Dan 11:32 Episode 106: Eschatology 101, Part One
Today's episode is the first of a series on the subject of eschatology - the study of "the ultimate or final things." Given the current events happening in the Middle East, the subject of eschatology has been on many people's minds of late. In this series we will be studying what Scripture has to say - beginning in this episode with a study of the "Little Apocalypse" of Matthew 24.
