End Of The World

The phrase "End of the World" is often interpreted in biblical contexts as referring to the culmination of human history and the final judgment instituted by God. In the New Testament, particularly in Matthew 24:3, the disciples ask Jesus about the signs of His coming and the "end of the age" (Greek: "sunteleia tou aionos"). This suggests a period of transition rather than a literal end of the physical world itself. The term conveys a sense of completion of God's redemptive plan and the establishment of His eternal kingdom, which is emphasized in passages such as Revelation 21:1, where John writes of a new heaven and a new earth.In the Old Testament, prophecies of the "day of the Lord" (e.g., Joel 2:31, Amos 5:18) also hint at a time of divine intervention characterized by judgment and restoration. This concept encompasses both the end of current worldly systems and the ushering in of God's reign. Thus, the "End of the World" represents not just a catastrophic conclusion but the fulfillment of God's promises and the establishment of a renewed creation where righteousness prevails.
