	Eschatology
		In Zoroastrianism, Christianity, Rastafari, and in Norse pagan theology, eschatology is a theology concerning the end of the world, as predicted in the prophecies of these faiths, and as recorded in their sacred texts.
		The term eschatology is also used in a more popular sense as a synonym for the “science” behind the calculations to find out the timing of what many Christians believe to be the imminent second coming of Christ.
		Often myths of astrological origin, the concept of retribution, or the hope of deliverance from present oppressions provided the material or motive for highly developed eschatologies.

		Peculiar elements in Paul's eschatology are the doctrines of the Rapture of the Saints (1 Thess.
		Paul's eschatology is not free of obscurities and ambiguities; and in the New Testament eschatology generally we are forced to recognize a mixture of inherited Jewish and original Christian elements (see Antichrist).
		The primitive Christian eschatology was preserved in the West as it was not in the East, and in times of exceptional distress the expectation of Antichrist emerged again and again.

		In Christian theology, eschatology studies the conclusion of God's purposes, and therefore the concluding destiny of created things and especially of Man and of the Church, according to the purposes of God.
		Some Christian groups or sects teach that death and suffering caused by disease are in principle eliminated, and place the blame for their continuation in the human community on lack of faith or unbiblical diet or health practices.
		From a Christian point of view, this aforementioned proposed denial of the possibility of afterlife may be interpreted in a different manner: One might see it as a distinction between the "dead" and the "resurrected dead", rather than a denial of the afterlife.

	Eschatology - Center For Biblical Theology and Eschatology
		False eschatology is not an excuse to shun eschatology.
		For true Christianity is the hope of communion with God, an eschatology essential to sound Christian doctrine.
		Reformed Christianity in it's truest form rests upon the understanding that 'interpretations belong to God -gen. 40:8, 41:16.' Thus truth is discerned by the careful study of His Word in a Biblical and ordered manner.

	Radical Protestant Millenarianism
		Christian eschatology is fairly difficult to sort out; there are numerous references to events and principles of the end of time scattered throughout both the gospels and the letters of Paul of Tarsus.
		It was this eschatology which drove the Puritans to agitate politically in England in the seventeenth century, and, ultimately, to settle in America.
		When Ronald Reagan would refer to America as "the city on the hill," he is making reference to Christian eschatology (one of the events of the end of time will be the rebuilding of Jerusalem, the city on the hill) and promulgating the secularized millenial vision of America.

		The "consistent eschatology" of Johannes Weiss and Albert Schweitzer, the "realized eschatology" of C H Dodd and Rudolf Otto; the "dialectic eschatology" of Karl Barth and Rudolf Bultmann, and the "death of God" eschatology of Thomas J J Altizer and other radical theologians may represent the gamut of interpretation of the biblical concept.
		In Christian doctrine, eschatology has traditionally included the second advent of Christ, or Parousia, the resurrection of the dead, the last judgment, the immortality of the soul, concepts of heaven and hell, and the consummation of the kingdom of God.
		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.

	Christian Reconstructionism - dKosopedia
		It calls for Christian dominion over government and the enforcement of the general principles of Old Testament Mosiac law, as expounded in the case laws and summarized in the Decalogue.
		Christian Reconstructionism is closely related, perhaps indistinguishable, from Dominionism, and is based on the ideas of Theonomy (the establishment of "God's law" in the civil order) and Dominion Theology.
		Christian Reconstructionists generally hold to a form of Postmillennial Eschatology, though the distinctive tenets of the movement (generally referred to as Theonomic Ethics or Theonomy) are purported to be compatible with other eschatological viewpoints.

	Eschatology and Excess
		Eschatology, the study of last things or of the end times, is near and dear to many Christians’ hearts.
		For such Christians, not only is the future return of Christ fundamental to their faith (rightly so), but their understanding of the details surrounding that return is likewise, to them, fundamental.
		Even when their understanding differ, Christians need to remember that they are still brothers and sisters in Christ, and that having differing opinions of how to interpret the details of end-times prophecy is not a sufficient reason for division in the Body of Christ.

	Eschatology and the Future of the Church
		Christian religion began to be seen as civilization's sink hole.
		The application of eschatology could not only change the way we prepare our youth to practice their professions, it could also reform our seminaries and Bible colleges, with "church futures" being given equal time with "church history" as a way to discern what God is doing in the world.
		A new eschatology can further inspire this outward movement and remind new generations that the Lord reigns and earth is just his footstool.

		For those unfamiliar with Christian eschatology, the ‘Rapture’; is the bodily transportation of Christians to heaven.
		Evangelical Christians believe that in the near future all devout, born-again Christians will be whisked off to heaven, leaving behind piles of clothes and jewellery—and a lot of bemused unbelievers and sinners who will endure the ‘Tribulation’;, a period marked by war, massive death and destruction, and the rise of the Anti-Christ.
		Christian eschatology understands the church to stand at the very center of God's redemptive activity, a foretaste of true freedom.

	Eschatology
		In Christian eschatology, the universe is a finite place temporally, that is, the history of creation has a beginning and a definite end.
		The early Christians eventually theorized that the end of history meant the end of time itself so that all change and duration would come to an end once evil is vanquished and the universe is properly disposed.
		When the Christian eschatological world view is applied to history, all meaning and value in history is located in the end of time, that is, all history, whether it be the history of nations or the history of an individual, is read as future-directed.

	Eschatology - SkepticWiki (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Eschatology is a philosophical or religious system concerned with the end of time, the end of the world, or the end of the current age.
		Christian eschatology is mainly derived from the Bible, especially from the Gospels and the Book of Revelation, the Pauline epistles and the old testament prophecies of the books of Daniel, Isaiah, and Ezekiel.
		It seems that as early as the third century, mainstream Christianity de-emphasized the importance and imminence of the end of the world, stressing instead the need for individuals to prepare for their own personal destiny.

		In effect, some Christians, misreading Matthew 24 and other passages, concluded that the nation of Israel HAD to be established, a new Temple rebuilt and for the new nation then to undergo persecution and tribulation BEFORE Jesus could return.
		Perhaps this is the reason why Christians would rather not think through this issue; the Jews have suffered terribly during the past two thousand years, first by the Romans, then under certain “Christian” princes and finally, monstrously during the Nazi holocaust.
		Christians who already BELIEVED we were living in the “last days” asserted that the nation of Israel needed to be reestablished before the Lord could return.
