☦️ Early Christianity - 'The Didache' and what it contains re: the end of the age, Christ's return.
The Didache describes the end of the world as a period of deception and trial, but also a time of hope for the faithful, with the return of Christ, resurrection, and the coming of God's kingdom. It warns of a rise in false prophets and a general increase in hatred before the final judgment. However, it also states that those who endure to the end will be saved and encourages believers to remain watchful and faithful.Signs of the End
Deception and apostasy: There will be a multiplication of false prophets and deceivers who lead many astray.
Increased hostility: The relationship between people will deteriorate, with "sheep being turned into wolves, and love being turned into hate". Lawlessness: The rise of lawlessness will be a precursor to the final events.
