Eschatology 101: Understanding the Millennium, Rapture, Tribulation, Israel, and More (Ep 227)
Episode Description
In this episode, Peter Goeman answers ten foundational definitional questions to help listeners better understand conversations about eschatology. He explains what eschatology is, outlines the major millennial views, and explores the meaning of the tribulation and the rapture. He also discusses why covenant theology and dispensationalism matter so much in end-times discussions, and why hermeneutics is often the real key behind many of these debates. Finally, he addresses why Israel is such a central part of eschatological conversations. For those looking for a broad overview of end-times terminology and the theological assumptions behind it, this episode provides a helpful starting point.
