What saith the Scripture Tradition must give way to the clear statements of the Scripture

Apocalypse is also supposed to describe a particular form of eschatology, particularly beliefs about the end of the world. This is the sense in which the word is used in Ernst Kasemann’s famous claim that apocalyptic is the mother of Christian theology. Kasemann meant that early Christians believed in the imminent return of Jesus, and this expectation shaped their entire outlook. Kasemann said that it was characteristic of apocalyptic eschatology to acknowledge that the world is not yet subjected to God’s will, but that the subjection of the world has already begun, begun so thoroughly that it is in sight. This is the perspective of Paul, Kasemann said, an “no perspective could be more apocalyptic.” Christopher Rowland provides a fuller description of the eschatological perspective that is usually thought to be embedded in apocalypses: “the doctrine of the two ages, a pessimistic attitude towards the present, supernatural intervention as the only basis for redemption, and an urgent ex...

The Sermon on the Mount: The Law The Conclusion of the Law (Matthew 5:17-18) The relationship of Jesus to the Mosaic Law has been debated among certain people for many years. Most acknowledge that there is a difference between the law delivered by Moses and the one delivered by Jesus, but just how much of the Old Law was replaced and exactly when it was replaced has been contested.

There are many interpretation's on this verse Matthew 10:23 it's a good place to formulate your eschatology theology the verse ref. is to Dan 7:13,14  I saw in the night-visions, and,  behold, there came with the clouds of heaven one like unto a son of man, and he came even to the ancient of days, and they brought him near before him. 14 And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all the people's, nations, and languages should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed. This coming of the Son of Man is His heavenly enthronement, And to him was given dominion (Da 7:14) the word Erchomai, used for coming in Daniel and the New Testament is not the same coming used in Parousia, that only is used four times in Matthew all in ch.Mt.24:

Exposition of Revelation (MP3 Series) by G. K. Beale This monumental study of the book of Revelation will be especially helpful to scholars, pastors, students, and others seriously interested in interpreting the Apocalypse for the benefit of the church. Too often Revelation is viewed as a book only about the future. As G. K. Beale shows, however, Revelation is not merely a futurology but a book about how the church should live for the glory of God throughout the ages -- including our own. Approaching Revelation in terms of its own historical background and literary character, Beale argues convincingly that John’s use of Old Testament allusions -- and the way the Jewish exegetical tradition interpreted these same allusions -- provides the key for unlocking the meaning of Revelation’s many obscure metaphors. In the course of Beale’s careful exegesis, which also untangles the logical flow of John’s thought as it develops from chapter to chapter, it becomes clear that Revelation’s challen...
