The last key and common prophecy of End Times is the belief that at the end of Days and the coming of all other signs, the concepts of death (damnation) and evil will be conquered.
 
  For both Jewish and Christian tradition, Isaiah is one of the most important prophets of prophecy for this common belief Evil and tyranny will not be able to stand before his leadership (Isaiah 11:4), Death will be swallowed up forever (Isaiah 25:8), There will be no more hunger or illness, and death will cease (Isaiah 25:8) and Weapons of war will be destroyed (Ezekiel 39:9).
 
  However in later Christian apocalyptic literature, most notably the heavily edited Book of Revelation, qualifications are made as to just how long evil will be conquered.
 
  The most important implication of this prophecy is just who and what is evil. Superficially concepts such as war, rape, murder, greed are all signs of evil intent. Yet for many of these signs historically the most culpable candidates are religious not political/state organizations. For example, the Vatican and the Popes have been responsible for more evil acts than any other line of officials and organization in human history.
 
  Yet in Christian literature, the Antichrist who is given the title of “light bringer” (Lucifer) one who unifies nations and religions and brings knowledge to the world is considered the enemy of the church and claimed as evil. While the church, most notably the Vatican is claimed as good.
 
  So in order for this prophecy to be fulfilled, the first and most difficult challenge is defining who is truly evil and who is good. Something that is far from clear in edited scripture and what people claim to be, yet act in complete contradiction. Therefore some kind of manifesto that defines the nature of good and evil is considered a key element in the fulfillment of this prophecy, not only the mechanism by which evil is vanquished.
