Cycles, Ages and the
Ultimate State of the Universe

Generally speaking, there are two main beliefs explored in this section concerning the "Cycles, Ages and the Ultimate State of the Universe":

(1) Endless Cycles-The future of the universe is a series of infinitely repeating cycles. Normally, this involves numerous dissolutions and recreations, periods of manifestation and non-manifestation, with no ultimate or climactic end.

(2) A Final New Creation-The future of the universe (usually after a series of progressive ages) is a climactic recreation, effected by God, bringing all things to final, absolute, unchanging perfection.
