Reading and Interpreting Revelation Correctly

The Book of Revelation opens with a prologue (Revelation 1:1-8), builds within the main body (Revelation 1:9-22), and concludes with an epilogue (Revelation 22:6-21).

When Is Jesus Coming Back? Is it Soon?

One common objection to Christianity is the claim made by non-Christians that since Christians believe Jesus is coming back soon, and that He hasn’t yet, that He won’t come at all. Today, many people equate “coming soon” to going through the drive-thru line at their fast-food restaurant of choice. So, when they come to the …

Watching and Waiting on the Return of the Lord Jesus

Every Christian believes that the Lord Jesus’s return is imminent, meaning that it could happen at any time, any moment. In Titus 2:13, Paul calls this, “waiting for our blessed hope, the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ.” Knowing the Lord could come back today causes some to stop …

The Activity and Characteristics of the Antichrist

The word “Antichrist” evokes imagery of the End Times, and in particular, of the Book of Revelation. It’s in Revelation where we learn about the end game of Satan, along with his unholy Trinity: the false teacher, the antichrist, and Satan himself. In 1 John, the Apostle John, wants to help his readers understand that …

Six Ways Eschatology Helps Christians

Eschatology is the study of what Scripture teaches about the end times. While many Christians treat the subject of eschatology as something to be avoided, the Bible speaks of it, not as something to be avoided, but studied. Eschatology is not as critical as our understanding of the person and work of Christ, but it …

December 2022 Editorial The Imminent Return of Christ

The study of End Times has led to numerous theories and theologies over the centuries. Some of these theologies are good, and others have zero basis in the biblical text. Wherever you land on eschatology (the study of the End Times), what matters is that we, as Christians, are looking to the Lord and His …
