Finality

Finality in a biblical context refers to the ultimate conclusion of God's plan for creation, including the final judgment, the end of the age, and the establishment of God's eternal kingdom.

The early church lived in anticipation of Christ's return and the fulfillment of God's promises, often facing persecution and hardship, which shaped their understanding of finality.
