How do we understand eschatology versus teleology? Eschatology focuses on the end of prophetic events. It relates to what is temporal. The word means the study of last things. In this definition, the judgment, the resurrection, the parousia, and the end of the world comes to mind.

Teleology is the study of ultimate purpose or design. To help one understand the difference, you may ask? What is the ultimate pupose of bringing all things to an end? The answer to that question is teleological.

For some, eschatology means an end to time, life on the planet, and opportunities for salvation. This view fails to understand both (more…)

Dispensationalism: Was the church an accident
for Christ’s failure to establish the kingdom?

The theology that teaches that Christ postponed
the kingdom and yet await its establishment at the
millennium is what’s known as Dispensationalism.

It is a rather recent teaching (past 200 years) in the
area of eschatology (study of last things) which
includes the second coming and its related events.

We believe that Dispensationalism errs by charging God with failure to keep his promise regarding the imminent (from a first century perspective)

Eschatology: Study of the Endtimes

What is the most simple way to put a jig-saw
puzzle together? For me, I like to take the
straight edge pieces of the border first.

Doing it in this manner gives helps me
to know one critical thing about all the
remaining pieces of the puzzle. They
fit within the border.

There are four additional studies in
this series, “Eschatology – How and

Seven Clues to Mystery Babylon in Revelation


Jerusalem Old City from Mount of Olives.

Mystery Babylon

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 coded (more…)

When Was the Law of Moses Fulfilled?

Law of Moses

1n 1993, several articles were published on
Eschatology – When Was the Law of Moses
Fulfilled?,
and were designed to clarify issues
related to that question.

Today, it yet remains a problem that many
are challenged by what the Scriptures teach
on this subject.

For this reason, we have decided to revise
and present more information on those
articles to assist others who may not have access to that material. We

Eschatology - the Rainbow

As we continue this study, Have Heaven
Heaven and Earth Passed?, Part 2
, the reader
is urged to consider part 1 of this triad.

We established the non-destruction of the
material heaven and earth per part one.
Here, we further examine the use of language
describing the end of the Old Covenant World.

The Psalmist takes up the question of the
non-permanent status of the Jewish world.

In Psalms 102:25–27, David, spoke not of the end of the planet for reasons stated in segment one of this study, (See Have Heaven and  Earth Passed, Part 1) but of the end of the Jewish age or covenantal (more…)

Schlomo Zand is a professor of history at Tel Aviv
University in Israel. His book “When and How Was

So Why is Zionist-Israel in an Uproar Over a Book by
Schlomo Zand?
He argues that new facts have
emerged which “face any honest historian with
fundamental questions.”

What Zand argues are facts which support those already stated in the New Testament. Whether one accepts (more…)

Prophecy in the Apocalypse: What Is the Meaning of Revelation 1:7?


The Destruction of Jerusalem by Titus

AllThingsFulfilled.Com

The key to successful interpretation of Bible
prophecy in the New Testament is to always
find it’s source in the Old Testament to unlock
the meaning.

That was the method of the Christ and the
apostles. Prophecy in the Apocalypse: What
is the meaning of Revelation 1:7?,
explores
those concepts.

Failure to follow this simple interpretive guideline
leads to unbelief, frustration and all sorts of
fanciful interpretations and doctrines.

Most people pick up the Book of Revelation because of their fascination with prophecy and intrigue for the signs and symbols within. Immediately they assume a posture of predicting the future. Current events,
