Eschatology-
In religion, the doctrines concerning the end of the world- i.e. death, what follows death, and the final destiny of the universe. Although all the world's religions hold belief systems about the ultimate doom of the world and the fate of the human soul, the term eschatology, (coined in the mid-19th century from the Greek for "last things"), is primarily applied to the end-time beliefs of the three Abrahamic religions: Judaism, Christianity and Islam.

While the term eschatology refers metaphorically to the end of time and God's final judgment, in the before-mentioned monotheistic religions the end-times are considered to be an actual future event which has been foretold in their corresponding religious text. These doctrines also claim that the "preferred" and "established" members of the “one true religion” will be delivered and spared from the horrible and apocalyptic wrath of God.

The Jewish concept of the end-time derives from Old Testament promises of a Hebrew Messiah, God's final judgment, the redemption of Israel, the Olam Haba (afterlife), and the ruthless punishment of God’s enemies. Christian eschatology revolves around the second coming of Christ, variously known as the Parousia, or Rapture. This resurrection of Jesus is seen as a prelude to the final battle between the forces of good and evil at Armageddon, and the subsequent ruthless punishment of its God’s enemies. In Islamic eschatology, allegorical figures from Judeo-Christian scripture appear in an end-time of destruction and chaos, when the earth will be laid to waste in fire and flood by the Satanic demons Gog and Magog. On the judgment day, Allah will weigh the souls of the dead and assign them to the garden of paradise or to a fiery hell. In other words, the ruthless punishment of its God’s enemies.

Additionally, there is also the concept of "realized eschatology," the view that states that equivalent traditional after-death conditions occur in our present life- i.e. God's judgment on our past is an everyday feature of life on earth.
