Signs of the End Times	comment	How do we know that the End of the World as We Know It is approaching? By the warning signs that precede it, of course. Whether The Stars Are Going Out or a beast with seven heads rises out of the ocean, or just dogs and cats living together, everyone knows that something bad is about to happen. It's a sign of the end. Works that want to make biblical allusions will often use things from the Book of Revelation, although not always literally. Supertrope to The Stars Are Going Out and Crack in the Sky. Subtrope to Portent of Doom. May overlap with Bad Moon Rising, Comet of Doom or Natural Disaster Cascade. Compare Just Before the End. See also Apocalypse How, Caught Up in the Rapture and The End of the World as We Know It. For signs as in sandwich boards and posters, see The End Is Nigh. Not to be confused with Sign of the Apocalypse, a stock phrase used for humor. Also not to be confused with Jumping the Shark.

Dark Souls III goes even further: if the Flame is on the edge of death, past Lords of Cinder will be revived, and the Unkindled will rise from their graves.

Signs of the End Times / int_3de53cbc	comment	In the "present" (23rd century) of Pastwatch: The Redemption of Christopher Columbus, the world has already gone through an apocalypse that has reduced the population to 700,000,000 people and necessitated great efforts to replenish the earth to what it formerly was. An example of this is what spurs those on the Columbus Project to make the decision to change the past and obliterate their entire post-Columbus history and those who existed in it in favor of repairing the past and creating what turns out to be a better future. It turns out that despite their optimism and everything they've done, there are more people than the planet can support, North America is in the midst of a famine, crop production is going down, and no matter what is done, everything's going to go to shit, another Ice Age will come, and humanity will be plunged into the Stone Ages.

As Franklin Webb tracks the plague of super locusts devouring crops across the globe, his co-worker in the CIA offhandedly points out how they're threatening life on a biblical scale by disrupting the food chain. He points out it's only a matter of time before the "other plagues" follow suit, "darkness, rain of fire" the works. Towards the climax, both "plagues" come to pass with a Big Blackout followed by the super locusts (which the Big Bad tries to burn only for them to escape) falling from the sky in a rain of fire.

He's dead bloody serious about it, and immediately gets you on the case. Your contacts for the other factions don't make it explicit, but their reactions still imply it (the Dragon reports the Child waking up crying and birds divebombing windows, and the Illuminati reports alarms going off that your contact didn't even know existed and her bosses contacting her directly for the first time).

Signs of the End Times / int_6ac55ec7	comment	Dungeons & Dragons: The sourcebook Elder Evils makes heavy use of this. The book introduces nine Eldritch Abominations whose appearance is proceeded by the signs of upcoming apocalypse, which range from simply unnerving to as devastating as the actions of the being itself. The coming of Atropus, the World Born Dead, is heralded by a global increase in strength for necromancy, making it easier to raise the dead, but also harder to control them. Eventually, everyone who dies will be revived regardless of how they died. Father Llymic is hurt by light, so his coming is heralded by the sun (as well as all magical and mundane light) dimming, until it goes out completely and the Father arises. As the Hulks of Zoretha begin to stir, the moon turns red and intelligent beings become increasingly hateful and violent, eventually drowning the world in wars and riots once the Hulks fully awake. The Leviathan's waking is marked by violent weather, earthquakes, unnatural rains, and increasingly common sea monster attacks. As Pandorym comes closer to freedom, an increasingly complex and visible sigil appears in the sky, and it becomes increasingly difficult to contact the gods or summon extraplanar beings; neither of which are a direct result of Pandorym, but rather the Gods of the world trying to quarantine it in the Material Realm (which the book acknowledges won't work). As Sertrous returns to life, the earth vomits forth torrents of snakes. This begins with of normal snakes, but as the sign grows they're joined by serpentine monsters such as hydras and nagas. As his resurrection becomes imminent, the serpents grow more and more deformed — some have multiple heads, others are inside out, and others still are simply masses of coils with no ending or beginning. As Ragnorra approaches, healing, both natural and magical, becomes more effective, but twists those that are healed. Meanwhile, all forms of life thrive out of control, causing plagues of vermin, fungus and disease to spread wildly. Also, undead grow weaker, start to spontaneously self-destruct unless they seek shelter underground. The coming of Kyuss is marked by the vermin of the world entering frenzies of breeding and activity, steadily growing more numerous, larger and more monstrous. Zargon's return is marked by strange weather similar to the Leviathan but also includes rains of slime that pollute bodies of water and cause exposed creatures to turn into ooze monsters under Zargon's control. The other weather effects are cause by the gods getting worried about Zargon. The is also a selection of signs for game masters who want to create their own Evils including the night sky turning alien and strange which causes arcane magic to be more difficult to use, disastrous flooding or droughts, disease running rampant, and living things starting to grow, reproduce, and die unnaturally fast, followed by people losing the ability to sleep, and finally getting so charged with life energy that they messily explode.

Signs of the End Times / int_7894fb5d	comment	Subverted in The Four Gospels: Most Christians consider trying to predict the end times to be an exercise in futility, due to Jesus Himself being on record as "sighing deeply" and saying, "Why does this generation ask for a sign? Truly I tell you, no sign will be given to it." (Mark 8:12) In another verse, He explicitly states that the coming of The End will be a major surprise for everyone, that "concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only. (Matthew 24:36)" In other words, even Jesus Himself doesn't know when the world is going to end.

The return of magic is a mere side effect of its passing. In the final loop, characters who spend more time with King Joffrey, like his Silver Knights, become capable of sensing what he calls 'the Song of Existence', a sort of metaphysical manifestation of the will of the living world battling against the opposing, dark force he calls 'the Silence', represented by the Red Comet.

Signs of the End Times / int_bcadd7cb	comment	Warhammer 40,000 has the ringing of a mysterious clock in the last church. During the unification of Terra, the man who would later become the God-Emperor of Man set out to purge anything that would challenge his vision of an atheist science-based mankind. Among those things is the last church, maintained by a single elderly preacher. The Emperor, under a disguise, attempts to convert the priest. After getting utterly defeated in the ensuing philosophical debate, the Emperor storms off and orders the church to be burned down. The clock begins chiming, as it is prophesied to do when the end of man begins.

Signs of the End Times / int_d2cd3b5e	comment	In Nomine: Seven specific events must happen, in sequence, before Armageddon will begin. The prophecy is fairly well-known to most celestials, although the details are prone to much argument. When each condition is met, the Archangel Gabriel will instantly know it and will be compelled to sound a long, mournful note on her trumpet, which will echo through the Symphony and tell all celestials that the Day of Doom is one step closer. Over the course of The Final Trumpet, these signs start happening one after the other: First, a Great City Is Emptied of the Children of Heaven. This occurs in the prequel adventure, Fall of the Malakim, where the Demon Princes Kobal and Malphas kill off every angel and former angel in Los Angeles. Second, the Holiest Man on Earth Dies by Hands Not Mortal. A particularly pious accountant in Tehran, the holiest mortal alive at present, is killed by a demon of Malphas. Third, the Mortal Tyrant Harvests a Million Souls. An African warlord, sponsored by Baal for this purpose, creates a humanitarian crisis that kills well over the required number of mortals. Fourth, an Ancient Evil Breaks Its Bonds. At first, this seems to be fulfilled by the awakening of the world serpent Jormungandr; the players can prevent this by getting Thor to kill the monster, but this is only a ruse to cover Malphas' release of Magog, Prince of Cruelty, from his prison beneath the Sahara. Fifth, in Unity, War Is Embraced. The Archangels and the Princes gather in their councils and agree, unanimously, that it shall be war. This is assumed to be the final Trumpet blown in the canonical continuity. Sixth, at the Changing of the Year, All the Continents Are at War. Demonic — and some angelic — manipulation sows chaos and paranoia around the world, until war erupts between every nation on Earth that doesn't degenerate into a burning, anarchic mess. Often, demons rampage openly on Earth, killing anything they can find. Seventh and Finally, the Champions Battle Amidst the Flames and One is Vanquished. Michael and Baal face each other in single combat on the plains of Ha-Megiddo, one wins, one loses, and the Last Battle begins.

Atrus has to keep editing the Descriptive Book so it doesn't collapse while you're there, and Gehn has been monitoring the islands' decay from inside, to the point that his Golden Dome power plant has the phrase "The end of this world is near", written and repeated in D'ni along its perimeter.

Later on, prey animals begin deserting areas. When the apocalypse starts nearing closer, very weird things start happening. Mothers give birth to deformed and sickly kittens, lights start appearing in the skies, and random distant cries can be heard. When Blind Night (an eclipse) nears, the moon opens its Eye sooner than expected and turns blood red.

Signs of the End Times / int_df49d104	comment	Millennium (1996) eventually shifted from a straight-up "serial killer" series to the idea that the general rise in the tide of human cruelty was tied into the upcoming apocalypse, sharing equal time between investigation of hideous murders and investigation of strange phenomena. They also had an episode with literal signs of the end times, revolving around a Russian who sabotaged Chernobyl (sometimes translated as "Wormwood", the name of a poison star in the Book of Revelation) and who might just be the anti-Christ. Even though the anti-Christ isn't in the Book of Revelation. The episode instead conflates the anti-Christ with the Beast, including him surviving a fatal head wound and his helicopter having the serial number 666. Curiously, for a show about the coming end of days, he never reappeared.

Buffy notes that there's been more vampires than usual, and later finds one of the sinks in the girls' bathroom has blood coming from the faucets.
