Apocalypse Now: The Revelation of our Time
Apocalypse Now: The Revelation of our Time
A world order based on international rules and universal human rights: this was the aim with which the world came together after the Second World War. But 75 years later, we see how rules are being changed to suit one’s own interest everywhere around us, and how human rights increasingly make way for the right of the strongest. Whether this is at the expense of hundreds of thousands of innocent victims, or even of the entire planet. The world is no longer wavering, but is being tossed around by a thousand storms. How will these storms end? Will a new world rise from the ruins they caused? This was the subject of the Nexus Conference 2025, ‘Apocalypse Now: The Revelation of our Time’, which took place on 22 November in Amsterdam and online.
For anyone following the news today, the apocalyptic prophecies hardly seem to belong to the imagination anymore. Do the global wars, famines and natural disasters herald an Armageddon? Who are the horsemen, beasts and false prophets of our current time? And how can we overcome them, in order to create the new heaven and earth that follow the end-time in the Bible too? We asked these questions on 22 November to an international group of leading intellectuals, diplomats, politicians and activists.
