Introduction

The study of the religious beliefs that are related to death and the end of the world or regarding the final destiny of the human beings is known as Eschatology. The word Eschatology is originated from a Greek word which originally means the study of the last things and the study of the end of the world. It is a common believe in Christianity that a human being is made up from the mixture of material and non material things. After the death, the body will be decomposed but the soul and spirit will become immortal and it will go to the heaven or to hell according to the deeds. Other believes include that the soul and the spirit of the human beings remains in an intermediate stage until the physical body is not awaken again. It is also indicated in the Bible that the material part of the human will be awaken again and then it will remain eternal in combination with the soul and spirit.

Theme

The book indicates that there will be a Godly judgment after the end of the times and after the judgment the people with good deeds will go to heaven and the people with bad deeds will be burned in the lake of fire. It is further believed by the Christians that Jesus will return one day to rule over earth and will create a new earth and a heaven for the good people and a lake of fire for the bad ones and those times will remain forever. These all are some basic believes that are accepted by all evangelical Christians (Zukeran, P. 2010 p.2-3).

As a Christian it is the righteous duty to take care of the humanity and fight for justice if someone is so week to fight for himself.

In the verses of Bible, Lord has ordered us that as a Christian you must help the stranger in need, give clothes to the naked, offer water or food to the thirsty or hungry person, and take care of the sick. In a verse of Matthews 24:43-46, if you do not offer your service to any of those in need, it means you did not help your Lord, as a person in need is a reflection of your Lord. You will be answerable for your ignorance towards the needy person (King James, 2013).
