The Global Vision 2000 Think Tank is set to host its 8th Eschatology Conference under the theme: “Entering the Final Stages of End Times.” This pivotal event aims to explore the profound and transformative shifts reshaping the world, engaging diverse religious and academic perspectives.

Conference Highlights

The conference unfolds at a critical juncture marked by:

• Global Reset and Transition: A world shifting from a unipolar to a multipolar power structure.
• Twin Crises: A convergence of economic turmoil stemming from an impending global financial meltdown and escalating regional wars, particularly in Ukraine and the Holy Land.

As tensions rise globally, regional conflicts increasingly involve major world powers, heightening fears of a third world war. These challenges underline the urgency for societies, policymakers, and individuals to prepare effectively for the profound uncertainties ahead.

Eschatology and the Current Global Context

Director Moeen Yaseen emphasizes:
“This year’s eschatology conference coincides with an unprecedented period of transition, particularly as we approach significant geopolitical shifts, including the new U.S. administration under the Trump regime. We aim to bring clarity to the Abrahamic eschatologies, focusing on unfolding realities in the Holy Lands and their broader implications.”

Key topics will include:

• Economic Crisis: Exploring the decline of the Western monetary system, escalating debt crises, and the long-term consequences of monetary debasement and hyperinflation.
• Regional Conflicts and Global Power Dynamics: Examining the intensifying volatility in Ukraine and the Holy Land.
• Post-Capitalist Futures: Projections of what might emerge after the collapse of the current monetary and capitalist systems, including post-humanism and techno-feudalism.

Interfaith and Scholarly Dialogue

The conference will feature an interfaith panel of leading Jewish, Christian, and Muslim scholars, thinkers, and journalists, fostering a rich dialogue on:

• Jewish, Christian, and Islamic Eschatologies: Comparative insights on prophetic traditions and end-time narratives.
• Implications for Syria and the Holy Land: Discussions on their roles as eschatological flashpoints.
• The Role of Technology and Society: Addressing the challenges of techno-feudalism and the hijacking of religious narratives.

Shaping the Discourse for a New Era

This conference underscores the importance of understanding and navigating these turbulent times. As economic systems face collapse and geopolitical tensions escalate, Global Vision 2000 seeks to provide critical perspectives to illuminate the path forward.
