Eschatology (7)
In Matt 25:46 the same word describes the duration of both, the bliss of the saints and the penalty of the wicked. If the latter is not, properly speaking, unending, neither is the former; and yet many of those who doubt eternal punishment, do not doubt everlasting bliss.

The verdict of the final judgement is declared in advance for those who belong to Jesus Christ, and on the day of judgement that verdict will be proclaimed to the world.

In mid-nineteenth century Protestant Ontario, millenarianism raised its head again in the form of the exported Irvingite movement (named after the English millenial preacher Edward Irving) and in the even more disruptive Millerites -followers of the converted American deist William Miller (by this point a Baptist), whose detailed calculations from biblical prophecy had him predicting the end of the world in the years 1843 or 1844, followed by a literal millennial (that is, thousand-year) reign. This eventually led to the founding of the Seventh Day Adventist church. This was quickly followed in the 1860s by the dispensationalist millennial crusade of J.N. Darby and C.I. Schofield, a movement emerging from the Plymouth Brethren in EnglandMission of God, 85
Prior to 1914, many liberal Protestants believed that God was intimately involved in earthly affairs, and was guiding the faithful in creating the Kingdom of God on earth through the teachings of Jesus and the movements of the Holy Spirit. During the 1920s and 1930s, however, the twin realities of war and economic depression had raised fresh questions about whether these claims were true.The United Church of Canada, 59
