Welcome to @Science-God
Delve deep into the intersection of Science and Faith,

to the very nature of the Creator Himself.

Hello, wonderful people, and welcome back to the channel!Â
Today, we’re exploring a topic that has captivated human imagination for centuries: the end times.Â
This subject, often referred to as eschatology in religious circles,Â
is actually a sub-branch of Philosophy.
Now, Philosophy is the study of the most fundamental questions
about reality, knowledge, and value.Â
It’s a rational, critical inquiry where we ask, answer,
and debate life’s biggest questions.
Different religions have unique perspectives
on what happens when the world as we know it comes to an end,
and today, we’re going to break it all down.Â
From the Second Coming in Christianity
to the concept of Nirvana in BuddhismÂ
 let’s explore what each tradition says about the
ultimate fate of the universe and our place in it.
I'm going to take you on a quick journey through the
end-time beliefs of several major religions.
7 World Religion's Eschatology:
Mormon,
Jehovah’s Witnesses,
Biblical Christianity.
Jewish,
Buddhist,
Islamic,
Hindu.
[Cut to text on screen: “Mormon Eschatology” with visuals like an image of a Mormon temple or related symbol]
Let’s start with the Mormons or members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
 For them, the Second Coming of Christ is always just around the corner –
it could happen anytime.Â
This event is not just about judgment but also about restoration.Â
Christ is expected to return, establish His kingdom on Earth,
and kick off what’s known as the Millennium –
a 1,000-year reign of peace and righteousness.Â
But first, there will be signs – wars, natural disasters, and increased wickedness.Â
And here’s the key: everyone will be resurrected.Â
The righteous will go first, and then, one by one, all of humanity.

Now, Jehovah’s Witnesses take a different approach.Â
They believe Jesus already came back... in 1914, but invisibly.Â
Since then, He's been ruling from heaven,
and they’re waiting for His visible return –
when He’ll come down, fight in the final battle of Armageddon,
and rid the world of the wicked.Â
Those who survive this battle will live in a paradise on Earth,
where they can enjoy eternal life.Â
But only a select few – 144,000 –
will be resurrected to live in heaven and rule with Christ.
[Transition to: “Biblical Christianity” with a cross or other Christian symbol on screen]
In broader Christianity, the Second Coming is also central –
but no one knows when it’ll happen.
Jesus is coming back to judge humanity,
restore the world, and establish His reign.Â
There’s also the idea of the Resurrection –
everyone, good and bad,
will be brought back to life.Â
After Christ’s return, He’ll reign for a thousand years
in what’s called the Millennium, a period of peace and restoration.Â
Some Christians also believe in the Rapture –
a moment where believers are taken up to heaven
before things get really rough during the Tribulation.
[Transition to: “Jewish Eschatology” with visuals like a Star of David or the Torah]
Now, in Judaism, the focus is on the Messianic Age,
a future era of peace, justice, and the fulfillment of God’s promises.Â
There’s a belief in the resurrection of the dead –
but this concept varies within different Jewish traditions.Â
Some branches emphasize the Torah
and good deeds as preparation for this future age.Â
In others, like Kabbalah, we get mystical ideas like tikkun olam –
repairing the world. It’s not about an imminent apocalypse,
but more about creating a better world in partnership with God.
[Transition to: “Buddhist Eschatology” with visuals like a Buddha statue or a calm nature scene]
Buddhism takes us in a completely different direction.Â
There's no final battle or cosmic destruction here.Â
Instead, the focus is on personal enlightenment and
breaking free from the cycle of rebirth, known as samsara.Â
The ultimate goal is Nirvana – a state beyond suffering and reincarnation.Â
Through karma, your actions in this life shape your next existence.Â
It’s less about an end of the world
and more about ending personal suffering and reaching enlightenment.
[Transition to: “Islamic Eschatology” with visuals of a crescent moon or a mosque]
In Islam, the end times are also a major theme.Â
It all starts with the Day of Judgment – a moment when everyone,
living and dead, will be resurrected and judged based on their deeds.Â
Those who lived righteous lives
will be rewarded with eternal life in Paradise, while others will face Hell.Â
Before this happens, though, Muslims believe in the return of Jesus,
who will defeat evil, represented by a figure known
as the Dajjal, or Antichrist, alongside the Mahdi – a prophesied leader.
[Transition to: “Hindu Eschatology” with visuals like images of Vishnu, Shiva, or the cycle of reincarnation]
Host: "And finally, we have Hindu eschatology,
which is incredibly rich and complex.Â
Unlike many Western religions, Hinduism views time as cyclical.Â
The universe goes through endless cycles of creation, preservation,
and destruction.Â
The gods Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva represent these phases.Â
After death, your soul is reincarnated, again and again,
until you break free through Moksha – spiritual liberation.Â
So, the end isn’t a final judgment
but more like hitting 'reset' on the cosmic cycle,
giving souls endless chances to evolve.
[Cut to: Host sitting in the same space, calm music playing]
So, there you have it.
Eschatology isn’t just about the apocalypse –
it’s about hope, judgment, rebirth, and the idea that,
in the end, there’s something more beyond this life.Â
Whether it’s the Second Coming, Nirvana, or the Messianic Age,
every tradition seems to agree on one thing:
what we do here and now matters.Â
It shapes our future, whether in this world or the next.
