I've been taught in church that the world will end in flames and chaos, but what the Bible says does not have to mean it will end totally. Perhaps all things will go back to the way everything was before Adam and Eve, or not that far but before the luxuries that have spoilt humankind today (like technology, electricity, money, etc...)
What do you think?

I admire that you are asking something about the Bible. It may seem easy, but people out there don't believe in God and might make fun of you. I won't though. I'm a pure Christian and proud to admit it to anyone in the world! Well, my answer for your question is this: The world will end as we know it, like the world began.

In the Bible the word "world" has different meanings.Sometimes the world means the earth(Acts 17:24) At other times it can mean mankind (John 1:2)
Psalms 37:29 promises that the righteous will possess the earth and live on it FOREVER.
Rev.11:18 tells us Jah will bring to a ruin those ruining the earth.
So from the Bible we see that when the destruction of the world is mentioned it doesn't mean the physical earth.
Once we start taking in accurate knowledge of Jehovah the Bible becomes less complicated and more enlightening.
Enlighten yourself!

I take the apocalypse so personally, that I don't care about the 5 or 6 billion people that will die. That's why I think the book of Revelation, is about my death, me.
It has nothing to do with the wars in the middle east, or earthquakes that kill many. Those are reminders, to me, that I'm going to die. And the world "as I know it", will be over, forgotten, done.
My fondest wish, is to wake, seemingly an instant later, with a man in white to meet me. The world, and the time that passed while I was 'dead', will seem meaningless to me.
A personal relationship with your savior, can be a very selfish endeavore.

it will not end in flames, what part of the bible is that from? only this system of things will end, the bad people, it will be back to when adam and eve were on it, that was how God originally purposed. its not supposed to end totally, the bible brings out that the righteous will live on the earth and in heaven. do u agree?

Depending on your religion and what you have been taught it could mean different things. I was taught that our world is going to end, like in the days of Noah. But I also think that there WILL be another Eden.

Stop worrying about the end of the world. It will end for each person when their time comes. It is useless to constantly think of how you are going to die when you could be deciding on how to live your life in a way that pleases you, not how it pleases a god.

It means that the world is constantly evolving and changing, and if people dont accept it they will be destroyed by the Creator, who does not like the Puritian mindsets of Christians and the barabarianism of Muslims

it means that the world with its dark age ideas will change and accept higher learning and higher spiritual growth instead of religious dogma and doctorine
what has really spoiled mankind is the belief that we are all damned at birth and need someone to pull us out of a mudhole we ourselves mentally created. we save ourselves. its a concept that christians hate but its the honest brutal truth and if you dont like it stick it up your butt.
I believe in God but not your God neither do i worship your Satan.
I do realize the smear campaign agianst a God that doesnt even hang out in this galaxy is beyond ridiculous.

At the second coming of Jesus, The world, the universe, and time will come to an end. Heaven and Hell is all that will be left.
