endtimers

Endtimers is a term used to describe individuals or groups who believe that current events signal the imminent onset of the End Times, a concept found in various religious and secular eschatologies. In Christian contexts, end-times belief is associated with premillennial, dispensational, and other forms of eschatology in which prophecies in sacred texts are read as predictions of future events leading to divine judgment or the return of a messianic figure. Adherents may interpret geopolitical crises, wars, natural disasters, or moral decline as fulfillments of prophecy and may feel compelled to prepare for or respond to a coming catastrophe.

Endtimers can range from individual believers who focus on spiritual preparation to organized groups that advocate specific actions, such as survivalism, evangelism, or political activism. Some communities emphasize prayer and moral reform, while others adopt survivalist or separatist practices, and in some cases, groups may isolate themselves from broader society.

In academic and media contexts, the label endtimers is used to describe those who frame contemporary events as prophetic signs or who promote apocalyptic worldviews. Scholars study end-times beliefs as part of apocalypticism, millennialism, and doomsday movements, noting the variety of interpretations and social implications, while avoiding endorsement or stigmatization of individuals.
