Jewish Eschatology
September 23rd, 2008 | Armageddon | No Comment
Jewish eschatology is prophetically focused on
the Jewish Messiah, the resurrection and life
after death.
Bible eschatology mistakenly takes a sad turn
from proponents who view it as the final events
of human history. Rather, it is about the final
events of "Jewish covenantal history.
The rejection of Jesus Christ as the Messiah
in his first coming or incarnation as presented
in the New Testament demonstrates the confusion
that exists in Jewish eschatology.
Similar to it is the rejection of the imminent
first century "second coming" of Christ by
advocates of "Christian Eschatology. However,
the end results are the same.
Both look for a future destruction or terminus
of human history. Consider also that both

TIME ELEMENT OF BIBLE PROPHECY CONT.

Is it easier to believe that God a liar than it is to
believe these words are true? So, either way it goes,

that God is a liar, or you will believe that these words are
true. Please understand that your belief will not change the

words? It doesn't change that at all, now does ...
The Time Element of Bible Prophecy

The greatest problem some encounter when seeking
to understand the return of Christ may be one of
the easiest to resolve. It requires reading, faith
to believe and a little common sense.
What is the key that unlocks this door of difficulty?
"Time.” If this one factor were understood the
questions would quickly change from “when” is
the Lord coming to “how” did he come?
As long as the underlying fundamental of time is
understood and accepted, we have the framework
that can lead us to understanding “how.” If we
reject the element of “time” particularly “imminent”

Is 2012 the End of the World? Perhaps
since Christ made his predictions,
people continue to obsess about the end
of the world.
With the passing of the 20th century lies buried
in the heaps of dust, the failed prophecies of
prominent men who spoke and wrote convincing
tales of the end of the world.
They all were wrong and each passing minute
adds greater witness to their misguided predictions.
Must we suffer more of the same for the 21st century?
If you're reading this you're probably familiar
with the granddaddy of all failed predictions of
that past era, Hal Lindsey's mega seller, The
Late Great Planet Earth.
Well, "1988" was supposed to be ...
