Eschatology The Doctrine of Last Things
Eschatology The Doctrine of Last Things by George Hawtin. Eschatology is the branch of theology dealing with “last things.” The word is taken from the Greek eschatos (last) plus ology. Thus the truth embraced in eschatology concerns the final things of the ages. Though few theologians (if there be such people) of the older order would agree with me, eschatology in my opinion should include not only the second advent of Christ, but His first advent as well, since the two advents are really one. It includes the truth concerning the wheat and the tares, the second coming of Christ, the resurrection of the just, the judgment seat of Christ, the judgment of the nations, the millennial kingdom, the New Jerusalem, the resurrection of the unjust, the white throne judgment, the dispensation of the fullness of times, and the new heaven and the new earth.
Eschatology The Doctrine of Last Things
No man will ever be able to properly understand the Bible until he is able to see its message as one grand whole. All the things that have ever happened throughout the pages of Holy Scripture must be seen as integral parts of each other. Those who search for truth must be able to stand in the spirit with the Father before the foundation of the ages to behold through His all-seeing eyes the progress of His eternal purposes from the beginning of the creation to the culmination of the majestic plan. When the devout student does this, he will not be looking at a host of hit and miss tactics as the blundering experiments of a frustrated God, nor will he see a whole series of trials and errors, failures and successes, but his wondering eyes will behold one great and glorious purpose, conceived in the heart of God before the ages began, unfolding as a flower irresistibly, irretrievably, and unswerving as each successive age and dispensation reveals its own aionian purpose.
