Acts 1:6-11
Today we're continuing our series on the primary doctrines of our faith. If you've been w/ us over the Summer, we've looked at the doctrines of God, Jesus, the H.S., the Bible, Man/sin, and salvation. Today, as you've likely guessed, we're going to look at the doctrine of Eschatology or the doctrine of last things.
Eschatology is the one doctrine that seems to fascinate us the most - yet it's easily the most confounding of the primary doctrines of the church. We all want to know when the end is coming and how.

As he began his message, quoting from Rev. 22, he ran to the edge of the stage and said, ''Behold, I come quickly!'' Unfortunately for him, he lost his train of thought and didn't know what to say next; so, he backed up and ran forward a 2nd time exclaiming - ''Behold, I come quickly!'' Still nothing. On the 3rd attempt to jog his memory, as he ran to the edge of the stage and shouted, ''Behold, I come quickly!'' - only he tripped over a cord and fell into the lap of a senior deacon sitting on the front pew. Embarrassed and a bit shaken, the young pastor apologized to the older man who replied, ''Don't worry son, you warned me 3 times you were coming.''
I An OVERVIEW of Last Things
This AM, I want to give you a simple overview of the of eschatology to give you a working understanding. Let's review the BFM and a passage from Acts 1.
God, in His own time and in His own way, will bring the world to its appropriate end. According to His promise, Jesus will return personally and visibly in glory to the earth; the dead will be raised; and Christ will judge all men in righteousness. The unrighteous will be consigned to Hell, the place of everlasting punishment. The righteous in their resurrected ...
