Where do I start? I dont know anything concerning Eschatology. Except from the little I've seen from the Left Behind series. I dont really have the money right now to buy any books. I rather start off by reading online. Any good, balanced, websites that compare all the views? Ill even read the bias ones as well.

to start with there is a good Chart by Nate Wilson just surch his name and Comparison Of Four Eschatological Positions and you should find it. Also the book The Meaning of the Millennium: Four Views by InterVarsity Press, is a good starting point as far as books go.

CCRPC, RPCGA Board Rules -Signature Rules How absurd a tenet is this, which holdeth that there is some particular worship of God allowed, and not commanded? What new light is this which maketh all our divines to have been in the mist, who have acknowledged no worship of God, but that which God hath commanded? Who ever heard of commanded and allowed worship? - George Gillespie

"The heart is the main thing in true religion...It is the hinge and turning-point in the condition of man's soul. If the heart is alive to God and quickened by the Spirit, the man is a living Christian. If the heart is dead and has not the Spirit, the man is dead before God." (J.C. Ryle)
The is the absolutely best advice to anyone who desires to understand eschatology.
One must study and learn God's end purposes and intents (establishing an everlasting kingdom for His Son, shared with redeemed creatures) before the events that will surely and eventually bring that kingdom about, are understood and recognized.

"... Of such also, or of those who make a credible profession of being such, all those particular churches consist, which constitute our Lord's visible kingdom. ... Consequently, all the subjects of His government must have spiritual dispositions, , and yield spiritual obedience- obedience proceeding from an enlightened understanding, an awakened conscience, and a renewed heart."- Abraham Booth 1788

On Sermon Audio, do a search for Gary DeMarr. Most of his are from conferences and I think they are great. And free is not bad either.

If you think I'm a Hyper-Calvinist, God planned that thought before the foundation of the Earth. If you try to tell me that God only planned some things and not all things, then your problem is with God not me.

Christian ritual costs nothing and is worth nothing. True Christian religion costs all that we have and is worth everything.
