I know no one actually knows, I'm a Christian so I believe that Jesus will come again when th God, his father, tells him to. I was just curious to see what other people thought.

The Sun will go Super Nova on Tuesday week and 1355 GMT.
We'll all be dead before lunch on Wednesday, except for a few Americans in really good bunkers (they get 3 more hours).
The world will actually end about Friday when it is engulfed by the expanding Sun.

When will the end come? Matthew 24:36 "Concerning that day and hour, nobody knows, neither the angels of the heavens nor the Son but only the Father." This Scripture also refutes the Trinity concept because if the Father, Son and Holy Spirit is one, then Jesus as a third of the triumvirate should know when the end of the world will come.
Revelation foretells of the day of the great war of the Almighty. Rev 19:11,16 " and I saw the heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True...and he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written. KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS''.
continuing,, Revelation 19:19.20 "and I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies , gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army. And the beast was taken and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his imageThese both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone". The world will end with God with Jesus by his side battling the devil and his armies made up of human governments and their followers . After God's victory over Satan and his cohorts, earth will be restored to the paradise it once was where "the righteous themselves will possess the earth, and they will reside forever upon it."
Matthew chapter 24 verses 1-15 also details the signs of the things that must come to pass which serves as a prelude to Jesus's second coming. These are:
1. Someone who will pretend to be the Christ.
2. Wars
3.Food shortages.
4. Earthquakes
5. Tribulations, e.g religious persecution
6. False prophets
7. increasing lawlessness.

The end of the world is metaphorical. It refers to the end of an old world order and the beginning of a new. According to the Book of Daniel in the Bible, the world is meant to end in 1844 AD. In fact, Baha'is believe that it did end then with the coming of the Bab, who announced that the Promised Day of God had come. The Resurrection came to pass as people received spiritual life and left the tombs of their own selves. New principles and teachings were revealed which will allow us to establish the Kingdom of God on earth, as promised in the Scriptures. Daniel also promised the year 1863, which is when Baha'u'llah came. He was promised by the Bab. Baha'u'llah is the long-awaited Promised One of all religions, the return of Christ in the Glory of the Father. He wrote over a 100 volumes of sacred scripture detailing how the new world order should be established. Everywhere, His teachings of peace, justice and harmony are taking root and the "good fruits" are endless and evident. The Baha'i Faith which He established is now the second-most widespread religion on the planet and is a true cross-section of the entire human race vibrant with diversity. Baha'u'llah wrote: "The earth is but one country and mankind its citizens."
Jesus explained that "return" is metaphorical. John the Baptist is not literaly Elijah, but He is in spirit. It is like a rose which returns each year. The individuality of the rose is not the same, but each year we see a new rose and proclaim "Here is that same rose returned." In the same sense, Jesus and Baha'u'llah do not have the same individuality, but the same quality, the same "good fruits" and the same message, adapted to the age in which we now live. It is the same "Good News" (Gospel) made anew, the Word of God made flesh in the person of Baha'u'llah. Baha'u'llah is the return of the same Logos, a new Mirror reflecting the same sun (God), a new lamp shining with the same light. Let us be followers of the sun and the light and not overly attached to the mirror and the lamp.

Soon, Jesus will come again. He will bring a new earth about, this is a world with out end. It is just the way the world is that will end and that he will destroy Satan and the demons and those that follow Satan.
The Messiah is close if you pay attention, you will see the signs coming about talked about throughout the Bible. Read Ezekiel and Daniel and Revelations. Jeremiah and Issac and Acts. Its all over the Bible, we do not know the day, but we are given signs that it will let us know it is close.
End days will happen just how the Bible says it will.

Matthew 24:36 says that not even Jesus knew when He will come back. The world will end after the tribulation and after Christ's return. God's Word says that the heavens and earth will be destroyed and there will be a new heaven and new earth (Revelation 21:1). Believers will inhabit the new earth and those who denied Christ as Lord and Savior will be separated for eternity from God.

The ice caps will melt to a point where the earth won't be able to reflect some of the sun's energy back into space. Unless something changes, I think the effects will become obvious in the next 50 years. How long it will take for the oceans to boil I have no idea. Thousands of years. Of course, your pal Jesus can just step in and say "juuuuuust kidding, here's your polar caps back." Maybe he could borrow some ice from hell when it freezes over.

The end will come by fire at the second coming of the Savior Jesus Christ our Lord.
Just after He raises His people from the earth the rest will be destroyed by the brightness of His coming and the Earth will be cleansed with fire.
God Bless and have a safe and
Happy New Year !

There will be a "second coming" of the LORD JESUS. HE will come at the time the FATHER has chosen and none will know that time, Not Even the SON! At that time we will all be separated to the left or right as goats and sheep some for heaven the others to hell. That time NONE will KNOW but the FATHER. Have a great week.

Yes, the world will end. The earth will end in 6 billion years when it is swallowed by the sun. If we assume the current inflationary trend of the universe, it could be said to end in approx 10^100 years once the last black hole evaporates and all the energy of the universe is in the form of low grade heat (as no life will exist then), but in theory it will continue forever.

Of course it will. If living creatures can die, why can't everything else "ends"? But nobody really knows when. Sometimes an end of a person's life is a beginning of another person's life, it's just a cycle. We'll die so others can live, regardless how and in what form.
