The End of Days
The End of Days
According to a 2010 Pew Research study, just under half of U.S. Christians believed that Christ will definitely (27%) or probably (20%) return to earth in the next 40 years. Those who believed this would definitely NOT happen made up 10% and 28% said it would probably not happen.
When asked about belief in an afterlife, a 2021 Pew Research study found that 92% of U.S. adults (identifying as Christians) believe in heaven but only 79% believe in hell. While even more shockingly 33% of U.S. adults (identifying as Christian) believe in some form of reincarnation (a cycle of death and rebirth found in Hinduism and Buddhism).
As a result of the last 2 years of the Covid pandemic, political polarization, and a global increase in governmental control with a reduction in individual freedoms, people are increasingly curious about how close we may be to the climatic "End of Days." Many are starting to wonder if we are getting closer to the end.
Two of the greatest questions in which Christians should be concerned are:
(1) When Jesus will return?
(2) What will happen to me if I die before Jesus returns?
Daniel 12 is the final chapter of this amazing but difficult book. These key verses provide vital insights regarding both the End of Days and the Doctrine of the Resurrection of the Dead.
