These Last Days: A Christian View of History CDs

Author: Philadelphia Conference on Reformed Theology 2010

For many Christians, the last days refer to the short period of intense activity immediately prior to the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. But according to the apostles, the last days were inaugurated by the first coming of Christ and continue even today. The book of Hebrews thus begins by saying that while God formerly spoke by the prophets, “in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son” (Heb. 1:2). Paul warned Timothy that “in the last days there will come times of difficulty,” and then made plain that Timothy was living in these very last days (2 Tim. 3:1). According to Peter, the last days began with the pouring out of the Spirit at Pentecost. This fulfilled the ancient prophecy, which said, “In the last days it shall be, God declares, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh” (Acts 2:17). Biblically, for us, the last days are these last days, as we are those, Paul said, “on whomthe end of the ages has come” (1 Cor. 10:11).

How do we biblically understand our time as the final age of world history and what does it mean to our faith? Reformed Christians have often shunned the field of eschatology, surrendering end times doctrine to more popular (but less biblical) schemes. But eschatology is important! Paul describes the fulfillment of history as “our blessed hope” (Titus 2:13), a hope made real to us now through our faith. It was their Christian doctrine of history that thrilled the first Christian disciples: they realized that with the coming of the “last days” they had entered into the reign of the eschatological kingdom that dawned with the coming of Christ. Our faith will likewise be strengthened by a biblical view of eschatology and a right understanding of what it means to live in “this present evil age” (Gal. 1:4) by means of the “powers of the age to come” (Heb. 6:5).

These messages not only provide biblical clarity on controversial matters, but even more importantly, strengthen believers for life in these last days by understanding the Bible’s teaching on God’s plan for all of history. Speakers are Joel Beeke, Alistair Begg, D. A. Carson, Ligon Duncan, Sinclair Ferguson, and Michael Horton. 6 messages on 6 CDs
