2. eschatology (English)-In theology, this word refers to the doctrine of the "last things." The etymology of eschatology is eschatos + logos.
Holman Bible Dictionary: The teaching concerning the last things in world history. The Greek word eschatos
means “last” or “final.” Accordingly, eschatology is the study of the
things expected to occur at the end of history. There are two basic ways
of approaching eschatology. The first, which has been most common over
the centuries, focuses on those final events or situations which have
not yet occurred. These are, chiefly, Jesus' return, the millennium, the
last judgment, the final resurrection, and heaven and hell. Over the
last century, however, scholars have generally agreed that the New
Testament was written in an atmosphere pervaded by eschatology.
