Who does the author of 2 & 3 John claim to be?

The elder

The rapture

Idealist

They believe Revelation is a symbolic description of the perpetual struggle between good and evil.

Futurist

They believe that most prophesies in Revelation will be fulfilled within a brief time directly before Christ's return

Amillennialism

They do not believe in a literal thousand-year reign. Instead, they focus on Christ's current dominion over sin and evil. There is no seven year tribulation. The church suffers now the effects of sin and Satan's evil. The redeemed will enjoy God's new heaven and new earth eternally. They teach that Jesus Christ fulfills the OT prophesies made to Israel.

Postmillennialism

They gravitate toward the promise that Christ's church will grow and prosper. God's saints are reigning with him currently. They believe a massive conversion will occur as Jesus draws all people to himself and creates a redeemed world, bringing about a time of peace and justice within society. At this point, the earth will enjoy the millennial kingdom of God, a thousand years of idyllic social and political life. After these years, Satan will make one last attempt to overthrow good with evil but will be thwarted by Christ's second coming and the Final judgement. Then God will establish the renewed earth. They do not expect the rapture or a seven year tribulation

Eclectic

They try to match hermeneutical approach with genre type.

Premillennialism

This view reads Revelation in four basic movements: the church age, the tribulation period, the millennial kingdom, and the final judgement culminating in the new heaven and earth. Currently, believers live in the church age who will be raptured either before or after a literal seven year tribulation, which ends in Armageddon
