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 man knows the hour of the end, but it will come. We can only live as if it will far off as far as plans and dreams, but with relationships live each day as your last.

Perhaps we will all become obsessive river dancers and be unable to stop dancing until so many earthquakes are triggered by the vigorous vibrations that the world explodes. Yes... I think that will be it... but it will likely be 374 years from now, so you don't need to worry about it.

A large asteroid impact within the next one thousand years. Geologically speaking that is VERY soon.
Or maybe we'll just nuke ourselves first. Unlikely, but still a possibility within the next hundred years.

Sometime between the next few minutes to about seventy years or so. It ends with our deaths... spooky but true.

"A series of natural disasters caused by a comet that will allow the third Antichrist to disperse his troops around the globe under the guise of aid in preparation for a possible nuclear war, although in the strictest sense it is unspecific as to nuclear war or some other natural or man caused destruction." lol, it just might...
(And lol to the one above me, and the book of "Revaluations"... the spell checker isn't always your friend!)

If my luck holds it will not happen while I am alive because it would be to much fun to rule in a world gone amuck.
