The study of Bible prophecy, also known as eschatology (the study of last things), can be very confusing and intimidating to many people, especially when all the different views are presented. It's important for Christians to come together on the key issues about the future they all agree on. The three non-negotiable, immovable pillars of Christian eschatology, he says, are the literal, visible, physical return of Jesus Christ to Earth; the bodily resurrection of the dead; and the final judgment of all people. “These are the three points we must all wholeheartedly embrace,

As important and interesting as it is to know about the character and course of the coming Antichrist, it’s essential to remember that the teaching about the Antichrist was not given to make us anxious but to make us aware. God has revealed this information to us not so we become preoccupied with the Antichrist or recklessly speculate about his identity, but to show us where this world is headed and to assure us that God is in control. Our awareness of God’s final victory over the Antichrist and evil assures believers that both the present and the future are firmly in God’s grasp.

On the Day of Pentecost when questioned about how to be saved, Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. Acts 2:38 That is the only way to avoid the coming great tribulation.
