Presentation transcript:

 The Greek adjective eschatos, translated “last,” pertains: to being at the farthest boundary of an area, farthest, last; to being the final item in a series, least, last in time; to furthest extremity in rank, value, or situation, last: last, least, most insignificant [BDAG].

 The English word “eschatology,” derived from the Greek eschatos, entering common usage in 1844, pertains to a branch of theology concerned with the final events in the history of the world or of mankind; a belief concerning death, the end of the world, or the ultimate destiny of mankind; specifically : any of various Christian doctrines concerning the Second Coming, the resurrection of the dead, or the Last Judgment” [Webster].

 Physical Usage: the last place at the table (Luke 14:7-11), or the last day of the feast (John 7:37-39).  Spiritual Usage: the Messianic Age, future days of trouble, and the Final Day of Judgment.

 The last days may point to the forthcoming Messianic Age, future from the standpoint of the Old Testament, but present reality in the Gospel dispensation (Heb. 1:1-2; Acts 2:15-21; Joel 2:28-32; Isa. 2:1-4; Mic. 4:1-5; Dan. 2:27-30, 44-45; 10:14; Jer. 48:46-47; 49:37- 39; Hos. 3:1-5).

 The last days often refers to the future days of trouble, i.e., from the standpoint of the writer (Deut. 4:25-31; 31:24-29; Jer. 23:20-22; 30:23-24; Ezek. 38:14-16; Acts 20:25-32; 1 Tim. 4:1-5; 2 Tim. 3:1-5; 2 Pet. 3:3-7; 1 John 2:18-24; Jude 17-23).

 The last days may also anticipate the final day of judgment, when God will reward the righteous and punish the wicked (John 6:35-40, 41-45, 52-58; 11:21-26; 12:48; James 5:1-6).

 Do you share in the spiritual blessings of Jesus Christ (Eph. 1:3-6; Gal. 3:26-29)?  Are you prepared to stand before God in judgment (Acts 17:30-31; 2 Cor. 5:6-11)?
