Christian Apocalyptic – The Early Church

September 14, 2009

The early Church viewed the apocalyptic writings as vital to the faith.
Early Christians saw the end times as imminent, though not necessarily
coming soon, as suggested by the exhortation to preach the Gospel to
all the nations. In the same way, faulty wiring might pose an imminent
danger, but it might not actually cause a catastrophe for many years.

We also look in-depth at the circumstances surrounding the Olivet Discourse and some prophecies in Daniel.

Every generation should see itself as standing on the precipice of the
end times, an end which God has delayed through His mercy so that we
may have time to repent. We must keep our attention on the end and keep
Heaven as our goal.

The closing theme is Gerard Satamian’s Chansons Sans Paroles Op. 2 Pastorale, from the album Dry Fig Trees. www.magnatune.com
