	War and Eschatology
		All the Christian faith-confessions have their own eschatological aspect, all the theological tracts have their eschatological chapters, although the eschatologies tend to be shoved off to the background.
		This eschatological moment is sensed with an especial alacrity during catastrophic eras, during the wars, during the revolutions, during the crises of civilisation.
		I am convinced, that at the basis of all the reactionary dispositions, in asserting an eschatological pessimism, there lies a lack of desire that the truth should be realised, an aversion to that man should move forward and upwards, that in human life there should be a greater freedom, justice, humanness.

	Resources for Christian Theology - Towards an Eschatological Ontology (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		In the case of an eschatological ontology the O decides the truth of the A; it is the criterion of the ontological truth of whatever has had a beginning.
		The eschatological character of the Eucharist constitutes the reason why in the early Church all sacramental acts were liturgically connected with the eucharistic celebration.
		Eschatological ontology, therefore, is about the liberation of being from necessity, it is about the formation of being.

	The Religious Situation
		This form of eschatological gospel is particularly effective in the case of men who neither find saving powers in the finite nor expect a coming salvation in its sphere, but who lack the religious ability to recognize the actual transcendence of the eternal and who therefore hope for a temporal, visually conceived, final catastrophe.
		Eschatological hopes are religiously important only when they appear in union with religiously creative forces as in the New Testament period, for instance.
		The only kind of eschatological movement which can be superior to that spirit must be a movement which does not have regard to itself but which looks to the eternal toward which it is directed, which is, therefore, truly free and free also for the masses.

		The precious elements of eschatological truth contained in the Egyptian religion were associated with error and superstition, and were unable to save the religion from sinking to the state of utter degeneration in which it is found at the approach of the Christian Era.
		The eschatological summary which speaks of the "four last things" (death, judgment, heaven, and hell) is popular rather than scientific.

	Nitzan: Concept of the Covenant
		The hope for the eschatological renewal of the covenant between God and Israel, as formulated by Jeremiah (31:30-33) and Ezekiel (36:24-28; 37:23-28), was based on the aforementioned principles of continuity and renewal.
		However, both prophets emphasi zed the eternity of the eschatological covenant, as opposed to the earlier covenants between God and Israel, which were repeatedly broken due to the transgressions of Israel (Jer 31:31).
		In Qu mran, the utopian promised characteristic of the eschatological continuity and the renewal of the covenant between God and Israel as an eternal covenant became a practical renewal, adapting the biblical covenant to the new circumstantial practice of speci fic interpretation of the Law of Moses as revealed among the community.

		While Johns Apoca~1ypse is distinctly eschatological, the Epistles and the Gospels often give these conceptions an ethical and spiritual import, without, however, excluding the eschatological.
		While Irenaeus held fast the traditional eschatological beliefs, yet his conception of the Christian salvation as a deification of man tended to weaken their hold on Christian thought.

		The eschatological character of the community is indicated by its judicial function, which is connected with the extirpation of iniquity.
		The eschatological character of the teacher's revelations may be indicated by the reference to "the vision of knowledge" and the use of an eschatological interpretation of Isaiah 52-53 which attributed judicial functions to the teacher.
		Eschatological instruction is more prominent in 1 Enoch than is legal and ethical instruction, and therefore one finds major parts of this text expressed in prophetic forms and idiom.

	l e a r n @ j t s READING OPPORTUNITIES Sacred Fragments Chapter 10 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		From that time on, all eschatological scenarios envisioned the end of the exile, the restoration of Israel's sovereignty, and the rebuilding of the Temple as preconditions for the universal redemption to follow.
		Once the eschatological scenario is liberated from historical time and from the conditions of this familiar world, it also becomes possible to free the destiny of the individual human being from the limitations of the grave.
		The tone of Isaiah's eschatological "day of the Lord" (2:2-4, 11:1-10) is notably more subdued than in Amos, and the eschatological scenario seems to evolve naturally and progressively out of the current state of affairs, as part of the natural course of history.

	WESLEYAN RESERVATIONS ABOUT ESCHATOLOGICAL "ENTHUSIASM"
		These eschatological enthusiasts stimulated opposition to "Christian perfection." Wesley's concern for protecting and promulgating this doctrine of perfection may provide a key for understanding his reservations about eschatological fervor.
		Eschatological anticipations of a divinely-ordained closure to the processes of history seem to exist in tension with, if not contradiction to, the Biblical doctrine of creation as offered in Genesis.
		On the other hand, whatever eschatological fulfillment of creation Wesleyans might envision is only coherent and consistent with the first two points if it upholds an eschatological perfection of love, which seems inevitably to imply a continuing situation of glorious freedom and responsibility.

	Unique Eschatological Interface, A (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Most religions, if not all, develop future-oriented “visions of the end.” In such eschatological dramas, cosmology is applied to the future, and these prophecies, often modelled on past events, may be regarded as a kind of projected or inverse history.
		Taking each eschatological association separately, Bahá’u’lláh proclaimed himself to be four messianic figures, correlative of course to the four religious traditions which then predominated in nineteenth-century Persia.
		Through these specific eschatological bridges, built to appeal to various apocalyptic traditions, potential converts were enabled to make the crucial connexion of faith between Bahá’u’lláh and an expected deliverer foretold in prophecy.

	Response to D. A. Carson
		There is an explicitly eschatological sense to the Matthean usage of pleroo throughout his gospel, and it would appear to be extreme special pleading to make Mt 5:17 the sole exception to this rule.
		For Carson thinks his extension of the eschatological meaning of pleroo to Jesus’ ethical teachings should be taken seriously precisely because it gives ‘unity’ to the interpretation of the antitheses: "a unifying approach to the antitheses is possible in the light of our exegesis of vv.

	The Sabbath as an Eschatological Sign of the Covenant (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Because the seventh-day Sabbath was a covenantal sign of the eschatological advancement offered to Adam in the covenant of works, it would not have been appropriate for the people of God after the fall to observe the Sabbath until the works principle is re-enacted on the typological layer of Israel's retention of the land.
		The Puritan view fails to recognize the eschatological significance of the Sabbath, and thus is blind to the dramatic changes that of necessity occur when that eschatology reaches its definitive fulfillment in Christ.
		Kline views the Sabbath as an eschatological "stamp." Whatever you rest from becomes stamped with the label "heaven-bound." In a theocracy, both cult and culture are holy, heaven-bound, destined for eschatological consummation (of course, in the Mosaic theocracy, this destination was typological only - in contrast with the pre-fall theocratic order).

		Therefore, posttribbers contend that the eschatological Day of the Lord follows the period called "the great tribulation" that occurs at the beginning of the second half of the Seventieth Week.
		The Prewrath position acknowledges that the eschatological Day of the Lord will be signaled by a sign given in the sun, moon, and stars, a sign distinctly described in the eschatological book of Joel.

	The Eschatological Mastery of the World
		It may be asked, “What is eschatology?” When I speak of that which is eschatological, I mean seeing all of life through a lense “pertaining to the last or final things.” It is a theological concept which the Gospel cannot do without.
		To live in a state of eschatological mastery over the world is to know the tendencies of the world and of yourself.
		The eschatological mastery of the world through the joy of the Lord is a most powerful adversary against the wickedness of the world, the flesh, and the devil.

	PIETIST INFLUENCES IN THE ESCHATOLOGICAL THOUGHT OF JOHN WESLEY AND JORGEN MOLTMANN
		The intent of this study is to provide a historical and theological context for the treatment of the eschatological thought of John Wesley and Jurgen Moltmann by examining their respective uses of sources from the continental Pietism of the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries.
		The goal is to demonstrate that the relative place of eschatological thought in our subjects can be more precisely delineated by considering the influence of Pietistic motifs in their respective work.
		Bengel's eschatological focus is located primarily within the text of Scripture itself, which he interprets according to his symbolic-prophetic method of exposition.

	The Holy Spirit and Eschatology (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		The synoptic gospels have relatively few references to the Spirit, but their eschatological significance can be seen once we recognize that the kingdom proclaimed by Jesus is an eschatological entity, already present (as well as still in the future) in his person and work.
		But while the Reformation and its children have grasped, at least intuitively, the eschatological thrust of the gospel for justification, that is not nearly the case for sanctification and the work of the Spirit.
		Despite the divergence of opinion among commentators and the ambivalence of some, the reference of 'heaven' and 'heavenly' on the one side of the contrast in verses 47-49, is almost certainly to the exaltation (not, say, to Christ's pre-existence or his incarnation).

	James and the Expectation of an Eschatological Priest (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Ward has called attention to a plurality of lines of development or trajectories in the traditions about James.(25) I suggest that there is reason to suppose that two of these elements in the James stories—the priestly and the messianic—may be closely related.
		Once such an identification was made, with the passage of time it would be almost inevitable that Jews who had looked for an eschatological priest before becoming Christian would begin to see the details of this expectation fulfilled in the person and activities of the one they recognized as the Christian priestly messianic accompaniment.
		I propose that the expectation of the coming of an eschatological priestly figure within some segments of first-century Judaism provided the stimulus and framework for the development of some of these traditions and legends about James.

	Adventist Review: Sabbath Questions
		That's why there is not a detailed discussion on the nature of the rest God offered His people in the past but is still available "today." It also clarifies the emphasis found throughout Hebrews 4 on the problem of unbelief and disobedience and the need for diligence in the Christian life.
		The passage is not a theological exposition of the typological fulfillment of the Sabbath, or of the nature of the Sabbath, or of the eschatological rest.
		This suggests that for the author of Hebrews the theology of the Sabbath was so meaningful that he utilized it to interpret God's eschatological rest.

		Thus, in the realm of eschatological salvation, the existential distinction between life and death is overcome in and with Christ, for as Paul himself states elsewhere: "Both in life and death we are the Lord’s" (Rom.
		This eschatological communion is centered, above all, on the mysterious effects of the redemptive death and resurrection of Christ in the life of believers.
		The eschatological "time" of Christian life, then, is situated between the resurrection of Christ (as the terminus a quo) and the resurrection of our mortal bodies (as the terminus ad quem) and is regulated by the Spirit of the resurrection now present in us through faith (Gal.

		My final reason for saying that the LP is not an eschatological prayer is that upon examination, the petitions do not show the particular eschatological thrust that they are claimed to possess.
		Surely, the eschatologists argue, this petition stands as conclusive proof that for Matthew and Luke the LP is an eschatological prayer.
		In the light of all this, the eschatological interpretation of Matthew 6:10a//Luke 11:2c seems forced.

		The eschatological period of divine judgment preceding the time of national Jewish redemption and the establishment of God's kingdom on earth is known as the Tribulation period.
		This concept was part of Jesus' eschatological teaching and was a frequent theme of the apostles and the early church.
		According to this interpretation, just as the eschatological expectation of tribulation was fulfilled in Christ's sufferings, so that of eschatological salvation (the general resurrection) was inaugurated with Christ's resurrection.

		The use and significance of the symbol are expanded in 4:1-42 and 7:37-39, where it plays a double role, sometimes standing for the old rites and sometimes standing for the eschatological blessings of Christ.
