This is a brief explanation to what this book is. In the Fullness of Time is a study of Eschatology that has been years in the making and by God's providence years in its understanding. This book is a full expositional commentary of the Book of Revelation.
I know that there are quite a few views of what the 'End Times' will be like and having grown up hearing and learning about the battle of Armageddon and the idea of World War 3 and the 'secret Rapture' from Dispensational Theology; I will admit I had left Eschatology alone and was resolved to keep it that way.
Yet, I had a conversation with a dear friend one day at work that sparked my interest into it once again. Yet, this time I had a proper understanding of Scripture and had learned how to actually read it and also interpret it. I also had some theologians and Bible Teachers along the way that helped me focus in on the details of not only the book of Revelation, but of Scripture all together.
I may never meet any of these faithful men of God who have taught me to be consistent and to be faithful to the text; even if I had issues with what it said. I grew up in a Non-Denominational Church that had some Pentecostal traditions. Today though I am no longer a Pentecostal (I hold no ill-will toward those who are), I am a Reformed Protestant Evangelical (Most likely a Reformed Baptist) who is also a Calvinist and a Preterist/Idealist Postmillennialist.
I understand that there are many rich traditions and denominations in the Christian faith, and I am one of many. I never could have imagined that God would bring the people who are in my life into it and also taken those who used to be in it out of it. Yet, in His work for my sanctification He does what He wills with me and I can only pray for the grace to walk in the work He has laid out for me to walk in.
This book is not to argue over Eschatological views, but to approach them all with a mind that is fixed on Scripture and what it is saying, not what I have heard everyone else say or parrot talking points at me. I am convinced by these things by Holy Scripture and I am glad to be thrown into the rabble that can be called Post-Mils. There is perhaps a chance that I may have over-corrected my Dispensational Pre-Millennial upbringing, but all you have to do is convince me that Christ will not put every enemy under His feet before He comes and that His kingdom will not be like a great mountain that fills the earth, oh and that those passages that say those things are after He comes, not while He is reigning now.
I hope that this study of Eschatology helps whoever reads it, God bless you and Soli De Gloria!
