Eschatology AND BIBLICAL
HERMENEUTICS
The Book of Revelation reveals Jesus as the Prince of Peace.
It tells us that Jesus, as the King of kings and Lord of lords,
will triumph over all to establish this peace, and then rule
over His earthly Kingdom for 1,000 years.
Revelation is
thus not to be viewed as a fearful and negative account of
wholesale destruction, but as the means by which God deals
with His wayward creation to establish peace.
The major
theme of Revelation is JESUS - the glorified Christ - His
victories and His eternal Kingdom.
With this in mind, let us
consider this first study concerning the period entitled “end
times.”
Some Bible Descriptions Of Promised Future Events
One event which is promised in God’s Word is the
Rapture of the Church.
This is the “snatching away” of all
the living Saints to join the Lord Jesus in the air.
We read in
First Thessalonians:
1 THESSALONIANS 4:16 For the Lord Himself shall
descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the
Archangel, and with the trump (trumpet) of God: and
the dead in Christ shall rise first:
1 THESSALONIANS 4:17 Then we who are alive and
remain shall be caught up together with them (the
3
resurrected dead) in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the
air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
The Rapture will be followed by a time of Tribulation
upon the earth, culminating in the Battle of Armageddon.
There will be two parts to the seven year Tribulation period,
the second part being called by many scholars “the Great
Tribulation,” being much greater in intensity, suffering and
affliction.
This second half of the Tribulation is termed by
Jeremiah “the time of Jacob’s trouble” (Jeremiah 30:7).
This is the same time-frame referred to in Daniel 12:1 as “a
time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation
even to that same time.”
This period is spoken of by Jesus
as follows:
MATTHEW 24:21 For then shall be Great Tribulation
(refers to the last three and a half years of the
Tribulation), such as was not since the beginning of the
world to this time, no, nor ever shall be (the worst that
the world has ever seen).
LUKE 21:22 For these be the days of vengeance
(judgement), that all things which are written (in the
Word of God) may be fulfilled.
REVELATION 16:16 And He (this is God) gathered
