Welcome to our first WAA podcast of 2013!

The study of last day events. also called eschatology, has always been a part of the Adventist identity. Regarding the last days and Christ's second coming, Ellen White counseled, "Great pains should be taken to keep this subject before the people." Within Adventism there has always been an earnest interest in last day events and as with other Biblical doctrines the study of eschatology can be misconstrued and abused. But when studied carefully and prayerfully, eschatology reveals God's faithfulness through difficult times, the magnitude of His divine will, and shows us how He will carry out His ultimate judgements. 

For some Christians, including Adventists, eschatology has become too much of a mystery or a complex puzzle. An attitude is emerging within the church suggesting since last day events are complex, hard to understand or just plain weird, it may be time to move on, focus on the gospel message alone and not worry about the "last days."
