As this question was placed in the "Mormonism" category, I think it is only fitting that a Mormon [LDS] perspective is also given on it: In certain senses, "time" is only known to this earth life, as it is our bodies which are limited in time - which is also a limited condition. As our spirits are eternal, it would not be unreasonable to believe they enter 'eternity' after this life. Having said as much, however, repentance could not exist unless a time element were involved ... and it is the LDS belief that we continue to grow, learn and change/repent after this life. However, once we meet with Judgment Day, where, by then, all will have been resurrected and finished their work, we will stand before the Bar of God and there account for all our doings, and ultimately be consigned a "place" in the eternal realm Forever. So, in that snese, you might say, "it is the end of time at Judgment Day". Nobody knows when the end of time will be. I personally do not believe that it will be anytime in my lifetime or yours.

∙ 8y agoThe end of times must have been an Indo-Iranian concept, because it figures prominantly in Zoroastrian and Hindu beliefs from the earliest times. At some stage, the concept entered Judaic belief and the "War Scrolls", found amongst the Dead Sea Scolls at Qumran, refers to the battle that the Essenes believed will occur at the end of times.
The end of times are also mentioned quite frequently in The Bible, but only the first of the New Testament gospels, the Gospel According to St Mark, attempted to give a specific date for this to happen.
The author of the Gospel According to St Mark predicted the end of times within the lifetime of Jesus' contemporaries, and probably about 70 CE. Mark 13:2 first has Jesus predict the destruction of the Temple, "And Jesus answering said unto him, Seest thou those great buildings? There shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down." According to Mark (13:24-26), Jesus went on later to tell the disciples that they would personally experience social turmoil and persecution, there would be earthquakes and "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, "Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things be done." An oblique reference to the Book of Daniel implies that the predicted end of times would occur within about four years of the destruction of the Temple.
Subsequent gospels, written after 74 CE, referred more generally to the end of times (parousia) but placed it somewhere in the indefinite future.
