Worldly Eschatology vs Biblical Eschatology
Eschatology, broadly speaking, is the study of the last or final things. 1 This may be ascertained from its title, which is a combination of two Greek words: eschatos (last) + logos (word) = eschatology (words concerning the last things). 2 We may also consider that eschatology is a discussion of far more than just […]
The Critical Need for Wartime Eschatology
We may begin by admitting that eschatology is an oft-malnourished doctrine within many Christian circles. For some Christians, eschatology represents the uncomfortable specter of church squabbles regarding things such as the identity of the antichrist or the mark of the beast.

Grumbling and Judgement
