end times
This term carries a heavy theological and apocalyptic weight, typically associated with eschatology in Abrahamic religions. It evokes a sense of inevitable doom, divine judgment, and the culmination of human history. Because of its strong religious ties, using it in a secular context often implies a hyperbolic or dramatic tone, suggesting a total systemic collapse rather than a literal biblical event.
Grammatically, this is a plural-only noun phrase. It does not have a singular form like "end time" when referring to the apocalyptic era. It functions as a collective temporal concept and is almost always used with the definite article "the" to specify the unique period of finality.
