age to come

The age to come (aion mellon) is the time of cosmic restoration (apokatastasis) — both describe the eschatological repair of all things, spanning Jewish, Christian, and Islamic traditions.

Christian eternal life, Jewish olam ha-ba (the world to come), Islamic akhirah (the hereafter) — all three Abrahamic traditions name a future state of life beyond death, though the content and conditions of that life differ.

The eschatological hope of all traditions converges: suffering ends in the age to come. Christian restoration, Islamic paradise, Jewish olam ha-ba — all describe the ultimate repair of what is broken.
