In preparation for a more in-depth study of eschatology, we have been taking a bit of time to lay a foundational understanding of why certain events are going to come upon the world in the last days. We must understand these if we are going to be prepared for them.

As those of you who have been a part of our Word for the Week studies know, I do a lot of reviewing for the sake of hammering some issues home. Repetition is required for a high level of retention, and we are doing these studies for more than just...
