Eschatalogue - Definitions
Eschatology can be theologically complex. Many of the passages that refer to the end times are in the genre of apocalyptic prophecy. These are books like Daniel and the Revelation that use complex imagery. To understand these passages requires an understanding of this imagery and the role of such prophecy in the history of Israel.
In addition, a study of eschatology uses terms that are not frequently used in interpreting other parts of the Bible. The goal of this post is to create some basic definitions as a starting point for the rest of the discussion.
