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 apacolypse.
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.

There are specific signs of times for the end of the world in the Bible but God is so very much careful not to mention the specific date of the end of this "grace" dispensation we are in. This is because the "Rapture" is so fast that it is only in the twinkling of an eye (1 Corinthians 15:52) Yet Peter said in 2 Peter 3:8, that "one day in the Lord is a thousand years for man, and a thousand years for man is one day in the Lord".

4004 BC.
According to some Biblical followers, this is the beginning of the world. Since all are equal and opposite, it would also be the end.
It's what? 2007? I must be late, late for a very important date....
