VIDEO: The Amazing Perspective of the End Times

While nobody can know for certain what the end times will look like, there is no doubt that speculating about them still attracts numerous scholars. Nevertheless, while many people worry about the catastrophes that will come with the end times, it is advisable to stop worrying about this and start thinking how one can bring more people into eternity with him so that as many people as possible enjoy Heaven.

Few topics divide the Christian community as quickly as the issue of “end times” (known amongst theologians as the study of “eschatology”). Entire denominations divide over the issue, and many would argue a particular “eschatology” must be adopted if we are going to claim we are “Christians”. There are some essentials Christians must adopt related to “end times” and it turns out these essentials are relatively simple and easy to understand. Let’s take a look at some of the theories and interpretations developed over time as people have tried their best to understand what the Bible teaches, and then let’s offer an essential truth all of us should hold as Christians.

Let’s start with the basics. All Christians agree Jesus came and appeared to His followers over 2000 years ago, Jesus will eventually return, and Jesus will someday judge the living and the dead. We believe these things based on the clear teaching of Scripture:

Jesus Came:
For we did not follow cleverly devised tales when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of His majesty (2 Peter 1:16)

Jesus Will Return:
“In My Father’s house are many dwelling places; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you. If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself, that where I am, there you may be also” (John 14:2-3)

Jesus Will Judge:
And I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse, and He who sat on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness, He judges and wages war (Revelation 19:11)

These are details all Christians affirm and these claims were supported and posted by the first believers. But one more common belief has been proclaimed from the earliest days of Christianity. It is something called “Millennialism”. The New Testament describes a period of time in which Jesus will rule the earth for a millennium (from the Latin word, “Mille”, meaning “one thousand”); a thousand year period of time (whether literally from man’s perspective, or figuratively from God’s perspective). This period is described in the New Testament book most focused on the return of Jesus, the Book of Revelation.

Three Views of the End
There are three classic ideas about what might take place at the end of time, and some of these ideas find their source in the writings of the earliest believers, even though the details in these three systems were not completely worked out until much later:

1) Pre-Millennialism

i. Post- Tribulational Pre-Millennialism

ii. Mid- Tribulational Pre-Millennialism

iii. Pre- Tribulational Pre-Millennialism

2) Post-Millennialism

3) A-Millennialism

These three ideas about the end of time have captured the imagination of theologians and believers alike.
