Historical premillennialists place the return of Christ just before the millennium and just after a time of great apostasy and tribulation. After the millennium, Satan will be loosed and Gog and Magog will rise against the kingdom of God; this will be immediately followed by the final judgment. While similar in some respects to the dispensational variety (in that they hold to Christ's return being previous the establishment of a thousand-year earthly reign), historical premillennialism differs in significant ways (notably in their method of interpreting Scripture). Features and Distinctions: Favored method of interpretation: grammatico-historical.Israel and the church: The church is the fulfillment of Israel.Kingdom of God: present through the Spirit since Pentecost - to be experienced by sight during the millennium after Christ's return.The Rapture: The saints, living and dead, shall meet the Lord in the clouds immediately preceding the millennial reign.The Millennium: Christ will return to institute a thousand-year reign on earth. The Millennium will see the re-establishment of temple worship and sacrifice as a remembrance of Christ's sacrifice.Major proponents: George Eldon Ladd, Walter Martin, John Warwick Montgomery, and Theodore Zahn. https://www.blueletterbible.org/faq/mill.cfm#hmilhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historic_premillennialism
