End time
End time (also called end times, end of time, end of days, last days, final days, or eschaton) is a time period described in the eschatologies of the dominant world religions, both Abrahamic and non-Abrahamic.
The Abrahamic faiths maintain a linear cosmology, with end-time scenarios containing themes of transformation and redemption. In Judaism, the term "end of days" makes reference to the Messianic Age, and includes an in-gathering of the exiled diaspora, the coming of the Messiah, the resurrection of the righteous and the world to come. Some sects of Christianity depict the end time as a period of tribulation that precedes the second coming of Christ, who will face the emergence of the Antichrist and usher in the Kingdom of God. However, other Christians believe that the end time represents the personal tribulation experienced before they are enlightened with the Word of God.〔Chang Soppe, S.L. (2014) God's Mystery That Is Christ, Bloomington, IN: WestBow Press〕 In Islam, the Day of Judgement is preceded by the appearance of the Mahdi atop a white stallion. With the help of Isa (Jesus), the Mahdi will blow the triumph overMasih ad-Dajjal (the false messiah).
Non-Abrahamic faiths tend to have more cyclical world-views, with end-time eschatologies characterized by decay, redemption and rebirth. In Hinduism, end time is foretold as when Kalki, the final incarnation of Vishnu, descends atop a white horse and brings an end to the current ''Kali Yuga''. In Buddhism, the Buddha predicted that his teachings would be forgotten after 5,000 years, followed by turmoil. A ''bodhisattva'' named Maitreya will appear and rediscover the teaching of ''dharma''. The ultimate destruction of the world will then come through seven suns.
Since the discovery of deep time and the estimated age of the Earth, scientific discourse about end time has centered on the ultimate fate of the universe. Theories have included the Big Rip, Big Crunch, Big Bounce, and Big Freeze.
