It depends upon what you mean by the "apocalypse". Do you mean after the end of the book of Revelation which is another term for Apocalypse? Do you mean after the battle in the valley of Armageddon? Anyhow, here's what He is going to do at the end.
"But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, and then the heavens will pass away with a roar, and the heavenly bodies will be burned up and dissolved, and the earth and the works that are done on it will be exposed. Since all these things are thus to be dissolved, what sort of people ought you to be in lives of holiness and godliness, waiting for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be set on fire and dissolved, and the heavenly bodies will melt as they burn! But according to his promise we are waiting for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells. 2 Peter 3:10-13
"Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God. He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning nor crying nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away." And he who was seated on the throne said, "Behold, I am making all things new." Also he said, "Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true." And he said to me, "It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. To the thirsty I will give from the spring of the water of life without payment. The one who conquers will have this heritage, and I will be his God and he will be my son. But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death." Revelation 21:1-8

Wow. How arrogant you people are to believe in an apocalypse, and to believe you know the fate of the universe through some old book written by men long dead. What really frightens me is that there are those who would try to force God's hand on the apocalypse, trying to bring it about sooner, confident in their own piousness that they will be 'saved' miraculously.
This universe is more permanent and awe-inspiring and is filled with more possibilities than anything your theology could possibly imagine.
Your 'god' as you call it is pathetic and simple compared to the reality that surrounds us. The worst sin is the sin you commit by being surrounded by the truth and being completely resistant to it. Grow up and open your mind just little, and you will be truly saved.

It'll be the equivalent of any retired person.
He'll be bored at first, then go to his local bingo night and probably go to church more. He'll soon develop a poor bladder and will need to get up at least 3 times a night. It's sad, but true.

Are you asking will that be the end of God?
I don't think so. The universe is a pretty darn big place.
