Endtimes
The term "End Times," often referred to as "Last Days" or "Last Times" in biblical texts, encompasses the prophetic periods leading up to the return of Jesus Christ and the final judgment. This concept is grounded in various passages throughout both the Old and New Testaments. For instance, in the New Testament, Matthew 24 and the Book of Revelation provide vivid descriptions of the signs and events that will precede the second coming of Christ. Key elements include natural disasters, moral decay, and the rise of false prophets (Matthew 24:4-14), culminating in the establishment of God’s kingdom.In the Old Testament, prophetic books like Daniel and Ezekiel also hint at a time of tribulation followed by restoration and divine judgment (Daniel 12:1-3). The term "End Times" encompasses a theological understanding that reflects God’s ultimate sovereignty over history, culminating in the fulfillment of His promises. This anticipation of the End Times serves as a call to vigilance and moral living for believers, as seen in 1 Thessalonians 5:1-2, where Paul encourages the church to be prepared for the day of the Lord, which will come unexpectedly like a thief in the night.
