eschatology

Hello folks. I am not into end times studies (Catholic guy here), nor do I think the world will come to an end this decade as many people here tend to believe in. It may come to an end in 2040 as a river in Iraq may run dry due to human induced global warming (source 1.1 & 1.2), or it may end in...

What started as a short reply to our pious and reverend Presbyter @ArmyMatt unleashed something of a can of worms in my mind as I realized it crossed the nexus of several areas of theological study I have been focused on for the past decade, resulting in a voluminous post that was only...

When asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, Jesus replied, “The kingdom of God will not come with observable signs. 21Nor will people say, ‘Look, here it is,’ or ‘There it is.’ For you see, the kingdom of God is in your midst.d” 22Then He said to the disciples, “The time is...

The Eschatological viewpoints that are offered as poll options are derived from the Eschatology Forum Statement of Purpose. So if you are confused about which one you believe, consulting that topic may be helpful. As for me, I believe in Pre-tribulation - Futurism above because of Mark 13:32...

Why is it that the destruction of the temple is seen as the abomination of desolation when the Bar Kokhba revolt seems to line up as a better candidate? It mirrors Antiochus Epiphanes far closer than the first revolt as it even includes Hadrian ordering a temple to Jupiter being built on the...

Psalm 26 8 Lord, I love the house where you live, the place where your glory dwells. Tell me about this place. What do we know? What can we know at present about it?

Obviously, Eschatological/End Times issues are a concern to many of us who are Christians. But which sources on these issues are most pertinent, I wonder? Out of the following list of books on these issues, which of these in your view do you think I should keep and which ones should I ignore...

1. Futurism is built on obviously wrong method: Beginning with the figurative language, interpreting it and changing plain words and meanings to fit the interpretation. 2. Futurists do not understand that the prophetic language is frequently not literal, but figurative. 3. All predictions of...

I'll keep this OP on a simple level. Here's our target: Revelation 13:18 18 This calls for wisdom. Let the person who has insight calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. That number is 666. Christians have been attempting to decipher the meaning of Revelation 13:18...

So leading up to my Question, I need to layout some principles: In II Timothy 3, there is a simple formula to determine which books are scripture and which books are not. It has a simple God given checklist of five blocks: able to make wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ...

What would Christian Eschatology look like if you did not include any of the New Testament, but only had the Old Testament to work with? Essentially, what were the Eschatology beliefs held by God's people right before Jesus came? If you do know, please fill me in! If you don't know, give an...

Hello! I was wondering if any full preterists were on this site. I made the following thread the other day: How do full preterists interpret these passages? My hope is that I can discuss the passages in the link above with full preterists. If there aren't any on this site, does anyone know of...

Though not a Catholic, as an Anglican I consider myself in continuity with the Catholic community, via apostolic succession and shared creeds and history. I am hoping this is the right place to ask my questions and get Catholic answers. Is there a distinctive Catholic Eschatology and how can...

"And I saw a beast coming out of the sea. He had ten horns and seven heads with ten crowns on his horns and on each head a blasphemous name." Rev 13v1 Why is it, after nearly 2000yrs of the book of Revelation, that nobody has yet worked this passage out? Personally I think that they have...

In all of scripture - God's warnings, rightly understood, were given to spare people some dire consequence. So then this is about people ignoring that warning and then experiencing the event being warned about, where you need the information God gives to come out on the right side of...

Hi there, So this is a fresh revelation, for me, that Jesus actually needs the opportunity to be interested in You - He made You, so for Him to have a relationship is something of first importance to Him, but more than that, it is a relationship that He desires to be invested in: Jesus actually...
