The Earth has about 4000 million years left, maybe more, until the Sun runs short of available nuclear fuel and swells to a red "giant", perhaps swallowing the Earth. But before that the Sun will start to swell a little and things will start to hot up. That will be in perhaps 1500 million years.

dont worry the planet will survive ,but it is unlikely that we will
many predictions are for the years between 2012 and 2020
Nostradamus,the mayas ,Egyptions Jesus ,and Terrance Mckennas time wave who put the magnetic out put of the world in to a computor projection that stopped at zero in 2012,this stops the globe and it starts turning into
the other direction ,the resulting change of currents will turn the planet into a giant washing machine cleaning the surface
then there are the meteor showers you mentioned ,the gulf of Mexico is the result of one that would have made life exstinct for a while ,this would result in an other ice age if the globe is covered in dust
then there are natural disasters
Volcanos are coming to life everywhere
the weather has giant storms like hurricanes ,tornados ,tidal waves ,earth quackes
a shift of the earth crust ,like a changing of the poles
under Anrarctica were found fosilized tropical plants indication the pole must have been in a different place then (the mainland atlantis is thought to be under it )
Now we got Global warming to contend with (see my answer on global warming)
and the USA appears to be gunning for a global nuclear conflict .it is most likely that this will get us first looking at present politics
but the planet will probably survive unless humanities bombs result it to be knocked out of its orbit
so many ends to choose from
if it wasnt so serious it would be rediculous
meanwhile enjoy life .and make the most of it at least we are all in the same boat

I don't think the world will ever end, however we may eventually change this planet enough for it to be unable to support human life. If that happens some other life form will just take over.
Let's hope we are clever enough to stop before it's too late, the Earth is a great self healer.

Go and read any work you can by Nostradamus. He's probably the biggest authority on the subject.

A grim answer to your grim question. There is no positive date but it will begin to end when you are on your deathbed.
