Endside

Endside is a term that has emerged in discussions surrounding certain religious or spiritual movements, particularly those with an apocalyptic or millenarian focus. It refers to the final period of time before a prophesied major event, often perceived as the end of the current world order or the beginning of a new era. The concept of an "endside" is characterized by a sense of urgency, anticipation, and sometimes anxiety. Believers may interpret contemporary events as signs that the end is near, leading to heightened religious fervor and a reevaluation of their lives and practices.

The specific characteristics attributed to the "endside" can vary significantly depending on the particular belief system. Some may foresee widespread societal collapse, natural disasters, or spiritual conflict, while others might emphasize a period of intense spiritual awakening or divine intervention. The idea often implies a transition to a fundamentally different state of existence, whether that be a heavenly kingdom, a renewed earth, or a spiritual transformation. Understanding the "endside" requires examining the specific eschatological beliefs of the groups that employ the term. It is not a universally recognized term but rather one that arises within specific interpretive frameworks of prophecy and time.
