The Bible teaches that the current age will come to a close, with Jesus Christ returning to judge the world. According to Matthew 24, no one knows the exact timing of this event, not even the angels, and believers are exhorted to remain vigilant and prepared. As Matthew 24:13 and 24:42 emphasize, perseverance and watchfulness are essential for enduring until the end. Meanwhile, 1 John 5:19 notes that the whole world is under the evil one, highlighting the need for spiritual awareness and discernment in the face of coming judgment. Jesus' return will bring an end to the present order.
