| | Eschatology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Eschatology (from the Greek έσχατος meaning "last" + -logy) is a part of theology and philosophy concerned with the final events in the history of the world or the ultimate destiny of human kind, commonly phrased as the end of the world. | | | Not only will the gods, giants, and monsters perish in this apocalyptic conflagration, but almost everything in the universe will be torn asunder. | | | Saint Augustine has been one of the most famous eschatological thinkers, followed by Hegel's philosophy of history, and, some have argued Marxists – as a secular religion. |

| | Eschatology may therefore denote the consummation of God's purpose whether it coincides with the end of the world (or of history) or not, whether the consummation is totally final or marks a stage in the unfolding pattern of his purpose. | | | World Eschatology in the OT The day of Yahweh in early Israel was the day when Yahweh would publicly vindicate himself and his people. | | | The end of history in Western religions, however, is not a cyclical return to a primordial world outside history as it is in the eschatologies of non Western religions, such as Buddhism and Hinduism. |

| | What is Christian Eschatology? |
| | Eschatology helps us to understand the Bible's prophetic passages, and how to live our lives in respond to what God is going to do in the end times. | | | Answer: Eschatology is the study of what the Bible says is going to happen in the end times. | | | A key verse on Eschatology is Titus 2:13, "while we wait for the blessed hope - the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ." |

| | Below is a bullet-point summary of the doctrine of end-times eschatology in church history. | | | Individual eschatology primarily addresses the fate of a person after he or she dies. | | | End-times eschatology, though, usually deals with issues related to the end of the present world order such as the return of Jesus Christ, the rise of Anti-Christ, the tribulation period, and the millennium. |

| | Eschatology |
| | In Christian eschatology, the universe is a finite place temporally, that is, the history of creation has a beginning and a definite end. | | | Eschatology is the religious study of the end of the world (Greek: eschatos : end, logos : meaning, study, reason); most, but not all, religions narrate human history as oriented in some way towards an end point. | | | Some religions, such as Zoroastrianism, Christianity and Islam, are more or less characterized as eschatological religions, that is, these religions see the purpose and meaning of history as oriented towards some end point. |

| | An Eschatology of Grace |
| | The medieval church had plunged eschatology into the gloomy shadows of its gospel of salvation by the will, works, and worth of man. It taught the people to view their death and the coming of Christ for judgment as divine reckoning on the basis of their own works and worthiness. | | | Not only did the Reformation put all of eschatology under the sign of grace, but it also made eschatology, that is, the second coming of Christ, the goal of the life of the Christian and of the history of the church. | | | Not this life with its trinkets and pleasures, not the dream-world of an earthly millennium, but the resurrection of the body at the coming of Christ must be the one, lively, steady, intense purpose of every Christian and of the church. |
