Premillennialism

Also known as Dispensationalist Premillennialism.

A belief that the moral condition of the world is degenerating, which a period of great suffering will occur in the near future, which 'born again' believers will rise from the earth to be with Jesus, and that Jesus Christ will establish himself as king and start a 1,000 year period of peace.

Originally a Christian heresy in the early church, this belief is now promoted by most Evangelical Christians.
