From Background Notes [BN] for Sept
19th & 20th written by Pastor Bob Brown:
The world had a beginning and it
moves toward an end that is neither terminal nor hopeless, but climatic and
fulfilling.
We often hear the term
“eschatological” applied to the flow of history in light of God’s bright future.
From the Greek eschaton, meaning “end,” the word identifies the
purposeful arrival and continuing viability of all that God does for the world.
Like a powerful magnet, the future draws creation into ever-increasing oneness
with the Creator through a series of defining events that include His choice of Israel and the
earthly ministry of Jesus His Son. To think eschatologically means to see the
work of God in the world with meaning and purpose. Each of His great acts in
history gains importance from their contribution to how things will at last
turn out. He is, after all, the Alpha and the Omega. [BN,2]
