Jewish_Escahtology

Jewish Escahtology Outline Jewish eschatology referring to the three main principles; the afterlife; the Messianic age and the Moshiach Eschatology refers to the expectation of the end of time and eventual human demise. This broad definition includes possibilities such as the end of the human world or physical earth or even the transfer of earth into heaven or vice-versa. The cause of this is usually viewed as being divine, transcendent or supernatural. Therefore the question of eschatology varies between different religions. Jewish eschatology relies heavily on the Tenach, in particular the Pentateuch, but as there is not much dogma about these issues there is also much room for personal interpretation. The Afterlife Judaism firmly believes that death is not the end of human existence. However, Judaism is predominantly focused on how to live life at the present rather than in the future therefore there is limited information about the topic. Because of this there are many different views on the afterlife that have been established by different people. Many Orthodox Jews believe that the souls of the righteous dead go to a place similar to the Christian heaven while others believe that everyone simply waits for the coming of the Messiah when they moshiach, people, jewish, olam, ha-ba, messianic, come, world, time, righteous, judaism, however, while, king, jews, belief, age, afterlife, therefore, spiritual, referred, person, israel, different, dead, concept, believe, wicked, torah, place, one, live, life, human, exist, eschatology
