Eschatology: the theological doctrine of the last words

This page, seen best on a tablet or larger, is a chart of careful observations of major events based on their location and presented in the sequence of their occurrence. It allows you to see the details of events by including all major eschatological references outside of Revelation, and how the Bible presents a coherent eschatological message that really does make sense. Because of its objective approach, the process can be replicated and you can see and evaluate the data independently.

We hope this tool will help you understand what is happening by enabling you to see the relationship of various events with each other and gain a better understanding of eschatology. Let the objective observable data drive your interpretation. While supernatural events may be difficult to comprehend, we believe that Revelation can be approached logically with little speculation Sometimes you'll encounter instances where there is no explicit observable data, but there may be enough circumstantial data to draw reasonable inferences.

With its florid figures of speech, Revelation is a very difficult book to read and understand, and there are numerous hermeneutical approaches of interpretation. Even when eschatological prophecies outside of Revelation are considered, visibility into Revelation's meaning remains murky. However, the book of Daniel does shed some light, and it must be considered initially in the process of understanding Revelation. For example: Daniel's Fourth Gentile Kingdom | Daniel's 70th Week | John's Revelation Interlude and Daniel's 70th Week

In comparison to apocalyptic literature found in Isaiah, Ezekiel, Jeremiah, and Zechariah, Daniel's apocalyptic prophecies were quoted or referred to the most in the New Testament some 600 years later. Few have been esteemed by God as highly as the prophet Daniel, and he was noted for his deep love for God's people. In loving devotion to God and with a regular prayer life, Daniel serves as an exemplary life of faith.
