Amillennialism is the eschatological view that sees the "thousand years" in Revelation 20 as symbolizing the present church age—the era of gospel proclamation from Christ's first coming to His second—during which Christ reigns spiritually from heaven with His people (including departed saints), Satan is bound in a way that limits his ability to deceive the nations wholesale (enabling worldwide gospel advance), and the kingdom is already inaugurated but awaits full consummation at Christ's return, with no intervening literal earthly millennium. Amillennarians are, then, 'present-millennarians.'" . The "now and not yet" eschatology.
