The Apocalypse and the End of the "Duality"

In Christianity, the Book of Revelation speaks of an Apocalypse that signifies the ultimate confrontation between good (God, Christ, angels, etc.) and evil (Satan, the Beast, the forces of darkness). However, in a psychological-political context, this prophecy can be understood not as a literal battle, but as a metaphor for a collapse of dualities—the structures that maintain the division between good and evil.

At the heart of Christian eschatology is the concept that "the end times" will bring a new understanding of truth—the unveiling of things as they truly are, beyond human constructs of morality. This is akin to Nietzsche's idea of "beyond good and evil", where the prevailing moral framework collapses under the weight of its contradictions. The last judgment, in this view, becomes the final reckoning with the mental categories that have dominated human consciousness.

In this sense, Armageddon can be seen as the moment when the “knowledge of good and bad”—the deeply ingrained binary system of thinking—loses its power to divide reality, forcing a reconciliation with the complexity and interconnectedness of all things. The world is no longer divided into sinners and righteous but is understood as a whole, with every action and every moment flowing within a larger system that transcends dualities.

Prophetic Outcome: The end of the rigid structure of good and bad marks the beginning of a new understanding—a unity beyond duality, where humanity must adapt to an existence that no longer relies on the strict separation of right and wrong.

From Nietzsche's perspective, the end of days is not a prophecy of divine intervention but rather a philosophical shift: the transition from a slave morality (defined by the need to differentiate good and bad) to a master morality (defined by the affirmation of life, individual will, and self-overcoming). In this scenario, the Knowledge of Good and Bad is the very thing that must be transcended for humanity to move forward.

Nietzsche speaks of the "eternal return"—the idea that life repeats itself infinitely, without any ultimate meaning or division. In a world governed by the eternal return, there are no fixed moral categories; everything is in a constant state of flux and transformation. Good and bad are no longer objective truths but subjective judgments that humans place on the world. The death of God is symbolic of the end of the absolute moral authority that once imposed this binary understanding on humanity.

For Nietzsche, the end of days is thus a psychological transformation, where the individual must break free from the shackles of good and evil and embrace chaos, contradiction, and the full complexity of life. The traditional religious framework of judgment and finality gives way to a more fluid, creative existence—one that is not bound by morality but instead driven by the will to power and the affirmation of life.

Prophetic Outcome: The end of days as seen through Nietzsche’s lens is the end of moral duality itself—an awakening to the infinite complexities of existence, where human beings must find meaning not in fixed moral codes but in their own ability to create and affirm their existence.

In Buddhism and Taoism, the Knowledge of Good and Bad is seen as a form of attachment—a mental construct that divides the world and causes suffering. In both traditions, the ultimate goal is to transcend these dualities, achieving a state of non-attachment and acceptance of the present moment, as it is. Here, the end of days is less about a destructive event and more about the end of the illusion of dualities—the ultimate awakening.

In Buddhism, the concept of samsara (the cycle of birth, death, and rebirth) is driven by the attachments to desire and the judgment of experiences as good or bad. The end of days in a Buddhist sense is the end of ignorance—the point at which the mind is no longer divided into good and bad, right and wrong, but instead sees reality as it truly is: impermanent, interconnected, and fluid.

Similarly, in Taoism, the Tao represents the flow of the universe, a force that is neither good nor bad but simply is. The Taoist sage seeks to align with the Tao, living in harmony with the natural order, without being concerned with moral judgments. In the Taoist view, the end of days is simply a return to natural flow, where the rigid conceptions of good and bad are relinquished, and one is able to move freely in the world, without the constraints of moral binaries.

Prophetic Outcome: The end of days in these traditions is a return to wholeness, a restoration of balance where good and bad no longer define reality. Instead, life is accepted as it comes, in all its contradictions, without the need for resolution or judgment. The true outcome is a shift in consciousness, where the individual can live in harmony with the flow of existence.

When we view the Ending Days not as a literal war or destruction, but as a psychological-political transformation, the Knowledge of Good and Bad becomes the central issue that needs to be addressed. Prophecies across various traditions suggest that the world must come to terms with the reality of moral and ideological conflict—a moment when the rigid distinctions that once structured societies (such as good vs. evil, right vs. wrong) will no longer hold.

In a psychological sense, this represents a revolution of the mind—an awakening to the understanding that moral certainty is a trap. In a political sense, it represents the collapse of the structures that uphold these binaries, giving way to new ways of organizing societies, relationships, and governance that are no longer bound by absolute categories of good and bad.

The outcome is not a destructive conflict, but a creative rebirth, where individuals and societies move beyond the constraints of moral binaries and embrace a more nuanced, fluid approach to life, where coexistence and interconnectedness replace division and judgment. This transformation requires both individual practice (such as meditation, mindfulness, or personal introspection) and collective change (in politics, culture, and social systems) to transcend the limitations of the Knowledge of Good and Bad.

Final Outcome: The end of days is not an end at all, but a beginning—the dissolution of a moral framework that no longer serves the complexity of human experience. The new world emerges not from a violent clash, but from a shift in consciousness—one where people no longer need to fight over definitions of good and bad but can live in the recognition that all things are interconnected, impermanent, and ever-changing.

In this world, the categories of good and bad are no longer shackles that define us; they are simply tools to understand and navigate the flow of existence, without being trapped by them. This is the true meaning of the Ending Days: the end of binary thinking, and the beginning of a more integrated, compassionate, and dynamic existence.
