Does, or can, our eschatological beliefs have an effect on our soteriology?

[Carbon]

More specifically, can our prophetic interpretation influence or condition our understanding of salvation by faith?

Don’t each eschatological system have their own form of hermeneutical methods? I believe they do and effect how we understand scripture in general.

Can our view affect the way we view and understand God’s wrath on Christ at the cross?

I few thoughts to start with this.
In dispensationalism, God has two plans for to peoples.
One plan for Israel and another for the church.
I believe looking at the cross in the dipsy way could influence one’s beliefs on this. Are the sacrifices something that will, after Christ returns be re-established in the 1000-year earthly millennium?
Or, we’re these sacrifices types and shadows, which are fulfilled in Christ?

In general I would say "no" but there bound to be some exception .... ...

...
most people definition of 'salvation by faith' varies if you ask them to get specific which makes the question even more complex ... and what exactly does "effect on our soteriology" mean ... does it mean we are not saved if our faith includes some bogus eschatological belief ... hard to believe that would be so.

....

... I don't think someone's eschatological beliefs would have much effect on their soteriology ... maybe someone else can think of something.

I should think our soteriology would have more effect on our eschatology than the other way around. However, as rabid as some get in their eschatology, I can see them abandoning both reason and scripture in their support of their particular notions, and thus, their soteriology is skewed.

One twist I don't like is that "the tribulation" is seen as the act of God taking wrath on the world--as though it was to be inserted in Rom 3. For one thing it puts way too much emphasis on the 'right' scenario, and it rather reduces the thing to what can be visualized from a set of confusing visuals from the Rev, as though the event could be confined to the locality of earth. If an individual dies right before said "tribulation" then they go through the whole thing in an entirely different manner, making the need for such Rev detail a bit tenuous.

Nor is the "tribulation" complete--at either end of history. For one thing, Rom 3 said God overlooked sin in the (Paul's) past, but now has punished it in Christ--not in the future. For another, there is all that punishment of sin as future events, so what did Christ accomplish? For another, the golden age millenium comes, but there is still evil that has to be vanquished at the end of it. So what was accomplished?
