end times
Prophesied world's conclusion
End times refers to the prophesied final period of history, particularly in Christian eschatology—the era preceding the Second Coming of Christ, marked by tribulation, catastrophe, and divine judgment.
The term appears in discussions of apocalyptic belief: Preachers warned that current events signaled the end times.
More loosely, end times describes any period of perceived civilizational collapse or existential threat: Climate change has people talking about the end times.
