Covenant Eschatology
A synonym for Preterism. This title emphasizes the Covenantal nature of Preterism. Preterism sees prophecy as covenantal not cosmological. For an outline to Covenant Eschatology click here (this will open a new page).
Dispensationalism
The belief that since Creation God has related to the world in a series of seven administrations called Dispensations. Dispensationalism teaches that the final dispensation is a 1000 year period on the earth (commonly called the Millennium) during which Jesus will rule on a physical throne from Jerusalem. Prior to the introduction of the seventh dispensation Dispensationalists teach that the Rapture of the Church and the Great Tribulation must occur.
Great Tribulation, Tribulation, Jacob's Trouble
Many definitions exist for this period. Dispensationalists teach that it will be a future seven year period accommodating Daniel's 70th week of prophecy. Preterists believe that this period was fulfilled by AD70. A common Preterist position is that the last part of the seven year period was fulfilled at the destruction of Jerusalem. Some Partial Preterists teach that Daniels' last half week was fulfilled by the stoning of Stephen.
Millenium
The word itself means 1000 years but in theological terms it has come to refer to the "Thousand Years" referred to in Revelation 20. Some (mostly Dispensationalists) see the Revelation 20 Millenium as a literal 1000 years. Most others see this period as a figure of the Church Age while others see it referring to a period or periods leading up to the end of the Old Covenant Age in AD70.
Preterist
Someone who believes Prophecy has been fulfilled
Preterism
Preterism is a variant of Christian eschatology which deals with the position of past-fulfillment of the Last Days (or End Times) prophecies in varying degrees. The term preterism is derived from the word preterite, or past perfect tense; it also has its roots in the Latin word pręter, meaning "past." Adherents of Preterism are known as Preterists.

Partial Preterist
Someone who believes most Prophecy has been fulfilled. Generally Partial Preterists believe in a final cataclysm that will destroy the natural creation
Rapture
Dispensationalists teach that the Church (All Christians) will be caught up from the earth in an instant without warning. Most dispensationalists believe that this event will occur at the beginning of the Great Tribulation. Some teach that it will occur at the midpoint or the end of the Great Tribulation

The Rapture
The Rapture was first taught in the mid 1800's. In the 1970's it reached its greatest acceptance worldwide. Today however, as a result of diligent study of the Bible fewer and fewer Christians teach the Rapture.
There is a move of God in eschatology underway today!
