Jesus in the gospels teaches us that we must discern the signs of the times: "Look at the fig tree and all the trees. When they sprout leaves, you can see for yourselves and know that summer is near. Even so, when you see these things happening, you know that the kingdom of God is near." Luke 21:29-31.
We must live in the grace of God, with works of righteousness and mercy, be prepared and attentive, because humanity is in an intermediate state between good and evil, and sin must end with the arrival of a kingdom that cannot be destroyed and will be eternal according to the prophet Daniel: "The God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed, nor will it be left to another people. It will crush all those kingdoms and bring them to an end, but it will itself endure forever" Book of Daniel 2:44.
As the parable of the ten virgins (Matthew 25:1-13) teaches us, we must be spiritually prepared on the path of piety and not live distrusting others, because the times are near.
The eschatological hope will be consummated, and the end of the suffering and oppression of humanity will conclude with the second coming of our Lord, the apostle Peter explains in his second letter:
"But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything done in it will be laid bare.
Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to live holy and godly lives as you look forward to the day of God and speed its coming. That day will bring about the destruction of the heavens by fire, and the elements will melt in the heat. But in keeping with his promise we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, where righteousness dwells" 2 Peter 3:10-13.
