Rethinking The End Times

There is an assumption about God that has become so deeply embedded in religious thought that many people no longer recognize it as an assumption. It is treated as self-evident that God is first and foremost a judge, that humanity stands before him as defendants, and that righteousness requires him to decide who deserves mercy and who deserves condemnation.

One week, people are told that salvation is not by works, that humanity is saved by grace, that sins have been forgiven, and that the work of Christ is finished. The next week, they are told that God will eventually evaluate them according to their works and determine their final outcome based on what they have done. The question is, what was Jesus saying?

What if the “end times” already happened? Explore Matthew 24 in context and see how Jesus fulfilled His promise, ushering in a new covenant reality.

Revelation 21 isn’t about a destroyed universe—it’s about a fulfilled covenant. The “new heaven and new earth” reveal a new creation temple where all are reconciled in Christ. The “sea” of separation is gone; there are no outsiders left. Discover how heaven, earth, and sea once defined the old temple and how Jesus made all things new.

In this blog, we will examine the key terms translated as “hell” in many English Bibles and reveal how this modern doctrine departs from the heart of the gospel and the language of Jesus Himself. Our journey will take us through the words Gehenna, Hades, and Tartarus, and expose how later tradition gave rise to the distorted concept we now call “hell.”
