Apocalypse Now? A Bible Study: Session VI

End times. Apocalypse. The second coming of Christ - these have been some of Google's most popular search terms for the last few years. But, what do any of these words actually mean, and what importance do they have for our faith? Let’s look together at what "apocalypse" is in the Bible, what it's come to mean today, and what it might teach us about ourselves in this historical moment. We'll look at two key books from scripture along the way – Daniel and Revelation – along with a variety of cultural sources that invite us to imagine the “end.”

In sixth session of this series, we will gather at Sue Westmoreland’s house at 6pm to watch The Matrix and discuss:

  • The Matrix came out in 1999, a year in which there was a great deal of fear about Y2K. What do you remember about the feeling of that time?

  • Technology is a common foil (or “supreme evil”) in contemporary apocalyptic media. Does that resonate with you at all? Do you see something else as being a greater threat to human existence?

You can email tony.coleman@firstcongo.com for Sue’s address. See you there!
