Eschatology Lesson 2 Hermeneutical Principles - Reformed Universalist Theological Seminary

In this powerful second lesson from Reformed Universalist Theological Seminary’s Eschatology course, Dr. William M. Brennan, Th.D., explores the Hermeneutical Principles of Eschatology—the essential rules for rightly dividing biblical prophecy and “last things.” Tracing the history of interpretation from the Alexandrian and Antiochene schools through Augustine, Nicholas of Lyra, and the Reformation’s grammatical-historical method, this lecture shows how sound hermeneutics protects us from allegorical excess and anchors eschatology in the inspired author’s original intent. Viewers will learn how to interpret apocalyptic literature, balance symbolism and literalism, understand prophetic time indicators, and apply Christ-centered, covenantal, and already/not-yet principles in reading Scripture. A must-watch for anyone seeking a faithful, Reformed, and theologically rich approach to understanding Bible prophecy and the hope of Christ’s return.
