Maelezo ya Kozi
Eschatology is the study of the "last things"—a theological examination of God's final purposes in history and eternity. This course presents a Reformed understanding of biblical eschatology, focusing on the already-but-not-yet nature of the Kingdom of God.
Key themes include the intermediate state, the Second Coming of Christ, signs of the end times, the millennial debate (with emphasis on amillennialism), the final judgment, the destiny of the righteous and the wicked, and the restoration of all things in Christ.
The course upholds a Christ-centered and church-oriented eschatology, emphasizing the hope, endurance, and holiness of the saints as they await the glorious return of their King.
