When Shall These Things Be?Steve Gregg
In this talk, Steve Gregg defines eschatology as the study of final and last things, including the visible and physical second coming of Christ to Earth, the coming judgment by mighty angels, and the changing of the order of the world as we know it. He explains that although different interpretations exist, the majority of Christians believe in the future visible return of Christ to Earth. He also cautions that while some familiar Christian words might hold different meanings, it is important to consider the possible biblical foundations behind them. Finally, Gregg discusses the term "millennium," which refers to a one-thousand-year period mentioned in Revelation 20.
