How Eschatology impact the Church and Christians

Eschatology is the study of what is to happen in the end times. The future and final events include the Second Coming, Millennialism, Tribulation and Final States.
How the Church and Christians interpret and understand Eschatology determines how life is to be lived. This is because:
‘The future condition of the human individual is largely determined by the decisions made in this present life. These decisions affect the outcome for each individual for all eternity.’ Erickson
Knowing the ultimate purpose of mankind and the Church contributes to the living out purposeful lives on earth. However, it should be said that Eschatology shouldn’t be treated as blueprint (details), but it should be regarded as a ‘game plan’ (guidelines and parameters). Doctrinal issues and the different positions fit into place are mysteries only the omnipotent God will know.
