Eschatology Matters

Who is the mysterious "man of lawlessness" in 2 Thessalonians 2? In this episode, pastor Stephen Baker examines one of the most debated passages in all of eschatology. While many Christians view this text as a prediction of a future Antichrist, this study explores whether Paul was instead describing first-century events leading up to the destruction of Jerusalem in A.D. 70. By examining the apostasy, the temple, the restrainer, and the historical setting of Nero Caesar, we consider how Paul's warning would have been understood by its original audience and what it teaches us about judgment, rebellion, and the last days. Was Paul predicting our future—or explaining their future?

For decades, many Christians have been taught to think of themselves as outsiders in a culture they can no longer influence. But is that mindset actually biblical? 

 this episode of The Worldview, Alex Kocman sits down with Chase Davis to discuss what it means for Christians to "assume the center" and live with confidence in an increasingly disordered age.

They discuss: 
• Why Christianity should be viewed as normal rather than marginal
• How believers can resist despair, cynicism, and resentment
• The relationship between faithfulness and cultural influence
• Building strong families, churches, and communities
• Why Christian men must recover courage, responsibility, and agency
• Evangelism, discipleship, and long-term cultural engagement
• What it means to live as if Christ truly reigns

If you've ever wondered whether Christians should withdraw from culture or engage it with confidence, this conversation is for you.

Subscribe to Eschatology Matters for biblical theology, cultural analysis, and Christ-centered discussions that equip believers for faithful living in every sphere of life.

Will God completely destroy the earth at the end of history?

Many Christians picture the end times as God wiping creation away and replacing it with an entirely different world. But is that actually what Scripture teaches?

In Episode #10 of Top 10 Most Controversial Verses: Eschatology Edition, Josh Howard examines Revelation 21:1 and one of the biggest questions in biblical prophecy: when Scripture speaks of a “new heaven and new earth,” does it mean annihilation—or renewal?
 
Looking at Revelation 21 alongside 2 Peter 3, Noah’s flood, Isaiah’s prophecies, and the Bible’s larger theme of restoration, this episode explores whether God abandons creation… or redeems it.

In this episode of Shadows to Substance, Pastor George Sayour explores one of the most remarkable themes in the Gospel of John: Jesus Christ as the true temple of God. Far more than a collection of miracles and teachings, John's Gospel presents Jesus as the fulfillment of the tabernacle, the temple, the sacrifices, and the entire system of Old Covenant worship. From "the Word became flesh and dwelt among us" to the empty tomb, John reveals that everything pointed to Christ. Scholars have long noted John's extensive use of temple imagery to portray Jesus as God's ultimate dwelling place among His people. Join us as we trace these connections throughout John's Gospel and discover how the shadows of the Old Testament find their substance in Jesus Christ.
