One of the central and common themes of the Quran and the Testaments is the rule of God, meaning that in the apocalypse the rule of the world will be absolutely that of God, in which the righteous and the wicked will be punished. The subject of this article is the imminent rule of God and what it means. In this article, while reporting on the Quran and the Bible, the theories that have been interpreted in such a way are reviewed and criticized. There are six theories or probabilities in the history of the interpretation of the "imminent rule of God": first, it is true and it has precise timing. The second theory is that while this is true, the timing cannot be determined. The third theory also emphasized the fact that the news was true, but it was stated that due to the lack of readiness of the people, the timing of God's rule was constantly delayed. The fourth theory is also based on the fact that the news is true; but, contrary to the first three, it considers it spiritual. In the fifth theory, the imminent news of God's rule is merely a motive for moral living. In the sixth theory, the establishment of God's rule is considered to be hopeful. Of these, the second is the most popular and accepted view of followers of the Abrahamic religions. The research method used in the present study is comparative and historical, meaning that the themes of the imminent reign of God in the Old Testament and the New Testament as well as the Quran are studied and compared historically. The approach of this research is phenomenological.

The subject that Jesus (peace be upon him) spoke about more than anything else and viewed His services in light of was the approaching of the kingdom of God. There are 61 different sayings attributed to Him regarding the kingdom of God in the first three Gospels, some of which are mentioned here: A) Jesus saw the end of the world as very near and invited people to "repentance" and returning to God, saying that only those who, before that day arrives, have washed themselves from sin and made themselves worthy of enjoying divine mercy, will be forgiven and saved (Matthew 2:3, 6).
Although it was stated in the words of Jesus (peace be upon him): «هرآینه به شما میگویم، بعضی از ایستادگان در اینجا میباشند که تا ملکوت خدا را ـ که به قوت میآید ـ نبینند، ذائقة موت را نخواهند چشید» (Mark 1:9; Matthew 28:16; Luke 27:9); and this indicates the occurrence of the kingdom of God in those days; yet, at the same time, there is talk of the return of Jesus (peace be upon him) in a very distant future, meaning after the appearance of the false messiah and the occurrence of wars, famines, and other events (Matthew 24:24) and, in other cases, it is postponed to an unknown future, which no one knows except God (the Father) (Mark 13:32; Matthew 24:36 and 13:25).
In these verses, in response to the question of one of the polytheists of Quraysh who had asked the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him): "When will the event of the Day of Resurrection occur?", it is stated: O Prophet(!
