Eschatology
Eschatology, from two Greek words meaning "last" (ἔσχατος) and "study" (-λογία), is the study of 'end things', whether the end of an individual life, the end of the age, the end of the world or the nature of the Kingdom of God.
Realized eschatology is a theory which holds that the eschatological passages in the New Testament do not refer to the future, but instead refer to the ministry of Jesus and his lasting legacy. Eschatology is therefore not the end of the world but its rebirth instituted by Jesus and continued by his disciples.
Consistent eschatology is an exclusive futuristic eschatology
Kingdom Eschatology is the study of the nature of the Kingdom of God. The kingdom is not where you go when you die because it is not only for the living[1] but it was and is at hand. Jesus was going to take the kingdom[2] from those who sat in the seat of Moses[3] but also appoint it in real time to those people he had called out.
