Some Christians believe the number will be branded on people's foreheads or right arms as an indication of the end times.

Why isnt it the word " time " be singular ?  There is only one " end time " ? why is it countable ?

Thank you

I've heard the phrase "The End of Days" and "the end of time," but not what you have in your post. Perhaps someone who has spent more time studying 666 can help us.

You would be able to use "the end times" in something like "the start times and end times of the movies are posted on the theater's Web site."
