An endlessly preached notion that life as we know is about to be over with, by the means of some worldwide or even universal cataclysmic event.


This concept is one of the most common in prophetic literature, especially in the apocalyptical literature of Judaism and Christianity.


The End of the World. The term can denote either the end of the physical world (cosmos) or the end of the social order (aeon). The theological term
eschatology refers to teachings about the ‘‘last things,’’ (from the Greek eschaton). Eschatology includes a consideration not only of the destiny of the world but of the individual (death, judgment, heaven, hell).


The most dramatic form of eschatology is apocalypticism. The apocalyptic vision views the world as essentially on a downward path. It will soon reach such a negative state that divine powers will intervene and bring the present order to an end.

     
           

The End of the World...

     
 
 		  


Mythmakers equally tried to explain the end of life and the world. The flood legends were one way of telling how the Earth was once destroyed — at least all life forms with the exception of a few survivors. In some American Indian myths the end of the world recurred in a cycle, followed by a new creation.


According to ancient Aztec tradition, there had already been four destructions of the world, and a fifth was expected. Each world was ruled by a sun whose vanishing marked each ending. Some mythologies blamed such catastrophic ends of the world on human wickedness.


The apocalyptical concept of the end of the world and the Antichrist figure have analogies in pre-Christian religions, such as Iranian mythology of the final conflict between Ahura Mazda and Ahriman. However, it is within the Jewish and Christian traditions that apocalyptic enthusiasm has been most notable.
