What does the Bible say about the end of the world?
Answered in 7 sources
The Bible describes the end of the world as the day the Lord returns to claim His people, bringing both comfort to believers and solemnity to unbelievers.
The Bible, particularly in 1 Thessalonians 4:15-18, articulates the moment when Christ will return from heaven with a shout and the voice of the archangel. This event marks the culmination of history and is a time of joyous reunion for believers as the dead in Christ will rise, followed by those who are still alive being transformed, all to meet the Lord in the air. This promise serves as a comfort to believers, reminding them of their eternal state with God, as opposed to the grim reality facing those who are not in Christ, who will experience eternal separation from light and life.
