Premillennialism predominant; some amillennial or postmillennial views present

Non-denominational evangelical churches display significant diversity on Revelation 20:1-6. Dispensational premillennialism is most common, but amillennial and postmillennial views are also held.

This diversity is not treated as a dividing issue. The belief in Christ's literal return and the final judgment is universal; debate centers on the timing and manner of these events.
