Historical Premillennialism is greatly misunderstood today with the growing popularity of the post-trib rapture view. Many people think that Historic Premill is nothing more than simply post-trib rapturism. But this is not true. Historic Premill has most often been associated with a covenantal view of history and an historicist interpretation of Revelation, or at least historically that is the case. The millennium is not viewed in Historic Premill as a time where Jesus sits on a literal throne in Jerusalem with the Jews higher on Jesus' agenda than the church. It is simply a time of general peace upon the earth for a 1,000 years. Progressive Dispensationalism still holds the distinction between Israel and the church, although it adopts somewhat of an already/not yet view of the Kingdom in which the Kingdom currently has application today, but will have a greater fulfillment when the nation of Israel is converted. These are the things that I gleaned from the Progressive Dispies at Liberty U when I was there.
