Eschatology

I believe that Jesus Christ will bodily return to rule on earth for a thousand years, that is in a premillennial return of Christ (Revelation 20:1-4). I believe that the return of Christ will be before the tribulation and is imminent in that it could come at any time. I recognize that the Bible speaks of the return of Christ both as coming without warning and as preceded by signs (Matthew 24). He will come as a thief in the night, but also as birth pains on a pregnant woman (1 Thessalonians 5:2,3).
