What happens when Jesus returns? What happens to Christians when they die? Is the “thousand-year reign” of Revelation 20 happening now? And what will the final judgment and new heavens and new earth actually be like?
In this episode, Joel Settecase explains his position on Christian eschatology—the doctrine of the last things—from a biblical worldview.
We’ll look at:
• The Second Coming of Jesus Christ
• Partial preterism and Matthew 24
• Amillennialism and the “thousand years” of Revelation 20
• A historicist approach to the Book of Revelation
• The Antichrist and persecution of Christians
• The resurrection of believers and unbelievers
• What happens immediately after death
• Heaven, Hades, Hell, and the intermediate state
• The final judgment and the Book of Life
• The new heavens and new earth
• Why biblical eschatology should produce hope, courage, evangelism, and perseverance
Eschatology should not merely give Christians charts to argue about. Biblical theology of the end times should strengthen our faith, encourage discipleship, motivate evangelism, and remind us that Jesus Christ really is returning to judge the living and the dead and establish His Kingdom in its fullness.
The Think Institute exists to equip Christians to understand and defend the Christian worldview through biblical theology, philosophy, apologetics, evangelism, and discipleship.
If you want to grow in Christian apologetics, presuppositional apologetics, theology, philosophy of religion, biblical worldview, Christian epistemology, the Bible, evangelism, and arguments for God, subscribe to The Think Institute.
Jesus is coming back. The question is: Are you ready?
