===Amillennialist===
===Amillennialist===
[[Augustine]], the early Catholic theologian, created this concept as a result of his failure to try to fit the prophetical events of the Bible to the timeframe in which he lived. His disillusionment caused him to believe that when it came to prophecy, the Bible but be taken ''allegorically'' or ''symbolically'', rather than literally (he regarded the rest of the Bible as literal). The Kingdom of God was in men's hearts, he stressed, and not in an actual kingdom in which Christ will establish upon His return.

===Preterism===
The term "Preterist" essentially means "past", clarifying their views. The Preterists believe that many prophecies that [[Jesus]] mentioned were only fulfilled in the first century, especially during the destruction of the temple in 70 AD. The view can be categorized into two types of the theory: Radical Preterists and Partial Preterists. The Radical Preterists believe that the second coming has already occured and that we are awaiting the eternal state.
