  4.4 Eschatology  
  Article 121-Eschatology  
  Canon 2751  
  Eschatology is a System of doctrines concerning final matters, such as death and in particular the study of the end times — the end of the world. It is a fundamental element of faith for several Religions and Cults including Judaism, Christianity and Islam.  
  Canon 2752  
  Despite their differences, many Religions and Cults share common signs and prophecies for the coming End of Days, including:  
  (i) The end of time as we know it; and  
  (ii) A period of great global tribulation; and  
  (iii) A Messiah will come; and  
  (iv) Great knowledge will come; and  
  (v) The coming of a one-world religious system; and  
  (vi) The coming of a unified political system; and  
  (vii) The Kingdom of God will be established on Earth; and  
  (viii) Jerusalem will be renewed and a central international city; and  
  (ix) All of the dead will rise again; and  
  (x) Death and evil will be conquered.  
  Canon 2753  
  The most fundamental Jewish End Times Prophecies have already been outlined as common End Times Prophecies shared by both Christianity and Judaism. However, Judaism shares one clear and unmistakable difference in End Times prophecy in that Judaism does not believe Jesus was the Messiah foretold in their scripture. The second major difference is the emphasis on the positive aspect of the End of Days in the Olam Ha-Ba meaning “World to Come”.  
  Canon 2754  
  The most fundamental Christian End Times Prophecies have already been outlined as common End Times Prophecies shared by both Christianity and Judaism. However, Christianity differs from Judaism in terms of substantial additional prophecies and whether some prophecies have or have not yet been fulfilled.  
  Canon 2755  
  The biggest differences of End Time Prophecies are not to be found between Judaism, Islam and Christianity, but between the various Christian sects and themselves. Older sects such as Catholicism take a non-literal approach to the fulfillment of prophetic signs of the End of Days. Whereas much younger sects such as Evangelicals, Mormons and Jehovah’s Witnesses have adopted a more literal approach to interpreting signs of End Times.  
  Canon 2756  
  In the case of younger Christian sects such as the Evangelicals, Mormons and Jehovah’s Witnesses, all have been active in re-writing their own interpretations and beliefs of End Times Prophecies on top of common Christian Prophecy- the most notable being the concept of the Rapture an idea created less than 200 years old that is now considered a common Christian End Times Prophecy. The following are the most commonly accepted Christian End Times Prophecies including:  
  (i) The anti-Christ; and  
  (ii) The Rapture; and  
  (ii) The Day of Judgment; and  
  (iv) The Beast and 666  
  Canon 2757  
  The first and most distinctive difference between Jewish and Christian End Times philosophy is the Christian notion of the anti-Christ. In popular Christian belief, the anti-Christ is considered the adversary of the Messiah, the “evil one” that must be overcome before peace shall reign on Earth.  
  Canon 2758  
  The second distinct difference between Judaism and Christianity is the belief in the concept of “Rapture”- a supernatural event first raised as an idea less than 200 years ago whereby true believers are somehow transported to safety during the great tribulation, but then united with God, the Earth and the Messiah when the Messianic age begins.  
  Canon 2759  
  While Judaism appears to share the notion of a Day accounting for ones actions with Christianity, in truth the Prophecy of Judgment Day in Christian belief is when each and every person (alive or dead) is Judged without being allowed to plead for ones case and then either allowed to Heaven or condemned to an eternity of torment and misery.  
  Canon 2760  
  The fourth distinct and common Christian theme concerning the end times is the existence of a powerful collective force known as “the Beast” which originally meant both animal, fool or idiot. This force of fools or “idiots” known as the “beast” will be marked so that none shall buy or sell without the mark- a number of three parts 6+6+6 or cestui+cestui+cestui, the deliberate system of three cestui que vie trusts set up by 1933 to deprive all the people of the world of their rights.
