Eschatology, Where do I start? (resources)

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.

For the Post-Mill view I'd start with Ken Gentry's sermons on Sermon Audio here. I think he is the most clear Post-Mill speaker currently.

It is God that multiplies our sorrows....
God, as a righteous Judge, does it, which ought to silence us under all our sorrows; as many as they are, we have deserved them all, and more: nay, God, as a tender Father, does it for our necessary correction, that we may be humbled for sin, and weaned from the world by all our sorrows; and the good we get by them, with the comfort we have under them, will abundantly balance our sorrows, how greatly soever they are multiplied. - Matthew Henry

Start here:

Matt 24,25
1 Cor 15
2 Pet 3

When you have these as your foundation, then move on to other stuff.

Joshua,

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.

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.
