What does the Bible say about the end of the world?
Answered in 2 sources
The Bible teaches that there will be an end to this world, as stated in Matthew 24:14, where Jesus says, 'and then shall the end come.'
In Matthew 24, Jesus speaks extensively about the end of the world and the signs that will precede it. He warns His disciples about various events, including wars, famines, and false prophets, indicating that these occurrences are a part of God's sovereign plan leading to the end. Importantly, Jesus emphasizes that the exact timing of His return is known only to the Father (Matthew 24:36), reminding believers to be vigilant and prepared for His coming. The ultimate aim is not just to decipher when the end will come, but to focus on the return of Jesus himself and the hope of eternal life through Him.
