Life in the New Covenant, Part 37 - Rick Joyner
This new eschatology, or theology about the end of the age, attributed the books of Daniel and Revelation, and some biblical prophecies, as being almost exclusively about the very end of the age, which they considered to be imminent in 1844. This was in contrast to the eschatology of the Catholic Church and that embraced by virtually the entire Protestant Church. Of these, the Protestant eschatology was the closest to that of the first century apostles and prophets and also mostly what was adopted by the “early church fathers” who wrote prior to the Council of Nicaea.
The first century apostles and early church fathers had expected these prophecies to unfold from their time until the end of the age. This eschatology was recovered during the Reformation. The teachers and theologians of that time saw how much of what had been predicted in these prophecies, especially in Daniel and Revelation, had been accurately fulfilled during the period from the first century until the beginning of the Reformation in the early 1500s.
