Eschatology - Theology Nights
Tuesday, 11 August, 2026
Many Christians have inherited a very specific picture of the end times, one built around a secret rapture, a seven-year tribulation, and a literal thousand-year reign of Christ on earth. But this framework, known as dispensationalism, was not developed until 1835 and has no roots in the early church or the Reformation. The historic position of the church, held by theologians from Augustine to Calvin, is that Christ is reigning now and will return once to consummate all things. Revelation is not a predictive news calendar but apocalyptic literature written to encourage persecuted first-century believers. The destination of the redeemed is not escape from earth but life with God on a renewed earth. Our view of the end times shapes how we live today, and the church is called not to passively wait but to actively participate in the kingdom of God right now.Support the show
