In what book of the Bible does God tell of the end times?

Answer 1

The end times is not really a Jewish concept, so unambiguous mention of it can be found in the New Testament. The first real mention of the end of the world and the second coming of Jesus occurs in the Gospel of Mark, written approximately 70 CE when some of those alive in the time of Jesus would still be alive. Having given the destruction of the Jerusalem Temple as a sign of his imminent return, Mark 13:24-26 continues, "But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light and the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken and then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory." He concluded by saying that he would return within the lifetimes of some of his own generation: "Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things be done."

By the 80s of the first century, the time when Matthew's Gospel was written, the return predicted in Mark's Gospel was becoming unlikely - the generation had already passed - and the author of Matthew had to change the emphasis away from an impending end of the world. While copying as faithfully as possible from Mark, he changed the position of the sentence about "this generation", relative to the destruction of the great buildings, so that it referred to something else altogether. He added, and emphasised, material where Jesus told the disciples that the end is not yet, and that no man knows when the end of the world will occur. Then he added, in chapter 25, an elaborate description of the last judgement.

Luke's Gospel was even later than Matthew, generally believed to have been written either in the 90s of the first century or the first decade of the second century. The story from Mark has been further moderated to separate the prophecy of the destruction of Jerusalem from the story of the end of times, which Luke says will not be until after the disciples have spread the gospel.

Answer: Matthew 24:14 "And this good news of the Kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations then the end will come."
