Ultimate fate of the universe. Eschatology (from the
Greek , Eschatos meaning "last" and
-logy meaning "the study of") is a part of
theology and
philosophy concerned with the final events in the
history of the world, or the ultimate
destiny of
humanity, commonly referred to as the
end of the world. While in
mysticism the phrase metaphorically refers to the end of ordinary reality and reunion with the Divine, in many traditional
religions it is taught as an actual future event
prophesied in
sacred texts or
folklore. More broadly, eschatology may encompass related concepts such as the
Messiah or
Messianic Age, the
end time, and the
end of days.
