The Beginning of the World - Christian Eschatology: We're often asked, what is left for us if Christ has come? Where is our hope? Is this all we get? How much more ungrateful, simplistic and narrow a viewpoint can this be? That's not to say the questions are not honest, but they do lack just bit of depth in thought.
What do we have now that Christ has come? How about everything, including the world? Is that enough? "Therefore, let no one boast in men. For all things are yours: whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas, or ...

Eschatology: Study of the End Times
The first time I heard the world eschatology, I
thought, es-ka-what-ology? That was more
than two decades ago.
In this post, we’ll talk about Eschatology in
Bible Prophecy, Can We Understand It? But
first things first, and number one on the
agenda is a working definition.
Before we get to the “technical” issues, let
me share my journey with you, —briefly. I
learned this subject by simply reading the
text, particularly from Luke chapter 21:20–22.
Those verses literally changed my world on end times studies in more ways than this brief space allows. Suffice it to say, that the direction it pointed was 180 degrees ...

From Fear and Fascination to Faith and Facts
My first encounter with the book of Revelation was fear. Who didn’t get a few chills running down their spine about the number 666, the
“mark of the beast,” the seven plagues and this dramatic portrayal of the endtime? That fear kept me from wanting to know more about
this book, though I was drawn to it.
Then I stumbled across a study that made an intelligent versus fanciful media-hyped approach to the book. It addressed Revelation as a codedmessage, but written to the first century church who were part of its history and time. That ...
Can Matthew 24 Be Divided-2?
December 6th, 2008 | Eschatology | 1 Comment
In part one of this study, we looked
at two arguments offered by futurists
on the question of can Matthew 24
be divided?
In this segment we’’ll discuss another
popular argument. It is based on
verse 36, particularly styled the
“that day” argument.
Those who advance it say that
Jesus spoke of “those days”
when discussing Jerusalem’s fall.
However, when he spoke of his
Parousia, or coming, he spoke of
“that day.”
This to futurists, amillennialists,
dispensationalists and even some
partial presterists is believed to be
a solid argument for a different comng.
Our approaching in this writing will
consider the parallel texts in Luke 17
We are given clear examples of how
to interpret passages using “those days”
and “that day” in ...
