Using the Eschatology lens to analyse The Difference Between "End Times" and "Last Days".mp3

ABSTRACT
The work by Dr. William Anderson Gittens,D.D. The Etymology and Eschatology Lens to Analyze the Difference Between "End Times" and "Last Days"*, explores the nuanced meanings of these terms from a biblical and metaphysical perspective, while applying a variety of lenses such as those of an author, podcaster, publisher, photojournalist, media arts specialist, cultural theorist, and doctor of divinity. 

Dr. Gittens,D.D. applies a metaphorical lens to the analysis of the terms “End Times” and “Last Days,” using it to offer a deeper understanding of these concepts in Christian eschatology. The etymology of both terms is explored, with attention to their usage in the Bible, particularly in Greek, Hebrew, and Aramaic, to clarify their specific meanings and implications. The terms "End Times" and "Last Days" are contrasted, with emphasis on the similarities and differences in how they are presented in scripture, including who uses them and in which verses.

The scholarly conversation goes further by defining **eschatology**—the study of the end of the world or ultimate destiny of humanity—and combining this concept with the metaphorical lens of eschatology to analyze the meanings of “End Times” and “Last Days” in scripture. This combination offers a framework for a textual analysis and literature review, aimed at deepening the understanding of eschatological perspectives on the end of times in biblical literature.

In summary, the work provides a comprehensive examination of the linguistic, theological, and metaphorical aspects of "End Times" and "Last Days," shedding light on how these terms have evolved, are used in scripture, and what they signify in eschatological discourse.
