What does the Bible say about the end of all things?

Answered in 8 sources

The Bible states that the end of all things is near, as noted in 1 Peter 4:7, indicating a significant change in God's redemptive plan.

In 1 Peter 4:7, the Apostle Peter asserts, 'The end of all things is near.' This statement, made nearly 2,000 years ago to Jewish believers, references the impending judgment and destruction of Jerusalem. Peter was preparing believers for the transition from the old covenant, centered around the temple and the Jewish nation, to the new covenant established through Christ. This implies the end of the religious practices tied to the temple and the old ways of worship, as Christ’s fulfillment of the law signifies a new order in which worship is no longer confined to certain places or rituals. Therefore, the phrase emphasizes the urgency for believers to remain vigilant and focused on their faith as the change in covenant unfolds.
