A reflection
The Bible teaches that the end times are marked by significant events and upheavals, including the spread of the Gospel as a testimony to all nations before the end comes (Matthew 24:14). There will be signs of great tribulation, and believers are encouraged to look up, as their redemption approaches (Luke 21:28). Ultimately, a new heaven and a new earth will be established, replacing the current world that has passed away (Revelation 21:1).

Where traditions read it
- Catholic
- The Catholic tradition emphasizes the eventual renewal of the world and the hope of eternity, affirming that Jesus will return to judge the living and the dead, thus establishing the final kingdom, as discussed by writers like Cyril of Jerusalem.
- Orthodox
- The Orthodox tradition similarly acknowledges a coming judgment and a new creation, focusing on Christ's return in glory at the end of the world as a time of renewal and the ultimate fulfillment of God's promises.
- Protestant
- Many within the Protestant tradition hold to a belief in a future tribulation leading to Christ's return, where the message of the Gospel must reach all nations before the end, reflecting views like those shared by Matthew Henry.
