premillennial

Prior to thousand-year

Premillennial describes the belief that Christ's second coming will occur before a thousand-year reign of peace on Earth—the millennium described in the Book of Revelation.

Premillennialism holds that the world will worsen until Christ returns to establish his kingdom directly.

The term contrasts with postmillennial views, which expect Christ's return after human progress brings about the millennium.
