What the New Testament says about the end of the world and why it is important for us to understand this well.

This teaching afternoon will explore the language the New Testament uses about the 'end of the world' (also known as 'eschatology') and why it is so important to understand it properly. We will look at:a. The background to this language in Jewish thinkingb. Jesus' teaching in Matthew 24 and Mark 13c. The Rapture—what is it, and does the Bible really teach itd. What the New Testament says about 'tribulation'e. The beast, the antichrist, and the Millennium in Rev 20f. The significance of the State of IsraelWe will be debunking some common myths, and seeing what the New Testament really teaches. And we will explore the pastoral importance of getting our thinking right on this important subject. There will be a chance for some interaction and for asking questions. The session does not require any prior expert knowledge; we will be looking carefully at the text of the New Testament and what is says in its own context. Dr Ian Paul is a well-known biblical scholar and teacher. He has written extensively on eschatology and on the Book of Revelation, including the IVP Tyndale Commentary on Revelation, and the Grove booklet Kingdom, Hope and the End of the World. He publishes on the widely-read blog site www.psephizo.com.
