In today’s episode, we’re looking at one of the most misunderstood threads in the Bible—eschatology, or the study of “last things.” While only a few books of scripture truly deal with apocalyptic visions, generations have elevated these passages into blueprints for the end of the world. We’ll trace how that thinking evolved, how it distorts the original intent of books like Daniel and Revelation, and why this obsession with endings has too often harmed human progress. More importantly, we’ll explore what happens when we shift our focus from waiting for an end to building new beginnings.
