Summary/Abstract: The doctrine of the last times of this world of the Monk Justin Popovich concentrates primarily around the signs announcing the end of the world, which include the preaching of the Gospel to all nations, the conversion of Israel to Christ, the appearance of the Antichrist, a cosmic catastrophe, and also the heavenly sign of the cross on the eve of the Second Coming of the Savior. According to the Monk Justin, the most tragic moment at the end of this world will be the appearance of the Antichrist, in which all evil will reach its apogee. Proceeding from the Holy Scriptures, as well as the works of the Church Fathers, Archimandrite Justin discusses the resurrection of the human body, as well as the anakefalaiosis of everything created under the head of Christ, when only God “will be all in all” (1 Cor. 15:28). For Archimandrite Justin, the greatest gift of the Risen God-Man to human nature is the immortality of body and matter.
