For us - never and then again, in the next second. Life is never certain.

It could be 28 minutes from now or 280 years from now. When the superpowers square off against each other in two camps, then come back and we'll talk apacolpse.
Until then, just think regional conflicts, wars between rump states, proxy wars and brinksmanship. If you recall the Yom Kippur War in 1973, a coalition of Arab States (Egypt, Syria and Jordan) were soundly defeated by the Israelis. That was a worse situation than the current conflict and it didn't raise a blip on the world war radar (not that it didn't have the potential to spark a global war).
The next World War will involve a nuclear exchange, how could it not. In the first 30 minutes, nearly a billion people will have been vaporised, mostly in the US, Russia, Europe, China and Japan. Another 1.5 billion will die shortly thereafter from radiation poisoning. The northern hemisphere will be plunged into prolonged agony and barbarity.
Eventually the nuclear winter will spread to the southern hemisphere and all plant life will die. You ask when is the apacolypse, you are asking when will we commit global suicide. My answer is it won't happen soon because the larger superpowers are more rational than the rump states in the middle east.
Our biggest risk is an accidental launch of nukes by one of the nuclear powers.

No one knows when the end is, but only God. We could be killed by an unforseen accident, or sickness. So live each day to the best of your ability, doing God's will. So that when the end is here, we will be judged according to our good deeds, and not for our bad. Don't give up on life. Live it with happiness, love, peace, joy, and respect. This is what God wants us to do.

To know when the end might be, one must first know when is the beginning. It is just like when some say death is the end but some say it is just the beginning and others say it is part of the journey.
Which standards are we basing this on? Which angles are we looking this from? Whose beliefs are we understand and analyse it from?

Even though many think that death means the cessation of one's existence, that is not true. The Bible teaches us that eternity is for us all. The issue is where you will spend it. Those who claim Jesus as Savior know that they will spend eternity. Those who reject Jesus will spend eternity in hell. Harsh? Yes and no. The offer to claim Jesus is to everyone. That is actually very inclusive, not intolerant, as some would suggest.
