Christian Apocalyptic - Examples

Published: Sept. 7, 2009, 12:30 p.m.

Continuing the discussion of Christian Apocalyptic literature, we read\nexcerpts from Daniel, who prophesies the coming of the Christ, the\npseudepigraphal Enoch, which expands on the Sons of God mentioned in\nthe book of Genesis.
\n
\nThe Olivet Discourse is another example, where Jesus expounds on the\nlast days, as a capstone to a series of questions He was asked.
\n
\nLike the early Church, we do not know when the End Times will come, but\nwe must assume that the end may be coming at any time, and we must look\nfor the signs that it is coming.

The closing theme is Gerard Satamian's Chansons Sans Paroles Op. 2 Pastorale, from the album Dry Fig Trees. www.magnatune.com
