It will all Pan out.

It will all Pan out.

Is the study of the end times, eschatology, important to followers of Christ? With all of the popular end times literature today, this seems to be a foolish question. Yet in my discussions with other believers I find that many think that a pan view is the most proper one to take, in that the end times will all pan out as God will it, so why bother with it?

I think this idea of the end times panning out, without our concern for it shows the ignorance of scripture of those who say such things. One brother has pointed out that two thirds of  the New Testament is about the end times. Two Thirds, take a moment and consider this. That means, my Evangelical friends and family, that the end times are written about more than personal salvation or evangelism. That means that the number one topic in the New Testament is the end times. Not salvation. Not the death, resurrection and ascension to the throne of God of Christ Jesus. No, the end times gets number one billing in the writings of the New Testament.

This means that it is the most important topic under consideration in the New Testament writings, and therefor most important for us to understand.

Let me make it clear, that the time of the New Testament writings was the time of the end. It was the time of the end of the age under the Mosaic covenant. It was the time of the end of the kingdom of Israel being the kingdom of God. A great change was at work in the economy of God.

This is why I am writing so much about the end times, to show the truth of scripture, that the days of the writings of the New Testament was the end times.
