What view did John Calvin and the other Reformers take on eschatology?

Summary

The sermon discusses the historical development of eschatological views, particularly in relation to John Calvin. Key scriptures like Matthew 16:18 and Romans 11 are referenced to illustrate Calvin's dominant theme of Christ's triumph and the church's assurance of salvation. The practical takeaway emphasizes that while precise historical categorization can be anachronistic, Calvin's overarching perspective points to an optimistic amillennial view, affirming God's sovereign plan for the church.
