Y'all might find this website interesting for an outline of differences in eschatology, end times and millennialism.

Many thanks for the resources, A-G! Believe it or not, your link was already on my "shortlist" for consideration. I was unhappy with the section on postmillennialism (far too narrow and inaccurate re it's origins and proponents IMO), which knocked it down the list. But I was also unhappy with it's narrow definition of Dispensational Premillennialism:

Dispensational Premillennialism contains an internal conflict. Its advocates generally believe "that the moral conditions of the world and the church are destined get increasingly worse. When they get almost unbearably bad, the Lord Jesus will return in the clouds to 'rapture' the living saints up to heaven."
I know historic premils who believe in the "worse and worse" view, and I now know others (blue-duncan being a good example of an alternate dispensationalist view) who don't. IMHO I'd be fighting too many battles over misinformation in the article, if I used it as the basis of a thread.

Oh, and it's gonna be "y'all" now, is it? Not "youse guys"?
