Jewish eschatology
Overview
Jewish eschatology is the area of Jewish theology concerned with events that will happen in the end of days and related concepts. This includes the ingathering of the exiled diaspora, the coming of the Jewish Messiah, the afterlife, and the resurrection of the dead. In Judaism, the end times are usually called the "end of days" (Hebrew: אַחֲרִית הַיָמִים, romanized: ʾaḥărît hayyāmîm), a phrase that appears throughout the Tanakh. These beliefs have evolved over time, and according to some scholars there is evidence of Jewish belief in a personal afterlife with reward or punishment referenced in the Torah.
