premillennialists, as well as a further unexpected link to of Christ.

Postmillennialism too teaches that a forces of Satan will gradually exist as defeated per expansion of the Kingdom of God throughout history up until a second coming of Christ. This belief that proficient may bit by bit triumph on top evil has lead advocator of postmillennialism to label themselves "optimillennialists" within counterpoint to "pessimillennial" Premillennialists and Amillennialists.

An significant distinction should become manufactured inside Postmillennialism to distinguish between Revivalist Postmillennialism (also Pietistic Postmillennialism) & Reconstructionist Postmillennialism. Revivalist Postmillennialism doesn't require the theocratic outlook on socio-political life in the way that Reconstructionist Postmillennialism does. Revivalist Postmillennialism understands that Christians should vary society from either a bottom higher (humans's hearts & minds) like than from either a top down (society's political & legal institutions) when inside Reconstructionist Postmillennialism.

In the United States, the virtually all large & organised forms of postmillennialism come according to Christian Reconstructionism and hold to Reconstructionist Postmillennialism (See Gary North, Kenneth Gentry, Greg Bahnsen) Christian Reconstructionism is closely linked to Theonomy which has it's roots in Dominion Theology, a theocratic form of Dominionism.

Postmillennialism sub counterpoint sustaining Premillennialism and Amillennialism.
