Clay's End Time Class


I just had the pleasure of sitting through an incredible class concerning eschatology and return of our LORD and King. By the way, eschaton simply means last or end. It's a Greek word. The suffix -ology or -logy refers to a branch of knowledge. Eschatology is the study of the things that must happen before, during, and immediately after Jesus returns to the planet.

My greatest surprise after setting aside a significant period of time studying the End Times is the amount of detail given in the Bible. People at the house of prayer have spent a great deal of time and compiled a list of 150 chapters pertaining to the End Times. This resource has been a valuable one as I have embarked in this adventure to search out the Great and Terrible Day of the LORD. I desire to have some understanding concerning the day that Jesus says is in his heart. (Isa 63.4)

The class was led by Mr. Clay Edwards, and he taught us for about six hours. I enjoyed every minute of it. This man has been in the context of the place of prayer, worship, and intercession while studying the content concerning the Messiah's second advent for years. I am so very blessed to be in this environment. During the time, we addressed false assumptions related to the end times, had and opportunity for questions and answers, and created a basic outline involving Daniel 9, Matthew 24, and events from the book of Revelation that include but are not limited to the seals, trumpets, bowls, abomination of desolation, New Jerusalem, and Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem, the city of the great king, where He will dwell. (Revelation 6-21) I really liked the class.

Bonus: Now, I know that some of you are End Times experts, so I ask that you identify this eschatological symbol and provide its interpretation.

  1. Any symbols that I refer to will be found in either Daniel or Revelation.
