Yes, the world will end, but not for a long time. Nuts have been predicting it is soon for centuries. They've been wrong thus far, and they will continue to be wrong. If you are a Christian, the Bible says no one knows when it'll end. These nuts who predict the end soon are going against the Bible. Matthew 16:27-28 predicts that people hearing Jesus' sermon would live to see him "coming in his kingdom". Wrong again! Whether you go with Revelation or Nostrodamus, you will be wrong if you predict the imminent end. The Sun will destoy Earth, but that won't happen for several billion years.

Yes we are closer than ever to the end of this system of things.
Now then - who will survive and who will not?
When God's judgments are executed against this world, who will survive? Who will not? The Bible shows that those who want God's rule will be protected and will survive. Those who do not want God's rule will not be protected but will be destroyed along with Satan's world.
Proverbs 2:21, 22 says: "The upright [those who submit to God's rule] are the ones that will reside in the earth, and the blameless are the ones that will be left over in it. As regards the wicked [those who do not submit to God's rule], they will be cut off from the very earth; and as for the treacherous, they will be torn away from it."
Psalm 37:10, 11 also says: "Just a little while longer, and the wicked one will be no more . . . But the meek ones themselves will possess the earth, and they will indeed find their exquisite delight in the abundance of peace." Verse 29 adds: "The righteous themselves will possess the earth, and they will reside forever upon it."
We should take to heart the counsel of Psalm 37:34, which states: "Hope in Jehovah and keep his way, and he will exalt you to take possession of the earth. When the wicked ones are cut off, you will see it." Verses 37 and 38 say: "Watch the blameless one and keep the upright one in sight, for the future of that man will be peaceful. But the transgressors themselves will certainly be annihilated together; the future of wicked people will indeed be cut off."
How comforting, yes, how inspiring it is to know that God really does care and that soon he will put an end to all wickedness and suffering! How thrilling it is to realize that the fulfillment of those glorious prophecies is but a short time off!

I am just scientifically speaking here but the earth will come to an end someday.By way of the Sun expiring.It will not last forever.
I guess the question is will the world end according to how it is laid out in Revelations.The answer is that the bible does contain mistakes and contradictions(Im not going into all of them but there are approx 10 distinct).It is possible that Revelations Armagedon is just another mistake, parable, scare tactic, or story with its own hidden meaning and intentions.

I think so to read Matthew the 24th chapter sounds like a newspaper.
But it is only going to get worse, mt 24:22 says it will be the greatest tribulation the world has ever seen.
Unless those days were cut short no flesh would be saved alive.

That's one theory---but in order to have a theory, you would need to know what the Bible says on the subject. Theories are composed of hypotheses arrived at by comparisons of information. If you only have your opinion and do not have a thorough amount of information pertaining to the Bible, then you would not have a working theory.

No, they have been saying that for 2000 years. And there has been nonstop war in the middle east for at least 50 years and the end hasn't came yet.

some prophesy is divine but men are tempted to act out some of them just because of human nature. besides, many points such as in the bible are human nature too. yes, world will most definitely end one day, maybe you'll even live to see it....
