Description

What can we be sure of in the future? Join us as father-son duo, Dale and Joel Evrist, engage in a lively discussion on the topic of Eschatology, a theological term which describes the study of end times in the Bible. In this episode, we will continue talking about how to understand a few common modes of interpreting the book of Revelation, including conversations about the Tribulation and the Great Tribulation, and what events in the future we can be certain of as Bible-believing Christians. We will also discuss the most scripturally sane approach for how to live today in order to be ready for future events.

"That future appointment with Christ should motivate present living to be holy." - Dr. David Shibley

"I don't know when Jesus will return, but I do know what my attitude should be in the waiting, and that's readiness." - Frank Turrek

The Tribulation:

• Pre-Tribulational/Pre-Millennialist View: The view that the Church will be caught up before the Tribulation begins.
• Amillennial Tribulationalist View: The view that the tribulation has been happening since Christ's death and resurrection coincides with a spiritual period of Christ's reign over the earth.
• Postmillennial Tribulationalist View: The view that the Church is ruling and reigning with Christ on the earth and is also going through the tribulation at the same time.
• Classical Pre-Millennialism View: The view that the Church has been and will continue to experience the tribulation until Christ's return.
• Matthew 24:13-14
