Eschatology:
Eschatology comes from eschatos, meaning "last, utmost, or extreme," and the word logos, meaning "word." Eschatology means the last word, or a study of last things.

Apocalypse is from the Greek word apokalupsis, meaning "to uncover or unveil what is hidden." It is the Greek name given for the book of Revelation, which was a vision given to the apostle John. The book was originally written in Greek.

As I am going through this wonderful journey of life and life with God and more abundantly; I am noticing and taking some into consideration a vast difference in the learning techniques, which allows me to gain the knowledge of the Word of God. I truly want God to give me the wisdom and the knowledge of his word along with understanding. With this it will allow a greater understanding; as in our reading gave us a scripture in 2 Timothy 3:16 (AMP)
16 All Scripture is God-breathed [given by divine inspiration] and is profitable for instruction, for conviction [of sin], for correction [of error and restoration to obedience], for training in righteousness [learning to live in conformity to God’s will, both publicly and privately—behaving honorably with personal integrity and moral courage]. I pray that we as a people of God and a LeaderShifter that we begin to research out varies of knowledge that will take us further in the Word of God, more than one way.
I would really love to purchase a Jewish bible with a English interpretation.
