Many religious cultural traditions including Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, and Christianity believe that there will be a period of tribulation before the world ends. Christians believe that this tribulation will end when Jesus returns to Earth, ends the current world order, and creates a new Heaven and Earth. However, they disagree on the events that will precede Jesus’s return. In Bible prophecy, the books of Daniel and Revelation provide the primary basis for Christians’ end time views.
The book of Revelation provides the primary description of the sequence of end time prophecy. The apostle John wrote this book about 95 A.D. with prophecies describing the end of the world. Christians have varying beliefs about the symbolic or literal nature of the prophecies as well as the timing of Christ’s second coming. Christians believe in a pre-tribulation, a mid-tribulation, or a post- tribulation rapture. This term refers to the time when Jesus returns to take his chosen people to Heaven — before, in the middle of, or after the tribulation period.
This variance of beliefs in Christian eschatology is because they have not established or agreed on rules to interpret apocalyptic prophecy. If there is no basis for interpreting apocalyptic prophecy, it is impossible for Christians to agree what lies ahead.

Wakristo wanaamini kwamba dhiki hii itakwisha wakati Yesu atakaporudi duniani, atakapomaliza utaratibu wa sasa wa ulimwengu, na kuunda Mbingu na Dunia mpya. Hata hivyo, wanatofautiana juu ya matukio yatakayotangulia kurudi kwa Yesu. Katika unabii wa Biblia, vitabu vya Danieli na Ufunuo hutoa msingi wa msingi wa maoni ya Wakristo ya wakati wa mwisho. Kitabu cha Ufunuo kinatoa maelezo ya msingi ya mfululizo wa unabii wa wakati wa mwisho. Mtume Yohana aliandika kitabu hiki karibu mwaka wa 95 baada ya Kristo, na alitoa unabii kuhusu mwisho wa ulimwengu. Wakristo wana itikadi tofauti-tofauti kuhusu asili ya mfano au ya kihalisi ya unabii huo na pia wakati wa kuja kwa Kristo kwa mara ya pili. Wakristo huamini katika kunyakuliwa kabla ya dhiki, katikati ya dhiki, au baada ya dhiki. Neno hili linarejelea wakati ambapo Yesu atarudi kuchukua watu wake waliochaguliwa kwenda Mbinguni <unk> kabla, katikati, au baada ya kipindi cha dhiki. Tofauti hii ya itikadi katika eschatology ya Kikristo ni kwa sababu hawajaanzisha au kukubaliana juu ya sheria za kutafsiri unabii wa apocalyptic. Ikiwa hakuna msingi wa kutafsiri unabii wa mwisho wa ulimwengu, ni vigumu kwa Wakristo kukubaliana juu ya kile kinachokuja.
