Islamic eschatology, the study of end times within the Islamic tradition, encompasses a rich tapestry of beliefs regarding the Last Days. Central to these beliefs is the concept of the Second Coming, particularly concerning the figure of Isa (Jesus).

The Wandering Jew is a medieval Christian figure who spread widely in Europe in the thirteenth century and became a fixture of Christian mythology and literature. It concerns a Jew who, according to legend, taunted Jesus on the way to the Crucifixion and was then cursed to walk the earth until the Second Coming of Christ.
