[aw’-mih-len‘-ee-uh-liz’-um]

(Latin a-, “before” + Latin mille, “thousand” + Latin annum, “years”)

or Inaugurated Millennialism

A particular view of Christian eschatology that teaches the Kingdom of God was inaugurated at Pentecost and will conclude at Christ’s Second Coming. Unlike premillennialism, the amillennial view asserts there will not be an established period in which Christ “physically” reigns upon the Earth. Rather, He reigns as King in Heaven at the right hand of the Father through his established church. The most notable early church father to accept [and systematize] this position was St. Augustine.
