What does the Bible say about the end of days?
Bible Topic · WEB
The Bible teaches that the last days will be marked by widespread sin, deception, scoffing, suffering for believers, and the certain return of Christ, calling us to faith, watchfulness, and steadfast hope. 2 Timothy 3:1-5 and 2 Peter 3:3-4 describe moral rebellion and mockery of God's promises, while 1 John 5:19 reminds us that the world lies under evil's influence. Jesus says in Matthew 24:36 and 24:42 that the precise day is unknown, so His people must remain ready, praying as Luke 21:36 urges. Though the way is narrow (Matthew 7:13-14) and trials come (1 Peter 4:12-19), Christ comforts His disciples in John 14:1 and preserves those who trust Him.
