{{Main|Postmillennialism}}
In the postmillennialist view the millennium is seen as an indefinitely long time thus precluding literal interpretation of a thousand-year period. According to [[Loraine Boettner]] "the world will be Christianized, and the return of Christ will occur at the close of a long period of righteousness and peace, commonly called the millennium."<ref>{{cite book|last1=Boettner|first1=Loraine|title=The millennium|date=1984|publisher=Presbyterian and Reformed Pub. Co.|location=[Phillipsburg, N.J.]|isbn=978-0875521138|edition=[Rev. ed].}}</ref> Postmillennialists commonly view the rapture of the Church as one and the same event as the second coming of Christ. According to them the great tribulation was already fulfilled in the Jewish-Roman War of 66–73 AD that involved the destruction of Jerusalem.{{citation needed|date=May 2018}} Authors who have expressed support for this view include the Puritan author of ''Pilgrim's Progress'', John Bunyan, [[Jonathan Edwards (theologian)|Jonathan Edwards]] and [[Charles Finney]].
