Are We There Yet? Pandemic and the End-times
Steven Tuell, James A. Kelso Professor of Hebrew and Old Testament, Pittsburgh Theological Seminary

Back in March, one of my students asked me, “[I]s this the end of days? I have heard a number of students joke and comment about this, and I think the jokes and comments about the apocalypse do indicate a small underlying fear.” In these next few Sundays, we will look at several texts from both testaments typically read as predicting the end of the world, and consider what the texts themselves actually say about the Apocalypse, the Rapture, the Antichrist, and the Final Judgment. Our perspective throughout will be that we need not worry: not because we know what the future holds, but because we know who holds the future.
