In order to assure that you will get into heaven, its not a matter of "what should i do" or "i've sinned too much". God loves you. All you have to do to spend eternity with God in heaven, is truly believe deep in your heart that God sent his only son Jesus Christ to die for you on the cross, that he loves you-even though he knows every little detail about you. Who do you think loves you most on this earth? Well God loves you more than they could ever imagine loving you AND he knows everything about you! Wow!
If you truly want to accept Jesus into your heart, pray:
"Heavenly Father, I know that you love me and care about me more than i could ever know. Thank you for loving me and sending your only son Jesus Christ to die for me so i can spend eternity in paradise. God, I'm sorry I have denied you and sinned against you. I pray that you help day by day to be more like you and to keep you as the number one priority in my life. I love you God. Thank you. Amen."
This is what Jesus says about end times:
Matthew 24:3-14
3As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately. "Tell us," they said, "when will this happen, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?"
4Jesus answered: "Watch out that no one deceives you. 5For many will come in my name, claiming, 'I am the Christ,[a]' and will deceive many. 6You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. 7Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. 8All these are the beginning of birth pains.
9"Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me. 10At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, 11and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. 12Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, 13but he who stands firm to the end will be saved. 14And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.
I think, and I think it would be neat, if Jesus came to bring home his followers in our lifetime. The unbelievers would be left behind, and the antichrist will take over. Amazingly, and this shows the love of God, unbelievers will still be able to accept God after the rapture.
I hope this helped. God Bless.

Whether the World will end soon or not, you will end at the time appointed; and I hope after a long, satisfying life, you shall certainly die like every body else. Now if you die, do you know where you will end? Do you have any assurances in your own heart that you will certainly meet your Savior and go to Heaven and spend your eternity in His kingdom? His kingdom which no man can describe, and is beyond our imagination and awareness with respect to its splendor and beauty.

Trust the Lord Jesus, and ask Him to forgive you for your sins. invite Him into your life believe He has forgiven you. Do not to the, best of your ability go back to your sins. Do it one day at a time knowing that if you slip up He will forgive you. Say the prayer, Jesus taught us to pray every night.Matthew 6-9. Every morning when you wake up thank Him for His mercies. Read, Psalms I36, all about His Mercies Invite Him to live in your heart forever. Read Mark 16- 16. " He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned.
As for your question about the world ending soon, I think that all of the signs indicate that it could happen soon but we should not worry about that we must just trust the Lord right now, believe and ask and seek. Seek Jesus. Read the scriptures. Find a church that believes that every Word of the scripture are literal or are truth. Believe and be baptized is my prayer for you. Just trust the Lord right now after asking Him to forgive you and know that He has. Ask Him to help you find out what to do next and rest in it believing that He will and enjoy this day He has given us. The scriptures tell us that no man knows the day or the hour that the Lord will come but we must be ready at all times as we could die at any time. So just trust Him right this moment and ask Him what to do next. Don't worry about it after that just continue to seek. Him. Read Matthew 7-7" Ask, and it will be given to you; seek and you will find, knock and it will be opened to you. Then after you read that start at the first of the chapter and read the whole chapter. If you dont have a Bible Just ask Him to send you to help you find one or someone who does and believe and when He tells you to go pay attention. Just wait upon the Lord for your answer because if it is not what you ask for it is not from the Lord as the gives us the very thing we need.Read Matthew 7-10. I dont mean that the Lord always answers our prayers in this manner but if you read Matthew 7- 10 you will begin to under stand how God answers prayers according to our need.Sometimes we may ask the Lord for the wrong thing so be careful what you ask for . It is better to ask Him to show you what you need.

If you are one of God's chosen ones He will draw you to himself. He will open your heart (mind) to repent and believe the gospel. He gives you the faith to trust in Jesus' death on the cross and resurrection from the dead to be the payment for your sins. He will keep you in the palms of His hands for all eternity! The Bible teaches that no one can snatch you out of His hands.
Will the world end soon? I'm not sure, but I sure wish Jesus would come back soon!

Simply this:
Ask Jesus Christ to forgive you of all your sins, believing in your heart that He died on the cross, was buried, and arose the third day, and that He HEARS you---Ask Him to come into your heart and CHANGE you, and He WILL!
It's that simple.
It's not that ANYONE knows the time or day the world will end- it's just that knowing Jesus Christ as your Savior, will make you KNOW you are going to Heaven, when you die! That makes it easier for me to enjoy my life. In Christ, is joy and peace and true happiness.
You may not "feel" anything, but if you mean it when you ask Him to forgive you and to change your life--He will do it.
