Christian Eschatology is commonly understood as things pertaining to the end times. Things like end of human history as seen now, the resurrection of the living and the dead, the judgement of the world by Christ.
The New Testament is very focused and grounded in eschatology. Christian Eschatology is related to Christ, How God knows the end from the beginning, how he promised and fulfilled his promise in Christ form the ground for how he will fulfill his promised reserved for the end times.
According to Jurgenn Multmann, "Eschatology is the passionate suffering and passionate longing kindled by the Messiah. Hence eschatology cannot really be only a part of Christian doctrine. Rather, the eschatological outlook is characteristic of all Christian proclamation, of every Christian existence and of the whole Church." (The Theology of Hope. New York: Harper, 1967.)
