Arlene,
I'm thinking that most of the people who post letters to FiveDoves are pre-millennial, those who believe that the second coming of Jesus Christ will occur "before" the thousand year kingdom. The ancient term for those who believe this was chiliasts, which was from the Greek word for thousand, which appeared six times in Revelation 20:2-7. Another view, a-millennial, well described by Augustine, was the dominant view of most of the church over the past twenty centuries, is that there will not be a thousand year kingdom, but that it is a continual kingdom, as codified in the Nicene creed as, "whose kingdom shall have no end". Then the third view, post-millennial, believe that the second coming of Jesus Christ will occur after the kingdom has been established by the church.
The reason I mention that, is because the post-millennialists have a completely different answer as to the purpose of the kingdom, that the church is to gradually subdue the world, promoting and establishing the kingdom, so that Jesus can say well done when he returns. The a-millennialists believe that the kingdom has and will continue all these years, and that when the Lord returns we enter into the eternal state. So for the a-millennialists, like the post-millennialists also, the kingdom, now, is primarily related to the church.
I needed to first mention those two, because many pre-millennialists believe that when Jesus comes back and establishes the kingdom, that it will be primarily Israel related, even though the bride is with her bridegroom, ruling and reigning with Christ during that Kingdom, where Jesus is on the throne of David, in Jerusalem, ruling over all the earth, where Israel is the head nation of the world.
Therefore, the a-millennialists and post-millennialists tend towards replacement theology, where the church replaces Israel, and that the old testament kingdom promises given to Israel, are transferred to the church during this present time. Conversely, the millennialists believe that the promises to Israel will still be honored, and that the LORD is not finished with Israel, that he will keep those kingdom promises to Israel, including the building of Ezekiel's millennial temple.
