Zoroastrianism eschatology is the oldest eschatology in recorded history.[2][3][4] By 500 BC, Zoroastrians had fully developed a concept of the end of the world through a divine devouring in fire.
According to Zoroastrian philosophy, redacted in the Zand-i Vohuman Yasht, "at the end of thy tenth hundredth winter...the sun is more unseen and more spotted; the year, month, and day are shorter; and the earth is more barren; and the crop will not yield the seed; and men ... become more deceitful and more given to vile practices. They have no gratitude." "Honorable wealth will all proceed to those of perverted faith...and a dark cloud makes the whole sky night..and it will rain more noxious creatures than winter."
At the end of the Battle between the righteous and wicked, a Final Judgment of all souls will commence. Sinners will be punished 3 days, but are then forgiven. The world will reach perfection as poverty, old age, disease, thirst, hunger, and death are halted. Zoroastrian concepts parallel greatly with those of Jewish, Christian, and Islamic eschatological beliefs largely due to the influence Zoroastrianism exerted on Judaism whilst the Levant was under Achaemenid control and the subsequent emergence of Christianity and Islam from Judaism.

World without end because the meek will inherit the earth for the believer.
For the unbeliever it will burn like an oven. And Jesus will roll back the sky like a scroll and light will flash from the east to the west like lightning. What can be shaken will be shook with a great earthquake and the mountains will melt. The wrath of God on the wicked will be a terrible day.

It'll be great and go smoothly.
What kind of question is this?
What end of the world? Due to what? You want to know what will happen when the fenris wolf eats the sun and the midgard serpent starts squeezing the life out of the world tree?

Just what is written in revelation and matthew. I believe the church will be called up to Heaven before the really bad bowls of wrath hit. Evil people are going to have a chance to repent but most are not going to do it.

it is not important what I think,
it is only important what God thinks.
He has explained it all in the Book of the Revelation (last book of the Bible)
for you to read.

The effects of a nuke moves so fast that you won't know it when it hits you. You'll be dead before you know it.

Apocolyptic, to say the least.

I'll be in heaven, looking down. But my guess would be pretty amazing.
