The early church fathers above designated in regal purple are given as a guide. These are especially recommended for quality and quantity of detail in the subject of end time prophecy.
One of our most important resources for understanding end time prophecy is to know what the early church understood concerning the end times and the second coming of Jesus Christ. These early church fathers of whom some were living while the Apostles were still alive and other church fathers shortly thereafter, are indispensable to knowing the Apostles teaching. This section designed as a point focused reference guide to help the end time prophecy student see what was taught by the early church concerning end time prophecy. Being abridged, we included all and only the portions concerning and specific to end times ... and only from the early fathers. By finding and collecting just the portions that are specific to the subject of prophecy, we endeavored to save the prophecy student much work and time from having to sift through the many other pages if having to read through the entire works. Our goal was to make the study of prophecy from the fathers succinct, organized, and more direct. However, along with this handy streamlined collection, it is also recommended that the writings be read in their entirety and can be done so here: Early Christian Writings and at New Advent.
