Eschatology is the study of final things or end time events.
Over the years I had experienced much confusion in the study of eschatology, due to not having established some guidelines for drawing conclusions. The Lord made it clear to me that the most important criteria was that it agree with his clear teachings in the gospels. A conclusion can only be drawn when it is in agreement with the rest of the Bible. Some teachers have established major doctrines using only one proof text. Consistent scriptural teaching with several supporting passages that agree on a certain point will help eliminate error.
