What does the Bible say about end of the world?
Bible Topic · WEB
The Bible teaches that Christ will certainly return to judge the world, defeat evil, raise the dead, and bring God’s saving purposes to their final fulfillment, though the day and hour are known only to the Father. Jesus warns in Matthew 24:36 and Mark 13:32 against date-setting, while Matthew 24:5-28 and Luke 21:25-26 describe deception, tribulation, and fearful signs. Believers are called to watchfulness and prayer in Luke 21:36, not panic. Second Peter 3:10 declares that the day of the Lord will come unexpectedly, leading to renewal and righteous judgment. Revelation 20:1-15 portrays Christ’s final victory and the great white throne judgment. Until then, Christians should persevere in faith and godliness.
