Scientists are fairly uncertain about how the universe will end due to the dark matter problem.
Some scientists believe it will go on forever, forever expanding, unfortunatly, assuming the proton does not decay, all matter will collapse into black holes eventually (note that we are talking about 10x billions of years)
Some scientists believe it will start to collapse and it will return to the quantom singularity that existed before the big bang. From there, it coud re-big bang.
What happened before the big bang, what happens after the big crunch? No one knows. Perhaps that is were God comes into play.

I am surprised of some of the answers you have received to your questions. You don´t need to be on jupiter to prove its existence, you can observe it and through scientific methods and with brains you can conclude results. The same happens with the end of the universe also with its beginning. There are measurements as to what happened in small fraction of a second before the big bang (it is a definite fact, not words written in a book two thousand years ago by people who didn´t understand the true origin of life). The universe will end in 10 (200) years. This number is unimaginable, it is very very large. The known universe is calculated to have 10 (18) stars, now think about that huge number. When the universe reaches this age, all protons and known matter will evaporate, no radiation of any kind, no entropy and perhaps true absolute zero temperature.

Neither science nor the Bible can prove that something WILL happen. Nor can they often prove that something DID happen, unless it was observed, and to prove it to me, I'd pretty much have to have been the observer for it to really be proven.
There are lots of guesses about what the "end of the universe" might be like. You have to choose from among them. The more information you have about what has been observed, what can be measured, and what theories about those observations and measurements make sense, the easier it will be to choose. That's science.
If you think the Bible has the answer, you don't need to choose anything. Read it, interpret it, accept it, and that's that. That's faith.

Science suggests that entropy is maximized! Everything just runs down into pure chaos! What happens NEXT is the interesting bit!
God may well have to say "Let there be light!" all over again.

No scientific proof of ending universe.
Bible they can write anything they want. No relevence to the reality. It was more about making money using religion than anything else.

great question.I see you humans are intersted in astronomy and astrophysics.Well,almost every scientist in the known universe agree that the universe will keep expanding forever
