It’s fun to imagine good things coming, isn't it? Like birthdays, holidays, or even just the weekend! Well, guess what? The Bible also talks about the future! It has some amazing and exciting things to say about what God has planned for us and for the whole world. It’s like the Bible has its own special way of looking ahead to the future, and we call that special look… eschatology! Don't worry about the big word! It just means "talking about the future in the Bible." Over the next few lessons, we are going to become Future Explorers!

And lots more! It’s going to be like a treasure hunt, discovering all the amazing and hopeful things God has planned for us.
