What did the early Christians actually expect about the future? Were they vague or symbolic, or did they have a clear picture of what was to come?

In this episode, Dr. Michael Svigel shares insights from his book Fathers on the Future, revealing that second-century leaders like Irenaeus anticipated a real, visible kingdom, Christ’s return, and a renewed world.

We’ll explore:

How the early church imagined the future

Common misunderstandings about their expectations

What we can learn about hope and faith from their perspective

Even if you’re not familiar with debates about the “millennium” or the end times, this conversation offers a fascinating window into how the first Christians lived in light of what they believed was coming.
