Product Description
This book presents eight Legends of the End: Hindu, Buddhist, Zoroastrian, Jewish, Christian, Muslim, Hopi and Lakota. When these stories are placed side-by-side, great differences and amazing similarities appear - similarities both in broad outlines and in minute details.
Every spiritual tradition must include both a story of the first Beginning and a myth of the final End - the end of the earth, of the universe, of time itself. In relation to this End, the secular worldview limits us to the perspective of Fear; the fear of the end of life, the dissolution of matter. But in the Spiritual worldview, the fear of the material disaster is swallowed up in the unveiling of eternal Truth. Apocalypse means 'revelation'.
In light of these eight Legends of the End the author presents a penetrating spiritual meditation on the meaning of the End. Without a grasp of this meaning, to date the End is impossible. With such a grasp, even the most accurate dating is irrelevant: to know the meaning of the End of Days is already to be beyond it.

| Short Description | This work analyzes the 'legends of the end' of eight traditions. It compares their differences and similarities.
