Is the world really going to end?

[Blessed-one]

Is the world going to end? what sort of things do you look at to arrive at such a conclusion?

[TrustNo1]

Just reading Revelations it gives you the answer. I love the book of Revelations. I love everything in the bible but revelations is my favourite. Somewhere i read that in the ot it said the univers will be rolled up like a scroll.

[Marissa]

Yes.

Separate to Revelations, the way we treat this planet is atrotious. We're killing it, and every year we get worse.

[CeCe]

Yes.

I agree with what's been said so far.

And for anyone who is wondering, the passage TrustNo1 is referring to (actually there are 2) is

Isaiah 34:4 All the host of heaven shall be dissolved,
And the heavens shall be rolled up like a scroll;
All their host shall fall down
As the leaf falls from the vine,
And as fruit falling from a fig tree.


Revelation 6:14 Then the sky receded as a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved out of its place.

[Umbra]

Of course it's going to end.......

Aside from isaiah and Revelation, there are verses in Daniel.

[Konnie]

Yes, According to Revelation, it will end. We just don't know when.

[Lucent]

The world will come to an end. Couldn't tell you how or when, but I am not overly worried about it. After all, none of us will see it coming, so we will either be ready or we won't. :prayer:

[Mitch]

Yes and I hope I'm here when it does :)

[NiemandheißtBoshaftigkeit]

Oo, very one-sided....:D.....anyway, I think it is kinda my destiny to die in the last battle the earth will ever see.......don't know why though..........:confused:

[Anti-Fear]

Everything that has a beginning also has an end, except God, hopefully

[psychoceramic]

i thought the bible say that this age will pass away, but no the earth and the world?

[UK_Personality]

According to every belief... that i know of anyway... there is going to eventually be some kind of end to everything. Either that or it'll carry on forever into infinity... and that's even more depressing if you think about it. :sigh:

[CeCe]

In Matthew 24:35-- Jesus said: Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away.
(This is also in Luke 21:33)

Now I'm wondering what He meant by Heaven passing away. :sigh:

[Mitch]

it was talking about like the stuff in outer space, like it say the stars will fall out of heaven

EDIT: I'm ment to say: I THINK it was talking... I'm not an expert on the bible that's just my belief.

[Snowy]

Yes

[CeCe]

Oh OK. Gotcha. Thanks. :)

[Mitch]

See edit to my post^

[Heaven_Bound]

yep.

[Kathy]

Yes,the world will end one day....When? Only the Lord knows the answer to that.....BUT! Look at the world,the shape it is now,not to good,it may be sooner then you think..

[GinooKo]

Yes

[jacobgold]

When you ask if the world is going to end, it really depends on the spirit in which it was asked.

Are you asking if there will be no humans on the earth someday, then yes. Eventually the sun will die out and the world will frost over. The world will still be here, just in a different form but hopefully as a species we will have developed an artificial means of surviving in deep space without a sun by then.

If your asking if god will come and take everyone to heaven, well it depends on your religion.

In any event, even being hit by a giant meteor or some other such catastrophy (would just add mass to the planet), the world will alwas be fine as one type of planet or another. Its the things that live on it that have to worry about what will happen with the passage of time.

[jesusmilt06]

Well one day there will be the rapture (or poof) when jesus comes to take his follwers home, then there will tribulation and trials for seven years before christ comes down in the flesh to build his kingdom down here! Isn't that an absoulutley awesome thought? Christ, here in the flesh.
I have a question for yall though...do you want to see this, or hope you'll be dead before it happens
I'm undecided myself...just pm me with your answers!

[YHWH, know his name]

Your question is a little vague, but as for the Earth being destroyed, this will never happen.

First, lets start with Psalms 104:5, "It(the earth) will not be made to totter to time indefinite or forever. Ok, with this, we establish that time indefinite also means forever.(scripture little more direct in KJV, earth is forever)

Second, Go to Ecclesiastes 1:4 where it states that, "A generation is going, and a generation is coming; but the earth is standing even to time indefinite.
These scriptures from NWT, but as seen, the KJV reads to the same point, just more thous and lots of eths.

[trunks2k]

yes the world will end one day. Most likely humanity will be long gone by then. But eventually the sun is going to burn out, but before it does that, it's going to get really, really big, possibly engulfing the earth and/or possibly going super nova. Once the sun dies and if the earth happens to survive, I doubt there will be enough gravitational force to keep the Earth in any sort of safe orbit, and will most likely fly off an crash into some other large body eventually.

[DudeForChrist]

That's not how the world will end. It will start with the Rapture of all Christians on the earth. That's how the end times will begin. Ever read Revelations? I know it's a little confusing, but hey, it's mostly symbolic, since John had to describe what he saw compared to what they had back then.

[Krystina661]

I believe Heaven will be right here on earth. So no, in my opinion the world won't end. :)

[Megachihuahua]

EVENTUALY, the earth will be hit by a meganova flare and everyone will slowy burn to death, and if they don't die from that the apmosphere will disingergrate, leaving them to depressuize. Lovely.

[9Harmony]

As a Baha'i, I have a different perspective on this.

I believe one age has ended and another has begun. God is building His kingdom as we speak. The world as we know it will end, but not in the literal sense.

[LisaStar]

2 peter 3:10 and 12 say the earth and the elements will be on fire and burn up with fervent heat. But I don't think that means the planet will be completely destroyed. The Bible also says the earth abides forever, and it speaks of a new heaven and new earth. Jesus said the meek shall inherit the earth. They can't inherit something that isn't there or has ended. I think the "end of the world" means the purification. God has to destroy those who destroy the earth in Revelation11:18, but after the fire it will be cleansed and ready for Gods kingdom.

Krystina

I believe Heaven will be right here on earth. So no, in my opinion the world won't end.


In the last 2 chapters of Revelation it shows how this is true because the holy city new Jerusalem comes down, and God dwells in it. The nations come to its gates so this is on earth, after the fire purifies.

Yes, I agree with everything you said. :clap:

[Breetai]

So do I. According to the Bible, this world will never end. This age will.

[357magnum]

Yes, the world, as we know it today, will end. There will be a new heaven and a new earth in the ages to come that will be completely void of all evil.



The end times of our current world will be marked by destruction of all evil. Those who have accepted Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Saviour and have The Holy Spirit in their hearts will spend an eternity of joy and peace with Jesus Christ.



All of the prophecy of the Holy Bible will be fulfilled before our current world comes to an end. All will eventually see the literal reality of a literal Heaven and hell. It is far past time for all to seek and accept Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Saviour.



Love In Christ.

[Breetai]

I suppose that we just describe the same thing differently.

[357magnum]

I suppose that we just describe the same thing differently.

Hello Breetai,



After the 1,000 year Reign of Christ, there will literally be a new earth and a new heaven. The description given in the Holy Bible is quite beautiful. As an example, there will be no need for the sun. The glory and radiance of Christ's presence will be our light.

[†Neil†]

doesnt it say that the universe will be rolled up like a scroll?

[Krystina661]

I believe that's just a metaphor..

[Breetai]

Kristina is right about that being a metaphor, just as much of that book is.


I'm well aware of what Revelation says 357. Why do you take the 1000 years as literal? It could just as easily be taken as symbolic just like most other things in that book.

II Peter 3:8
One day is with the Lord as a 1000 years, and a 1000 years as one day.

God's chronology is not the same as man's. The only mention of the millennium is surrounded by the use of allegory. Why should the 1000 years be any different?

[jeffs_girl_2004]

Yes, because it is stated in several places in the bible.

[Breetai]

I think that a lot of people confuse this doctrine. The age (aion in greek) will end, but the world (kosmos) will never end.

Ecc. 1:4
One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh: but the earth abideth for ever.

Ps. 104:5
Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed for ever.

Matt. 24:3
And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world(aion)?

[357magnum]

doesnt it say that the universe will be rolled up like a scroll?

Yes Brother, the Holy Bible does clearly state this and much more. The description of the New Heaven and the New Earth is beautiful, but we already know that many will simply dismiss it as a metaphor. Many like to dismiss large portions of the Holy Bible for this reason or others. There is an obvious and critical reason for every word of the Holy Bible from cover to cover. Careful study of HIS WORD reveals those reasons, and they pertain to reality that was, or is, or is to be.



Love In Christ.

[Krystina661]

Kristina is right about that being a metaphor, just as much of that book is.

You actually spelled my name right.. lol

[lared]

The word earth is different then the word world.

The earth will always be here.
The world will pass away as in Noah's day. A world of wicked mankind. Noah was able to step off the ark onto the same planet earth, but a new world.

New heavens and new earth refers to a new governmental arrangement (God's kingdom--a very real heavenly government with Christ as king) and a new earthly society.

[Lightning]

No, the earth will be here forever.

[Lightning]

God is the Greatest

[Glorianna]

One day the world will end. Jesus will come back to take all believers to heaven. Everyone else, unfortunately, will go to hell.

[mle]

yes it will

[einstein314emc2]

Depends on how you define "world"
The earth itself will be destroyed in about 5 billion years.
But will humanity survive? Almost certainly not as we know it. Here are some possibilities:
1. We destroy ourselves.
2. We slowly evolve naturally or with genetic enginering. (In which these new beings will be destroyed or evolve.
3. Something along the lines of an asteriod hits earth and destroys us.
4. We spread out across the galaxy.
There are many more, but they are too numerous to place them all here.
Will the universe as a whole be destroyed? Roght now it looks as though it will expand forever and everything will end up frozen.

[Soulikz]

I wouldnt care - earth isjust the first steppin stone of lifes journey

[jeshohaia]

We either do it or G-D does...

[Niko]

Bible code says around 2012 there is going to be a meteor, 2010 there will be an earthquake. Though it may not be true, I wish to be alive during the Apocalypse so I can physically combat evil

[RocketMan]

Call me a nut but I would anticipate that Christ would return in the next 50-100 years although it could be far far more distance than that. A good website is tribulation.com and looking under the prophecy section can make for an interesting read.

One thing is for sure though: it's only a matter of time.

[Big C]

Does the IRS really expect you to pay them?

[ema0941]

The world as we know it is going to end and then there will be a 'new heaven and a new earth' and I am really looking forward to finding out what they'll be like.

[Billnew]

Everything must end,
But the bible says there is an end.
I don't want to be here when god has a going out of business sale.
The Anti-christ will get everything for a little.
And the world will not be a nice place.
Hell on Earth.
I want to be called home before that.
My incident of the end will be when the middle east has peace. the anti-christ will
make a pact for a seven year peace.
-----Are we there, yet?-------(Quote from my kids)

[ridesawhitehorse]

The world will end for each one of us on the day that we die!
That is the only 'end times' we really need to worry about...

Ridesawhitehorse~

[bluenova]

This question supposes that the world is all that exists, are you talking about the universe or the earth???

Earth will come to its end one day. If not before, it will happen when the sun burns out, but hopefully by then we will have relised how much more is out there, as there is 1 solar system in the universe for every grain of sand on the earth

[Pilgrim 33]

Two ways to go with this, first, mankind is sinful and is degenerative in nature and is on a downhill spirial to oblivion that without outside help can not recover from or; second, he, of his own abilities, is getting better all the time and will, one day, reach perfection and ultimate godhood.

When sin entered the world it disrupted the natural perfection and order of all, hence the entire universe and everything in it is on a downhill spiral to ultimate oblivion. Thus, we are told, God will make all things new and that the former will be destroyed and never more be.

[EmAgDnImGiRl]

If it does ever end. I tell you one thing. I know where I am going. :angel: So god be prepared:sorry:

[Unique]

Yeah, the world will end. I don't particulary care when because I know where I am going!

[Smi1eWarrior]

That's so Derfred backwards!!

Mara :)

[Molly7]

Of course it will. The sun doesn't last forever, you know. Neither does our environment with the way we treat it. But hey, that's what eternal life is for!

~Molly

[USincognito]

Yes it will end.

About 5-10 billion years from now the Sun will swell to a size where it swallows and burns up the Earth. Life will long previously have died out as the oceans evaporate and the ground bubbles with lava.

[Western Deity]

This poll needs two yes options; one for "it will end as indicated in the bible" and one for "it will end as a result of the laws of thermodynamics" or whatever you scientifically literate people say :).

[Rafael]

The sides of battle are already gathering over Jerusalem and the Middle East, even though most of the world is just as in the days of Noah, not having eyes to see or ears to hear - to busy worshipping self.

[Tara]

Yes definitely, God told us so. We are told to look for the signs, and it would appear we are on our way. What a dreadful day it will be, and what a glorious one. :prayer:

[caitlincares]

Yes it will end - that is what the Bible says.
:)

[TheMainException]

When the world ends, I believe that all the Christians will be taken up to heaven.

[zoe_uu]

Yes, everything dies eventually. But the planet won't make it that far, because humans are either going to blow it up or completely destory the environment to the point that nothing will survive on the Earth.

[sweetlambofgod]

No, why would God do that?

[PaladinGirl]

Well, everything has an end, even the Sun will eventually burn out. And I guarantee that once that happens we will all die unless we have moved to another solar system by then. This world will definitely end. However, that does not necessarily mean that human beings and all other planetary life will become extinct. However, Biblically, I do believe that there will be a rapture and this world will end there and a new world will be formed. But who knows, we might just make our own Noah's Ark again and travel to another Solar System before God decides to rapture us all. Anything is possible I always say.

[rua2j33]

Yes, I believe it will, but I think it will be reborn in a form suitable for the creator of all life. I also believe that the time is near. Consider 2 Timothy 3:1-7

1 But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: 2For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, 4traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away! 6For of this sort are those who creep into households and make captives of gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts, 7always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

You can witness all of this by simply turning on daytime TV. To reject Jesus is foolish. Accept Him while you can.

[Centrifuge04]

Yes, this world is going to end not sure when though

[CZzyzx41]

THe world at some point will have served out it's purpose and will end. I may or may not be alive when that time comes, but it will happen.

[cat has felt the light!]

yes,
God says so, so who am I to say otherwise! :D
c@ xx

[signwonder]

There is no indication in the bible that this world will end. It does say that much of it will be destroyed and that even the elements will melt. Sounds like Nuclear or Asteroid type destruction to me. Even after the tribulation period there will be people still here for 1000 more years but during that time Jesus will reign. The bible tells us that there will be a new Heaven and a new earth and that the old things will have passed away. It tells us about a new Jerusalem from which Jesus will rule and reign. Does this mean that God totally recreated a new earth or that the old one was made new? The Bible says that there will be a city brought down from Heaven that is built 4 square. I guess we will have to wait and see exactly how this all takes place. I definately know that we don't inhabit outer space on our own through exploration and space travel. Anyone who would say or think this does not read the Bible!

[signwonder]

The world as we now know it will come to an end but most of that will be how things are done. All will not be destroyed at least not at the end of the tribulation period. This is when Jesus will come back to set up His kingdom at the end of the tribulation written about in the book of the Revelation. Justice and goodness will reign supreme then. Christians and Jewish believers will be in control and ruling with Jesus. No longer will Hollywood, MTV, BET, VH1, HBO, Cinemax, Howard Stern, Jerry Springer and others like these used as pawns of Satan plague our planet with sin. This is because Satan will be locked up and will not rule these people and entities any longer. Jesus will allow Satan to excape at the end of 1000 years to temp all the people who were born ourside of His kingdom. (These are those that survived the tribulation and had children.) When these have made thier decision who to follow the final judgement day will come where EVERYONE will stand before God and give an account of thier life. When all unbelievers have been permanently sent to THEIR CHOSEN eternal provisions we that love and serve Jesus will have the whole world and universe to ourselves to forever worship God. Personally, I can't wait until Jesus returns and things begin to be run like He wants them to!

[CZzyzx41]

There ya go. THat's about what I meant. The world AS WE KNOW IT will end. The earth will be cleansed. Past that we really don't know at this point. Or at least I don't.

[Southwest Christians]

I think the world is going to end very soon. I mean look at my country. Gays are getting married! People are just living together! Babies having Babies! Come on! The end is very near. True it will be very good day to see Jesus here. But there are still many sheep that are lost.

[Telrunya]

Biblical prophecy has been very accurate through the years. It says that the world will end, it says that knowledge will increase, it says that Jesus will come again. I believe it.

[k8598]

the sun could explode!:D

[Spirited Reality]

The earth wont be able to survive forever. The sun is slowly dying and in (I think) 5 000 000 000 000 yrs the sun will go out. The earth will freeze in 8 mins (I think thats what they say....)

[HolySpiritWarrior]

Yeppers, its gonna end!
People get ready, Jesus is Coming!!!!

[daydreamergurl15]

Yes, I believe it will. I keep looking at the sky, everytime there is a storm and it goes black. That is so powerful to me. Sometimes I don't know why is God taking so long but I do know that Christ tells us in Matthew how we know the ending of the world and I don't know if we have all those elements or not. I just can't wait til he comes. I know I have to be in the right mind spirtually and be ready for him.

[Teacher]

I have to go along with Jesus, Paul and Peter on this one. Referring to the world as we know it now, yes. But, I look forward to the New Heaven and New Earth that will be created afterward.

[TheDandyMan]

I do believe so. For one, it describes it with emmense detail in the Bible and the Earth's resources have to run out sometime. It may be 562,385 years from now, but they have to run out.

[Krystina661]

The "world" as we know it will end, but in my opinion the world will never end, only the sin and corruption on this earth (world) will end and everything will be made good again. THE WORLD WILL NEVER ACTUALLY END..

[lilchristiangurl]

yes, read revelations for more info on it

[Moros]

Obviously eventually. The sun will burn out, deforestation, nuclear warfare, extinction of animals, depletion of the food chain, pollution, depletion of the ozone layer, low birthrates, melting of the polar ice caps, etc, etc.

[Knightmare†]

well as the mother of Medjugorje is askin from u to b prepared that means...
also all the events of the world predict it:wars,floods,blood...
anyway God chooses the timing..i wish make it a lil late to give more chance to coming generations...:D

[Neal]

I'm thinking yes. Nice as it was, I'm not going to miss it compared to what will come!

[Godluvingurl]

yes, in revolations it says that the world really is going to end so i do think that it will.;)

[Elessar]

Yes, of course the world is coming to an end. Whether you are a christian, atheist, or other believer you should realize the truth. If you are a christian, then you have the Bible, the book of Daniel and Revelation, and the whole Word of God should be your proof.

If you are an atheist or a non-christian then just look at the world around us. Like many people have said, we are killing this planet so even if God wouldn't exist, we would eventually kill ourselves.

[just_dance]

Yes
Revelations but I hope I am here to see it, It woulld be a great honour to see any of it even not to live to the final battel but to know you died for your faith and it would be great to see the thousand year rain.

[wellab]

Is the world going to end? what sort of things do you look at to arrive at such a conclusion?
I believe in what Jesus said about the end of time, the Kingdom of Heaven, and that the heavy symbolism in the book of Revelation, that the end will be nasty and hard and worth the fight for the ones that fight for good.

:D

[kleptobismol]

of course the world is going to end, but when...nobody knows except for God Himself!

[Waterhouse]

I saw this t-shirt at the market the other day... it had:

"Jesus is coming... quick, look busy!"

[ShilohCity]

eventually, however you look at it.

[Born2Fly]

Yes the world will end.
Only God is Infinite.

[big1968dog]

Yep. I have no doubt.

[kleptobismol]

it will eventually, but really it could be a day from now or a million years. nobody knows, not even Jesus... just God

[Born2Fly]

thats an odd consept.
true..but odd.

[PlumTea]

I also believe the world will end. If I had to guess I would say within the next 100 years, but more likely in the next 50. I don't know if I will die first or not, but I hope I am alive then and not dead...how cool to see Jesus return..of course, with the rapture happening first I guess the point is moot, so nevermind.

[Rfiord]

My Faith Says, That God Will Come As a Thief in the night to take his people home, in others words the rapture, Get right with God People because as the above said you never know when God will come back for us.

[Rfiord]

By heaven passing in Revolations it ment That God was remaking Eden, or something like that i will reread the Rev again to be sure.

[goldenviolet]

is the world going to end?


OH, HAPPY DAY!:clap: :D

[ramesses]

Yes.

From a biblical side it has been written and prophesised.
From a scientific view there is proof of planets, stars and entire galaxies being destroyed so what makes Earth special in the eyes of science?

[Daisysqueaks]

Yes. The Bible says it will pass away and I believe it!

:wave: So long sad cruel world. I wish I could say that I will miss you...But I won't!!:P

[Justin761985]

Yes the world is going to end.
God just didn't reveal to us when that time would come, but gave us signs of the times so that we may know when we were in the last days.

God Bless,
Justin.

[xray01]

Yes, and I know this 'cos the Bible tells me so. There will be new heaven and a new earth.

[matt225]

Yep, its all gonna end. Gladly though, I will be long gone when Jesus comes back for his pplz :amen: before any of the bad stuff happens, and it will. The world is gonna have to pay up for its sin. Those not having been covered with the blood of Jesus will have to give there's and its not gonna be pretty. Yeah Revelation can get pretty scray, but that doesnt make it any less true.:preach:
God has been warning us since the days of the prophets that the world would end and thank God that Jesus came as our last chance to escape that day when the Lord will punish the wicked.

" 9 See, the day of the LORD is coming
—a cruel day, with wrath and fierce anger—
to make the land desolate
and destroy the sinners within it.


10 The stars of heaven and their constellations
will not show their light.
The rising sun will be darkened
and the moon will not give its light.

11 I will punish the world for its evil,
the wicked for their sins.
I will put an end to the arrogance of the haughty
and will humble the pride of the ruthless.

12 I will make man scarcer than pure gold,
more rare than the gold of Ophir. 13 Therefore I will make the heavens tremble;
and the earth will shake from its place
at the wrath of the LORD Almighty,
in the day of his burning anger. "

His judgement comes soon, be ready.
God bless.

Matt

[AngCath]

yes it will end.
can't predict it though, only the Father knows.

[JesusQuest]

It's not just Revelation that says earth will come to an end, Jesus, and many other people in the new testement said so too.

[ProLaoPo]

If the world is coming to an end, that's means Jesus is coming! I'm looking forword for His arrival. :amen:

[AvgJoe]

Yes.

Many books of the Bible proclaim this truth.

[angelwind]

This world system will end at the return of Jesus...which it seems to be very close. Eventually He will make a new heaven and a new earth...Wow!

[lgintrnj]

Happy Birthday Mitch. Hope its A great one.

Have a blessed day with our Lord Lori

[Angeldove97]

I think the way the world is NOW will end, but I don't believe the world (God's creation) will end at all. ^_^

[Woody]

Yep! Otherwise the Bible wouldn't have said so!

[Hisbygrace]

God's word says it will end and that's all I need to know, because His word never changes.

[Cajun Huguenot]

some day.

[meebs]

I dont think im the first to say this but.....yes

in about a few billion years or so.

Sun... expanding....engulf planet...etc

sorry :sorry: dont mean to come across as a smarty pants.

Unless you mean most life on the planet - probably sooner :(

[faith guardian]

YEs. Most certainly.
I hope I'm dead by then though :p

[faith guardian]

I dont think im the first to say this but.....yes

Sun... expanding....engulf planet...etc

sorry :sorry: dont mean to come across as a smarty pants.

I think maybe they meant religiously. Doomsday. Ragnarokk... You know... Fiery doomy end worthy of a greek tragedy or something.

[meebs]

I think maybe they meant religiously. Doomsday. Ragnarokk... You know... Fiery doomy end worthy of a greek tragedy or something.

lol - i know what they meant, but i also took it to mean what i said too.

Obviously, since im not religious no.

However - im not putting it past some religious extremists to try to make this happen (eventually killing ALL life in the process, one way or another).

[Redeemed_Warrior]

Yes as the scripture says,"Heaven and Earth will pass away....... rest of the Scripture follows on from there :)

[Higher]

We're too great a people to just "End"...

We've coped in the past, and we will continue to do so...

If biblical Armageddon is true, then I want to be there... Stand up for what you believe in, ya' know?

[Lake]

could be at any moment but I'm hoping God waits until we better ourselves.

[Ric]

Yes

[sweethearts]

I'm glad all you more educated folks have posted before me :D It seems to be pretty much summed up!

Yes, because the Bible says so! :amen:

[faith guardian]

We're too great a people to just "End"...

We've coped in the past, and we will continue to do so...

If biblical Armageddon is true, then I want to be there... Stand up for what you believe in, ya' know?

Who do you mean "we"?
Americans or humans at large?
It sounds very much like every-other-empire-that-ever-fell's-average-citizen's-misplaced-trust to me....

[faith guardian]

could be at any moment but I'm hoping God waits until we better ourselves.

Do you think we WILL better ourselves?
It seems to me we are doing a very good job at the exact opposite...

[Tazi]

yes and I hope the Lord returns soon and sets things right

[faith guardian]

yes and I hope the Lord returns soon and sets things right

I hope he waits a while.
Selfish? maybe. But I still would want to wait a little while. Serve him a while longer.

[koban4max]

Is the world going to end? what sort of things do you look at to arrive at such a conclusion?

YUP...it's going to end..
HOw? well...Nuke talk, sinful world...people don't repent...too much hatred...stuff like that..it's pretty basic..:thumbsup:

[sammipher]

Yep...why worry...those that are saved will be gone when it happens.

I beleve the planet Earth would one day end when the Sun swallows it sometime around 10 billion years from now.

The world has already ended

Revelation 6:14 Then the sky receded as a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved out of its place.[/QUOTE]

I had a dream about exactly this. First I saw the clouds open up out of the sky as if they were making way for the Lord. You know when you see a plume come from a volcano. It was as if it were the reverse and I sensed a presence come out from the clouds and then I saw the sky rolled up as if something that is peeled back.

Anyhow, I don't mean to sound freakish but that scripture struck me and reminded me of that. It wasn't a scary dream though.

[faith guardian]

I beleve the planet Earth would one day end when the Sun swallows it sometime around 10 billion years from now.

What about humanity?

[GodsSamus]

I think the world will end soon.

[HisLilyWhitePrincess]

I believe so. Jesus is returning one day!Hallelujah!

[Soul_Golem]

Some believe that the Revelation was about many endings that eventually become the final ending where Christ returns. To many Christians of the past it is not all that assuming to believe that they probably thought that the world did end, many, many times. Yet, obviously tomorrow came for the rest of us and one thing proves itself more and more true. It seems like "the end" keeps coming closer to the end of ends every time it ends, but then it always ends before it brings us to the end of ends.

In the mortal sense the reality of it is mind-blowing, because it goes beyond just the question of will humanity and its home we call the world, one planet, one species end? Just imagine it, the whole universe, all galaxies, all planets, all space and time coming to an end. Of course, God has a particular plan for everything and every being of Creation, but this entire universe is finite. All will end eventually, and even eventually time will end and eternity will be a state of immortality rather than a timeless face on a clock.

In the Bible, though, "the end" is also what God begins.

If it gets any hotter this summer maybe it DID end!

[Maize]

Yes.... but it will be because we blow it up with our stupid wars and bombs.

[ScarletWitch]

Of course it will! With all of the pollution, cutting down forest, golobal warming, endangered animals, and overpopulation we are bound to ultimately annihilate our planet.

[faith guardian]

Of course it will! With all of the pollution, cutting down forest, golobal warming, endangered animals, and overpopulation we are bound to ultimately annihilate our planet.

The global warming will probably lead to another ice age in a hundred years. So say our scientists. And American ones too. Bummer!

[The-Doctor]

Yes but we don't know when

[Maja]

Yes

[freyajem]

WOW, I was way in the minority with a no. I said no because of a prayer I say that ends with "world without end".

Glory be to the Father,
and to the Son,
and to the Holy Spirit:
As it was in the beginning,
is now,
and ever shall be,
world without end.
Amen.

and there are a couple other prayers that say about the world.

[aalona]

The world will end...it just keeps getting worse and worse...

[FollowHisPath]

I dunno but I think it will

[skipper]

I feel it will end and soon

[JacqS]

There is plenty in the bible that tells us 'yes'...and plenty of scientific evidence to suggest that it is going to happen sooner or later anyway (even without human interference!!)

I remember a minister once saying in a sermon on prophecy that "we don't have to 'have our backs packed to flee tribulation tomorrow' but we do have to be prepared to face our judgement today"... Mt 25:13 Lu 21:34-36 1Th 5:2-6

[Stacey]

Says so in the book.

[Augustine_Was_Calvinist]

Insufficient info to answer. Is the world as we know this present world going to end? Yes, after Resurrection, and the removal of sin and believers are given a new body free of the sin nature, there will be a new heavens and a new earth wherein righteousness dwells.

[LILIVIWA]

yes, and God says so and I hope I am ready...

[AngryNotice]

Is the world going to end? what sort of things do you look at to arrive at such a conclusion?

I hope the world isnt going to end! Well, to be honest I dont see it happening anytime soon. Unless we get into some sort of nuclear holocaust.

[*Starlight*]

I don't think it's going to actually end soon... Even if there was a global nuclear war, it probably wouldn't wipe out all humanity. But one day it will end... In a few billion years, when our sun enters the red giant phase, the Earth will be destroyed by it. But I don't think it will mean the end of humanity... There are other planets, other suns... We'll always find a place to live. :)

As for the end of the world as described in the Bible, I don't know when or if it will happen. Maybe it's just some kind of allegory or metaphor... I really don't know. :)

[DanielJamesSimon]

Option c). I don't know if it will end. It certainly won't be in my life time, of that I am sure. It's most likely bound to end sometime, but maybe God has other plans. I don't really care because all Christians will end up with God regardless.

[Witness Of His Love]

There is a new heaven and a new earth on the way. I think it's wonderful because this earth has pollution and lots of scars from men's battles.

[GodsJewel]

yes

[FollowHisPath]

yes probobly so.

[Amanda99]

yes it talks about the rapture in the bible, check revalations

[godisgr8]

yes

[faith guardian]

WHAT will end it though?

Gamma radiation from a supernova? Asteroid? Human stupidity?

The bible talks vaguely about it I feel... Falling stars, poisoned rivers, great wars...

My assumption would be; Humanity. We'll probably get a little bloodthirsty and kill eachother.

[Interesting2me]

Is the world going to end? what sort of things do you look at to arrive at such a conclusion?Definitely, as we know it, according to the scriptures.

Always watch Israel & the middle east along with many other occurrences , immorrality, Many getting saved, & America, "The cradle of Chrstianity"!

Wheat & Tares, or Good & Evil "Growing" side by side! also what happens in the nation of Israel, is a manifestation of what's happenning in the church, or "spiritual Israel".

[Illuminite]

I believe it's starting but I also believe this world will become alot more destructive before it does.then again it could be tonight.;)
It's coming soon.

[Kalibeth]

Yes , but only God knows when


Christ's Love To All, Kalibeth

[CaptainMercy]

Yes.

Separate to Revelations, the way we treat this planet is atrotious. We're killing it, and every year we get worse.

I agree with this thought as well. If it was not foretold in Revelations, man would eventually destroy it. But as it is, God will destroy it and heaven (not the third heaven) and make a new heaven and earth.:preach: :cool:

[Oblivious]

Simply put, yes, the Bible states such, and it's anyone's guess as to when...

[Rome]

Yes the world is going to end

[GodFlute2]

weather it be Human destrustion, the sun going out, or the rapture, the world will end.

[Amy47]

I should hope so, it says it in the bible...

[Followers4christ]

Yes.The bible tells us that when God judges us He will torch this earth.2 peter 3:10"But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything in it will be laid bare."God Bless

[hopeforatree]

i said no because there will be a new heaven anda new earth... but i don'tt hink this one will end completely and be replaced by that new earth. i think it will be renewed

[SharonL]

Actually the world does not come to an end - there is an end of the ages as we know it - The Bible says there will be a new Heaven and earth.

Every sign the Bible gives that has to happen has happened - Jesus could return any day and Scripture would be fullfiled.

Keep your eye on Israel that is the key - Iran is already saying that they will wipe Israel off the face of the earth - One attack will set the whole thing into motion.

[cygnusx1]

sure:wave:

[crusader4peace]

i believe yes.

[furry001]

Actually the world does not come to an end - there is an end of the ages as we know it - The Bible says there will be a new Heaven and earth.
I hate to disagree with people, but Peter tells us that, "the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?" (2 Peter 3:10-12)

If the bible tells us that the world will end, who are we to disagree with it?

[God4Gives]

I believe the world is going to end, in Revelations you can see the world is starting to fall into place.

[wiggsfly]

No one, not science or religion disputes that the world will end.

[AAB]

Yes, and I's like for it to happen before I die.

[lollipop686]

Everything but God has a beginning and end, including the earth and the people who live there.

[Big Mouth Nana]

I would love to be here to see Christ coming in the clouds of glory, but if not, I just don't want linger at an old decrepid age and go by the grave.

[faith guardian]

Sometimes this thread and others like it make me want to quote GIR;

"I´m gonna sing the doomsong now... Doom doom di doom doom"

(for those of you not "in the know", that´s GIR, and he´s a crazy robot...)

Really... Nothing we can do can prevent it. We can just live one day at a time, and know that whatever happens God is in control.
Like Luther said "If I knew the world would end tomorrow, I would still plant my apple tree today"

Grr, what is the code to insert pictures?

[ILoveJesusHChrist]

Revelations isnt the end of the world. Look. It is symbolic that the human race will screw up, as always, and will be saved. Personaly, i dont let the bible rule my life because, i honestly dont belive in an almighty god. now before you take this out of context, i would like to make it perfectly clear that i am NOT tring to change ne1's mind about god, jesus ect. My belif is that god is a personifycation of human good and the bible is a book that is a collection af fables. Stories to be taken for their moral values and not literally.

[ashley lynne]

It most certainly is going to end. I am looking forward to the day I get to go to heaven. Which ever comes first, me dying or the world ending... Im still beaming about being with the Lord.

[jeriko]

This world will end and a new earth and a new heaven will be created

[greenjeans]

yes the world as we know it will end ,but when jesus arrives it will be glorious.

[HollyHobbie]

Is the world going to end? what sort of things do you look at to arrive at such a conclusion?

I voted yes not only because of what the book of revelations says but because of the way our environment is deteriorating and because of the dailey signs of the end times drawing nearer and nearer.

For example they are already are starting to put computer chips in pets ect.

[Ethos711]

Yes.
But I'd rather live a full life, and die a natural death.
I wanna have kids, a job, ect. But I guess God knows when I'm ready.

[k]

It is simply a matter of science that the world as we see it in its current physical form will come to an end in the sense it will no longer be recognizable for what it is today. We, however, will NEVER end!!! :)

[KrazyPhish]

yep, don't ask me when though!

[mark53]

[Moluku]

The Lord will return. End of the world.

[Sun2]

Think i won't be there to see the end...may be

[GraceInHim]

NO.. when Jesus returns, this earth will go forever and ever.. we will live 4-ever... sin will end... not earth... :)

[RuthRuth]

Says so here in my trusty book

[Adiel batKelev]

the world as we know it - yes

but there will be a New heavena and a New earth....

Revelation 211 Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the old heaven and the old earth had passed away, and the sea was no longer there.

[hungryman]

i say its not because in the bible it says god shall set his reign upon the earth the milliniual kingdom and it also says that what god makes perfect he shall not destroy and wherein if christs kingdom were to be on earth therefore perfect why would he destroy it...and i will admit it i am not that biblically versed so if someone knows otherwise please set me straight on this

[TheLoneRanger]

Another question could be; Is the world going to end soon eg 5 years time, 10 years time, twenty years time or fifty years time.

[Mick116]

Of course the world will end - it had a beginning, it will have an end; just like everything else in this creation, it is deteriorating. Not sure when this end will come, though, but my guess is many billions of years when our sun ceases to be. Or when Christ returns & the world is recreated, whichever comes first.

[Arianna]

well of course it will end - it is sustained by finite resources...

[TheLoneRanger]

With the amount of prophecy date setters and the degree of interest in it there does not seem much in the way of countering such speculation. There is a whole industry built on speculation.

[eaglex]

The world as we know it will end. The world overall will not end. This planet is in God's plan to last foever in one form or another. It will be here for the Milliemum reign of Christ,then burned and renewed into the New Heavens and New Earth. ONly those who are Born Again Christians will see this and go into the New Era . Als I will say infants and young children who died before the age of accountability will also go into this fablous time . All those who accept Christ during the Milleimum will also go into this New Earth . All those who do not accept Christ's pardon will be in THE LAKE OF FIRE for Eternity. For further info read Rev.chapters 21 and 22.:wave: :thumbsup: ;)

[Harlan Norris]

Just as I suspected.Most people no matter what they believe otherwise,are aware that the world as they know it is about over.I sensed this very thing and my search for answeres brought me to my faith in Jesus Christ.

[tommyboy]

yes, I think the world will end,because the bible tells me so...t

[TheLoneRanger]

It will be here for the Milliemum reign of Christ
So lets scare people into the kingdom like good JW's. The only reason that people believe some of this stuff is because they have never encountered any alternatives. Premillennialism is dangerous and bad for your health.

Slight problem with this. The bible says that this world will be melted! If something is melted, it is not renewed but is destroyed. For example, if you take a glass bottle and put it under extreme heat, it melts. It is no longer a bottle, but a mess of gloop. In order for it to be a bottle again, someone is going to have to re-create it in the shape of a bottle.

This world is going to melt, therefore it will be destroyed.

Perhaps it would be better to ask, "why is it in the Bible?". God reveals snippets of His plan (consider Daniel, who was told that his message was not for his generation but for another).

This does not mean that we should be scaring people to believe, but lovingly informing them of what is going to happen.

[postaste]

Yes, According to Revelation, it will end. We just don't know when.

Do excuse any duplication as I only have a few mins

Jesus, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, Zechariah & others forecast that this climax time of all history would start with the rebirth of Israel after long global scattering

Dan 7 also forecast a revived Roman Empire for the climax generation, to crush, trample & devour victims till the Ancient of Days crushes it in person

Like Israel, the then-EEC was birthed in 1948

A Bible generation is at most 70 yrs, & Jesus said that this generation to see Israel's 'fig tree put forth her leaves' would be 'cut short' by the instant airlift (Rapture) rescue of all who love Him - (Matt 24:30-31, 1 Corinthians 15:51-58m 1 Thessalonians 4:14-5:11, etc)

Now most schools & colleges, etc, are on half term break, let's 'redeem the time' by helping complete the Great Commission of Matt 28 & Mark 16, to hasten Christ's return & cut short the awful sufferings of our persecuted brothers & sisters, yes?

God bless!

The world will not end. We will all live happlily ever after with our Father.
Does not the scriptures say that this world will end? Does it not promise us a new heaven and a new earth?

[Krystina661]

I think it all just depends on how one looks at it. The bible does say the world will pass away but the bible also says that that we will have a new heaven and new earth. I take that as the "world" will never actually pass away but that it will be re-made..

[Brokeback_Catholic]

Does not the scriptures say that this world will end? Does it not promise us a new heaven and a new earth?

I think it says there will be a new heavens and new earth. I think it means that the world system under Satan's domain will end, not the literal earth.

[faith guardian]

I think it says there will be a new heavens and new earth. I think it means that the world system under Satan's domain will end, not the literal earth.
2Peter 3:7 But by His word the present heavens and earth are being reserved for fire, kept for the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.

2Peter 3:10 But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, in which the heavens will pass away with a roar and the elements will be destroyed with intense heat , and the earth and its works will be burned up.

Isaiah 51:6 "Lift up your eyes to the sky, Then look to the earth beneath ; For the sky will vanish like smoke, And the earth will wear out like a garment And its inhabitants will die in like manner; But My salvation will be forever, And My righteousness will not wane.

Also read Isiah 24 which also speaks of the devastation of the earth
The LORD's Devastation of the Earth
1 See, the LORD is going to lay waste the earth
and devastate it;
he will ruin its face
and scatter its inhabitants-

2 it will be the same
for priest as for people,
for master as for servant,
for mistress as for maid,
for seller as for buyer,
for borrower as for lender,
for debtor as for creditor.

3 The earth will be completely laid waste
and totally plundered.
The LORD has spoken this word.

4 The earth dries up and withers,
the world languishes and withers,
the exalted of the earth languish.

5 The earth is defiled by its people;
they have disobeyed the laws,
violated the statutes
and broken the everlasting covenant.

6 Therefore a curse consumes the earth;
its people must bear their guilt.
Therefore earth's inhabitants are burned up,
and very few are left.

7 The new wine dries up and the vine withers;
all the merrymakers groan.

8 The gaiety of the tambourines is stilled,
the noise of the revelers has stopped,
the joyful harp is silent.

9 No longer do they drink wine with a song;
the beer is bitter to its drinkers.

10 The ruined city lies desolate;
the entrance to every house is barred.

11 In the streets they cry out for wine;
all joy turns to gloom,
all gaiety is banished from the earth.

12 The city is left in ruins,
its gate is battered to pieces.

13 So will it be on the earth
and among the nations,
as when an olive tree is beaten,
or as when gleanings are left after the grape harvest.

14 They raise their voices, they shout for joy;
from the west they acclaim the LORD's majesty.

15 Therefore in the east give glory to the LORD;
exalt the name of the LORD, the God of Israel,
in the islands of the sea.

16 From the ends of the earth we hear singing:
"Glory to the Righteous One."
But I said, "I waste away, I waste away!
Woe to me!
The treacherous betray!
With treachery the treacherous betray!"

17 Terror and pit and snare await you,
O people of the earth.

18 Whoever flees at the sound of terror
will fall into a pit;
whoever climbs out of the pit
will be caught in a snare.
The floodgates of the heavens are opened,
the foundations of the earth shake.

19 The earth is broken up,
the earth is split asunder,
the earth is thoroughly shaken.

20 The earth reels like a drunkard,
it sways like a hut in the wind;
so heavy upon it is the guilt of its rebellion
that it falls—never to rise again.

21 In that day the LORD will punish
the powers in the heavens above
and the kings on the earth below.

22 They will be herded together
like prisoners bound in a dungeon;
they will be shut up in prison
and be punished [a] after many days.

23 The moon will be abashed, the sun ashamed;
for the LORD Almighty will reign
on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem,
and before its elders, gloriously.

Joel speaks of it in chapter two. Jeremiah too. Ezekiel as well. As well as the revelation.

[Carl Rapel]

um.. yes... it will most definitely end... Everything that begins must end...... and if you say then won't God end...... i say no because God didnt have a beginning..... he always was and always will be... and if you dont understand that.. you shouldnt because you cant understand everything about God or else he wouldnt be God......

Good analogy except that as quoted many times "the world as we now know it will end" so your analogy actually proves that point in that yes you melt the 'glass' bottle and it no longer is a glass 'bottle' butt it is still glass.

as when an olive tree is beaten,
or as when gleanings are left after the grape harvest.

14 They raise their voices, they shout for joy;
from the west they acclaim the LORD's majesty.

15 Therefore in the east give glory to the LORD;
exalt the name of the LORD, the God of Israel,
in the islands of the sea.

16 From the ends of the earth we hear singing:
"Glory to the Righteous One."
But I said, "I waste away, I waste away!
Woe to me!
The treacherous betray!
With treachery the treacherous betray!"

17 Terror and pit and snare await you,
O people of the earth.

18 Whoever flees at the sound of terror
will fall into a pit;
whoever climbs out of the pit
will be caught in a snare.
The floodgates of the heavens are opened,
the foundations of the earth shake.

19 The earth is broken up,
the earth is split asunder,
the earth is thoroughly shaken.

20 The earth reels like a drunkard,
it sways like a hut in the wind;
so heavy upon it is the guilt of its rebellion
that it falls—never to rise again.

21 In that day the LORD will punish
the powers in the heavens above
and the kings on the earth below.

22 They will be herded together
like prisoners bound in a dungeon;
they will be shut up in prison
and be punished [a] after many days.

23 The moon will be abashed, the sun ashamed;
for the LORD Almighty will reign
on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem,
and before its elders, gloriously.

Joel speaks of it in chapter two. Jeremiah too. Ezekiel as well. As well as the revelation.
Look at 21 and all the rest still has people.

sorry I wasn't thinking #218

[hillsidehermit]

Can you state where in the bible it says this?

Hey furry001 read posts #222-226
I hope this helps, of course you'll need your bible for some of it.

Jesus be with you and God bless.

The world will End. Eventually. Humans will long since have departed this planet when it does happen. All species of animal will eventually die out... as has been shown throughout history, from the mightiest of dinosaurs to the smallest of plants. Do not worry... New life will evolve from our demise and i am sure, these new forms of life will become extinct long before the world ends.

There is no conclusive evidence to support the theory that one species can evolve into a completely different one.

[UncleRicky]

Is the world going to end? what sort of things do you look at to arrive at such a conclusion?

Greetings Blessed-one,

I apologize if I am repeating what someone else may have already posted... but the following scripture came to mind as I read your question..

Rev 21:1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.

Cheers,
Rick

hehe, thanks for that post...
Much better :D

[Mskedi]

It's definitely going to end, one way or another.

I hope I'm not here to see it happen, though. :(

[Grigorii]

Yes, it will.

Or more precisely, the evil that has corrupted this world. For ultimately, this world is precisely what will be saved by the glorious Second Coming of our Lord. So in that sense, this world will not be destroyed.

Depends upon what this refers to.

Ps. I answered yes, understanding my yes in the above stated qualification.

[Godslilgurlalways]

Yes, when the rapture takes place and after the seven years of tribulation

[SherryWilliams]

yes-I believe the sun has a part in the end of the world.Earth will become the new hell the land of the dead.And heaven the new earth the land of the living.Scientist say our sun is about 1/3 of the way through its expected life .In the next billion of years its hotness and brightness will increase and will make the oceans on earth boil away and life would be destroyed. I believe around this time gods people will leave this earth the ones left behind will have new bodies and will be able to tolerate this without burning up in flames, but we will still be able to feel the effects an eternity of pain which can not be relinguished and no escaping .Scientist say when this happens people will be forced to live under ground .Scientist also estimate that the sun will swell 150 times more than its present size.Than the sun will will swallow the earth .The earth sun will become what scientist call a red giant because it will be very large and red in color.

[jerek]

I believe that it will. It's right there in the Bible.

[Pariah83]

At the very least, in about 6 billion years or something the earth will be in dirrect contact with the sun. Do you think much is going to be left after that? Probably not!

[diana_ch]

Humanity as it was to humanity as we know it today... we're killing each other and destroying our world, it's eventually going to come to an end.

[spitfire07]

The world will end either scientifically (including Asteroids) or biblically.I think it might happen in my childrens life time.

[handmaiden97]

the bible refers to it, so my guess is yes....but I dont know how or when, and dont have any guesses

[ChavaK]

More than likely it will....but I don't really speculate or dwell on it. If I live a rightous life now, G-d will take
care of the future....

[krys4ever]

Yes.
I look at what the world has become. There is sooo much war and we are in the last days. The bible is being fulfilled... Many want peace and nothing seems to be resolved. Jesus Christ is coming back for the saints as well. Alleluja!!! It will be a great day for the saints, but a scary day for those who dont make it in God.

[BlessedMommy05]

I believe the world can end but the world will be restored I cant think of the scripture of it but we just do not know when, I pray I am not here, when it does.!

[jsimms615]

Yes, According to Revelation, it will end. We just don't know when.
I agree. Yes, it is going to end. Relatively soon I think.
