Historicist: Views Christ's second coming as an ongoing spiritual event that occurs continually throughout history as He works in and through His Church. It emphasizes the manifestation of Christ's return through the triumph of His kingdom over spiritual forces of evil and the spread of His gospel. Amillennialism: Also sees Christ's second coming as a spiritual event but generally anticipates a future, final return of Christ that culminates in the consummation of His kingdom and the final judgment. It emphasizes the present reality of Christ's rule and the ongoing fulfillment of biblical prophecy in the Church.
