Can you say “es-kuh-TAHL-o-jee?”
As you probably know Eschatology is the
study of future events related to Bible
prophecy. Some may dismiss the idea of
studying Bible prophecy because it is too
difficult or con-troversial. However, if we
avoid learning the basics about prophecy,
we may be the victims of false teachers.
(Eph 4:14 KJV) That we henceforth be no
more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of
doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie
in wait to deceive. We must be armed with the truth and we should
know it for ourselves. The truth will set you free!
You might ask, “Is it really possible to
understand Bible prophecy?” The answer is,
“Yes.” God wrote the Bible for us to read
and understand. Paul stated in 1 Thes. 4:13
that we should not be ignorant about God’s
plans. God must consider prophecy important
as He put so much of it in the Bible. A proper
understanding of prophecy arms the believer
against cults and false prophets.
“Are these really the end times?” Yes, I believe we’re living in the last
days. Remember, the word “last” when used by the Bible is sometimes
an e-l-a-s-t-i-c term. We can see from the Scriptures the last days
started on the Day of Pentecost, some 2,000 years ago. You may know
the outpouring of the Holy Ghost on the Day of Pentecost was
prophesied in Joel 2:28-29. Joel said the outpouring would occur
afterward or in the last days. Peter confirms this truth in Acts 2:16. You
could accurately state we have been living in the last days for 2,000
years. I believe more correctly, we should state the outpouring was in
the beginning of the end of days and now we’re living at the ending of
the end of days.
I’ve started with the premise that this group of lessons is not for the
person with advanced studies on the subject. We’ll leave the advanced
studies to the theologians. If you’re such a person, you may get bored. I
attempt to explain myself clearly and sometimes reword a sentence to
make sure I’m understood.
I’ve written everything I know about Eschatology. Everything I’ve read in
books, heard in sermons and teachings on the subject, and everything I’
ve ever thought about for the past 35 years I've included. I may even
talk about this more than you want me to! And, we may disagree. Hey,
that’s okay too! I hope you’ll find this study informative, thought-
provoking, and inspirational. I trust Jesus’ soon return will become real
to you!
