| | Eschatology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The decline of Buddhism in the world, and its eventual re-establishment by Maitreya, are in keeping with the general shape of Buddhist cosmology. | | | In Norse mythology Ragnarok ("fate of the gods") is the battle during the end of the world waged between the gods (the Æsir, led by Odin) and the evils (the fire giants, the Jotuns and various monsters, led by Loki). | | | The belief in the decline and dissapearance of Buddhism in the world has exerted significant influence in the development of Buddhism since the time of the Buddha. |

| | World Religion Percentages |
| | Some religions have doctrines claiming that 'chosen' or 'worthy' members of the one true faith (of the same religious doctrine) will be "spared" from the coming destruction, and be ushered into paradise, as a reward for their struggles on earth. | | | In such religions, the unworthy (the unfaithful, or ''those of other religions'') are usually said to face an eternity in hell, fruitless spiritual wandering, or annihilation. | | | Major world religions have been distinguished from minor religions using a variety of methods, though any such division naturally reflects a particular bias, since many adherent of a religion are likely to consider their own faith "major". |

| | Jewish eschatology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The world will continue as it is. The prophet Isaiah predicted "The wolf shall live with the sheep, the leopard shall lie down with the kid." This, however, is merely allegory, meaning that the Jews will live safely, even with the formerly wicked nations. | | | Since most Christians believe that Jesus was himself God incarnate, their understanding of the messiah as a Davidic king is often overshadowed by their understanding of Jesus as the revelation of God to humanity. | | | While Maimonides describes an entirely spiritual existence for souls, which he calls "disembodied intellects," Nahmanides discusses an intensely spiritual existence on Earth, where spirituality and physicality are merged. |

| | There is no end of the world, but there is also nothing instructive about how we should then live and we are given no new possibilities for survival. | | | The undecidable nature of the end of the world is reflected in one of the additions to the Markan Gospel that is found in Matthew 24:40‑41, a text precisely concerned with what is “left” after the apocalypse: | | | The two‑fold repetition of “one is taken, and one is left” carries, in the various gospel traditions, a first‑level meaning in which being “taken” is preferable to being “left”: those taken are spared the tribulations associated with the end of the world (cf. |

| | End |
| | Nevertheless, many current world processes such as the overpopulation of our planet, the catastrophic pollution of the environment, the depletion of the earth's resources, and the fulfillment of many prophecies of Holy Scripture hint that the last days of our world may truly be not so far away. | | | Unheard of before the 19th century, this belief has it that during the "great tribulation" near the end of the world (either before or after the millennium, according to various versions), true Christians will be raptured into the air to escape the sufferings of those who remain on earth. | | | With the end of persecutions and paganism in the beginning of the 4th Century, the faith of Christians began to cool, and with this the expectations of the Second Coming of Christ became more serene and relaxed. |
