Eschatology is the study of the end of history
and the world as we know it. It relates to the ultimate destiny of humanity. It
is from two the Greek words; eschatos, meaning “last” and logy, meaning “the
study of.”
In Christian theology, eschatology is the study
of the religious beliefs concerning the future, final events or the “end times,”
as well as the ultimate purpose(s) of the world, of mankind, and the Church.
Eschatology refers to doctrine about the destiny of all things. In a Christian
context, this inquiry is vested in prophesy and the purposes of God as
documented in the Bible. Another way to look at eschatology is “the coming of
God,” because in Christian theology, the coming of God is the decisive event
that signals the end of an age and the beginning of a new age.
