ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Amillennialism

Amillennialism is a big word that describes a belief about what will happen in the future.

Remember how your parents say that one day you will grow up and have a job, a house, and a family? Well, some people think that in the future Jesus will come back to Earth and everything will be perfect forever.

But amillennialists don't think that. They don't believe that there will be a perfect time on Earth. They think that there will always be good and bad things happening at the same time, just like it is now.

They believe that Jesus is ruling in heaven and will come back someday to end everything and take people to heaven. But until then, the world will have its ups and downs.

So, amillennialists believe that there won't be a time on Earth when everything is completely perfect. They think that there will always be good and bad things happening at the same time. But they believe that at least one day everything will finally be perfect when everyone is in heaven.
