Eschatology, or the study of the end times, is a real hot potato topic with plenty of differing views. All sorts of major battles have been waged over these issues. I consider the subject to be important but secondary. We need to agree on primary truths such as the deity of Christ and the Triune nature of God, but I believe that there is room to move when it comes to how we understand what the Bible has to say about future events.
I have already written on some of these topics before, and for those wanting some background on some of these issues, you might check out these articles:

The books listed here deal with such topics as: the Bible and the last days; prophecy and the end times; how to interpret prophecy; the millennium; the kingdom of God; dispensationalism; the rapture; Israel and the church, etc. Unfortunately I have not divided the books up by the various views, but many of the titles will give you an indication where the author is coming from.
