Matt.24:3,36; This world ends, only God knows day and hour, Jesus bring eternity, what world is it that ends??

Question

Eph.3:21 Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.

Answer 1

Earth as it is now.

Answer 2

The better translation in the NKJV is "to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen."

Youngs Literal Translation is "to Him is the glory in the assembly in Christ Jesus, to all the generations of the age of the ages. Amen."

Jesus said Heaven and Earth WILL pass away. But we also know in Revelation that there will be a new heaven and a new earth.

Answer 3

"World" meaning the population of wicked mankind not the planet Earth. It would make absolutely no sense for God to create the world to just detroy it. God does not have to destroy the earth in order to eliminate the frightful conditions that are so prevalent on it. The earth is not causing the problems in human society today. People are responsible, especially people who have little or no regard for the Creator, Jehovah God, and his laws. They are the ones who are turning life on this earth into a nightmare for so many. But God does not have to destroy the earth to rid it of such ones.
For example, if you found your home infested with mice, how would you get rid of them? Would you burn down your house? No! Instead, you would likely find some other means such as traps; or perhaps you would get a cat. You would not destroy the house.
Similarly, in Jesus’ illustration about the end of the world, he said that a farmer had sowed his field with wheat, but during the night his enemy came and sowed weeds there. The farmer did not burn his whole wheat field just to get rid of the weeds. Instead, when his workers wanted to pull out the weeds that had started to grow, the farmer said: “No, . . . you’ll hurt the wheat if you do. Let both grow together until the harvest, and I will tell the reapers to sort out the thistles and burn them, and put the wheat in the barn.”

Then Jesus concluded: “Just as in this story the thistles are separated and burned, so shall it be at the end of the world: I will send my angels and they will separate out . . . all who are evil, and throw them into the furnace and burn them.”—Matthew 13:24-26, 29, 30, 40-42, The Living Bible.

Jesus also likened “the end of the world” to what happened at the time of the global Flood in Noah’s day. (Matthew 24:37-39) At that time it was not the earth itself that was destroyed. Rather, it was ungodly humans. Because of the shocking behavior of the people living back then, God said: “I am going to wipe men whom I have created off the surface of the ground.” (Genesis 6:7) Likewise, the apostle Peter spoke of the ancient “world of ungodly people” that was destroyed back in Noah’s time. It was not planet Earth that perished.—2 Peter 2:5.

Why, though, do many confuse the expression “the end of the world” with the destruction of planet Earth? One reason is the prevalence of such teaching in many of today’s religions.

Answer 4

It is speaking of this earth as we know it today. The disciples equated the return of Jesus as being the end of the world. When Jesus returns for the saints, the wicked will perish and their bodies will litter the earth. (No second chances.)

But when Jesus brings the New Jerusalem to this earth, the wicked will be resurrected. Shortly after that they will be destroyed by fire, and the fire will cleanse the earth. And the final step is that the saints will be able to watch Jesus recreate this earth as it was before Adam and Eve ate the fruit.

Answer 5

Not the world physically, but the 'world' socially as we know it.
God will not destroy the world, but clean it of all unrighteousness.
People dont have any idea what this means, but the answer is spelled out quite plainly. God had given His commandments in Torah. Anything that goes against these commandments are unrighteousness. So all the liars, murders, thieves, worshippers of false gods and the like will be removed from the world.

Answer 6

IT is the sin of the world we live in..he will wipe out all things ruining the earth and the wicked ones...as you may see,this was written for our time,do you see in all chapter 24 of Matthew and 2 Tim.3:1-5.....this is our time,but as for us 1,000 years is 1 day to God 2Peter 3:8; Rev 12:12

Answer 7

The world doesn't really end.. The point in time that we are waiting for is the beginning of the great tribulation and 7 years of plagues and disasters.
In the future God recreates the world to like it was in the beginning. no sin and no sinners.
Yahoo answers will be very different in those days.

Answer 8

The world that ends is the present world, the one corrupted by sin. after the 7 years of Judgement mentioned in Revelation, there will be a new heaven and a new earth, with everyone living in a new Jerusalem.

Answer 9

There are worlds: Noatic,Jewish ,gentile, Millenium, world without end. God destroyed the first world thru a flood , the jewsih in a.d 70, the gentile world will be destroyed in armageddon, Jesus will reign for one thousand years from Jerusalem and clean up sin, and then it will be world without end. I would leave scripture references, but if you would like to carry on the convers. I will log back on t-mrw. I need to get ready for bed.Email me..

Answer 10

there is a doctrine of destruction of this world in the Bible, but not a total destruction, as there will also be a renewal...a renewed earth , renewed bodies. The fire that destroys purges, and there will then be a new or renewed heavens and earth.
Romans 8 mentions a bit of this. Revelation 21?

Answer 11

There will be a new world, people will be living in peace and absolute harmony. Everybody will be reborn from the sinful ended world.
