APOSTOLIC ESCHATOLOGY – EMBRACING THE KINGDOM OF GOD
By
Kobus Swart
When we look at the different definitions (many of which are only speculations) of the end time, it should not surprise us that so many believers, including Christian leaders, feel that teachings on eschatology have divided the church. This becomes very obvious when one notes the great number of books on the “end time”, of which many propagate different views and interpretations of the same scriptures dealing with the last days. We must remember that any doctrine which appeals to selfish desires or fears, such as dispensationalism with its escapist end time mentality, creates false centres. And these false centres become false viewpoints which lead to a faulty understanding of truth. As a result, there has been a tendency in many churches as well as conversations amongst believers, to steer away from this subject.
The question that many sincere believers often ask in this regard is, why make such an issue of the different view points about the end time if we all believe that Jesus is coming back anyway? Does it really matter?
I believe that it certainly matters.
