Eschatology: Understanding the End Times

Everybody has a form of eschatology—beliefs about their future or the world ’s. For some, eschatology brings despair because everything ends in death—including the individual and the universe. Some have a vague hope of the afterlife. For Christians, they should have a certain hope because God has laid out his plan for the end times in Scripture. He reveals these things to teach his saints about his glory and control over history, to encourage them in uncertain times, and to equip them for good works, among other things. For these reasons, we should not neglect eschatology but instead study it enthusiastically. Let’s learn about eschatology together with The Bible Teacher’s Guide.
