Question 30
In the study of ecclesiology and eschatology it was noted that one's hermeneutics is a key to
determining how he or she will understand many of the key events such as the second coming, the
millennial kingdom, and the judgments to follow. Explain this and give examples of theologians
who disagree on the details of eschatology based on their approach to interpreting Bible prophecy.
Selected Answer:
Samuel L. Hoyt explains that ecclesiology and eschatology were brought side by side since the
sobering event that involves the future evaluation of the church. He also explains. Jesus said in
Matthew 16:18 "18And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build
my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it" Jesus build the church that day as
well as dying for the church that is the body of Christ, which creates a union between
ecclesiology and eschatology. "Jesus' use of OT language was creative and cannot be confined to
the meaning that language had in its original context. He probably did point forward to his
personal coming to earth—not only to manifest his glory but to share that glory with his people,
raised from the dead by his quickening shout. When the consummation to which his people look
forward is described as their "hope of glory," it is their participation in Jesus' resurrection glory
that is in view; that hope is kept bright within them by his indwelling presence ( Col. 1:27) and
sealed by the Spirit ( Eph. 1:13-14, 18-21).There is a tension between the "already" and the "not
yet" of the Christian hope, but each is essential to the other. In the language of the seer of
Patmos, the Lamb that was slain has by his death won the decisive victory ( Rev. 5:5), but its final
outworking, in reward and judgment, lies in the future ( Rev. 22:12). The fact that we now see
Jesus "crowned with glory and honor" is guarantee enough that God has put "everything under
him" ( Heb. 2:8-9). Hispeople already share his risen life, and those who reject him are
"condemned already" ( John 3:18). For the fourth evangelist, the judgment of the world
coincided with the passion of the incarnate Word ( John 12:31); yet a future resurrection to
judgment is contemplated as well as a resurrection to life ( John 5:29).
