The fact that the world would one day come to
an end was believed in the minds of the disciples.

In the New Testament we see the appearance
of a people who are given a very special destiny.
These people are called "Christians" who believe
in Jesus as the Christ, their Messiah.

They are who have become the "Church"....
Those who the Father has made Jesus the head
over. Also known as "the body of Christ."

"And hath put all things under his feet, and gave
him to be the head over all things to the church,
Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth
all in all. " Ephesians 1:21-23
