He has rescued us from the domain of darkness and transferred us into the kingdom of the Son He loves." - Colossians 1:12-13, HCSB

Incarnation & New Creation
Eschatology must submit to the story of Scripture and follow the story as it leads us to Christ. Too often eschatology (and theology in general) has abandoned the narrative of scripture. This can only lead to confusion and ultimately away from Christ.
Life Changing Eschatology
Just ask yourself, “How does your eschatology transform your daily living?” “Does it produce hope and boldness or fear?” “Are you acting as an ambassador of our reigning King?”
The Problem With "Pan"Millennialism
Christians proclaimed that the zenith of Israel's story was found in Christ while the Jews despised the implied accusation that they had so misread their own story as to crucify the Messiah. What we can learn from this is that the New Testament is not at odds with the Old Testament. In fact, it is the fulfillment of it. Therefore, without a comprehensive understanding of Israel's story laid out from Genesis to Malachi Christians are, in essence, depriving themselves of the foundation of their own faith.
Eschatology 101: Prophetic Language or Isaiah 13:9-13 (Part 5)
Therefore I will make the heavens tremble, and the earth will be shaken out of its place, at the wrath of the Lord of hosts in the day of his fierce anger. - Isaiah 13:13
The City of Tomorrow
We are not to lose hope because we are not to lose faith, and faith is the assurance of those things we are hoping for, the renewal of all things in Christ.
Eschatology 101: Prophetic Language or Psalm 104:1-4 (Part 4)
Bless the Lord, O my soul! O Lord my God, you are very great! You are clothed with splendor and majesty, covering yourself with light as with a garment, stretching out the heavens like a tent. He lays the beams of his chambers on the waters; he makes the clouds his chariot; he rides on the wings of the wind; he makes his messengers winds, his ministers a flaming fire. - Psalm 104:1-4
Eschatology 101: Prophetic Language or Psalm 97:1-5 (Part 3)
Since it would seem that Jesus and His disciples were familiar with the Psalms, we'll see what they tell us about the Biblical imagery Jews might have been familiar with. Today's we're going to begin to focus on the prophetic imagery within the book of Psalms.
Eschatology 101: Prophetic Language in Leviticus 18:24-30 (Part 2)
Today's passage might be a let down because it does not contain the type of language that we normally associate with "apocalypse language". That is partially because we don't understand what language type the prophets use in Scripture. And it is partially because even casual symbolism in the Old Testament can be dragged forward into the New Testament for prophetic purposes.
Eschatology 101: Prophetic Language (Part 1)
I'd like to step away from that for a moment and do a slower passage by passage look at prophetic language in the Old Testament. This isn't really meant to convince people as much as it is to help explain some of my thinking and hermeneutic.
