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.

well, if you are talking about the end of the "world", well the mayan calendar say that in 2012, our world will be washed out by somekind of disasters and only the smart ones will survive and learn how to love and share again. Like a new start. Anyway I think we really need it with the kind of society we have now

Yes, Me and my Father do.
The end is going to be the beginning. The end is another transformation. Life is a process of growth, and life never ends only transforms into another being to grow.
Therefore, the end is the beginning.

God says that nobody knows the end of time, not even the angels but he said that we will have signs and boy do we ever!

The end can't end, or it wouldn't be the end.
