Who told you its going to end ?
Well, in a point of view its going to end for the bad people who dont follow God's word and his laws...
But everything will be here after that (except sickness, death and everything bad will be gone)...the question is: are we going to be here ? Its up to us !

The Apocalypse or Armageddon is the end of the period of time God allowed humans to know what is right and what is wrong for themselves. The end of humans governing humans. After the Apocalypse, God's initial purpose for humanity will start again. Perfect people living on a paradise like Eden under his kingdom.

The world was created perfect and if Adam and Eve did not sin they would have lived forever. But they did and the world was placed under God's wrath and curse. At this point God would have been just to throw all of mankind into hell. However, God out of His own mercy decided to saved a people for Himself out of this creation. Therefore God, during this time period is gathering a people to Himself, at the resurrection they will receive a new glorified body and will inherit the new heavens and earth.

Great question. It doesn't make sense, does it?
Here are some quotes from a book that explains what "apocalypse" really means, and makes PERFECT SENSE:
Apocalypse in Greek means disclosure. It is a term applied to the disclosure of something to certain, privileged persons that is hidden from the masses. John’s original title is modernly referred to as the Apocalypse of John. Since Biblical scholars had no clue what was meant in his metaphorical text, they agreed to name it in the English Bible: the Revelation of St. John the Divine, or the Book of Revelation of Jesus Christ, the Messiah.
...
Humans have the instinctual ability to know what makes them happy and what does not. This knowledge allows them to make choices, the consequences for which they alone are responsible. With this ability to reason, which has been termed “common sense,” they are able to determine for themselves those things that perpetuate happiness, and those that take away their happiness. In order to fully appreciate and completely understand the difference, no force, no unseen entity, and no advanced being from another galaxy, intervenes to curtail the use of their free agency.
As they experience the retribution for their actions, wise ones [we] learn to value the actions that bring happiness, and depreciate the actions that take away from their happiness. These constant experiences propel the human condition towards a universal acceptance of values and circumstances that perpetuate and sustain the end desire of human existence—happiness.
In chapter 18, the true “suffering” and “burning” that will take place when Christ returns to the earth to reign is described in detail as it really is. No longer will the “hell, fire, and damnation” preaching of the “false prophets” make sense. No longer will the esoteric and fantasized explanations of the Apocalypse hold water, when given the explanations in this book received from the mouth of the original author himself.
Chapters 19 through 22 describe the events during the Millennial Reign of the One who holds the key to peace, happiness, and eternal truth— the One the world does NOT know, but will recognize as the man called in the English language, Jesus, the Christ.
Because our human experience appears to have a beginning (birth) and an end (death), which are the only things we know of a surety, we justify any action that will satisfy the pleasures we crave. The satisfaction of these fleshly desires is the essence of who we are, and in our minds, takes precedence over the pursuit of happiness of others with whom we share our existence. We become reconciled to eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow we die; and if our eating, drinking, and merriment causes unhappiness to others, it is their problem, not ours, for we have found our balance.
This is the course of the flesh, which are the truths, the doctrines and the enticements of “that old serpent, called Lucifer, the Devil, who is also called Satan, which deceiveth the whole world.”
There is only one way to conquer the flesh and cast "Satan" out: make sure those with whom you associate have the same ability and means to find happiness as you do. If all beings live to make sure everyone else around them is happy, we would all be happy. In other words, do unto others what you would have them do unto you—the commandment upon which all the laws of God, His Christ, and His prophets are predicated; and which, of course, is diametrically opposed to "Lucifer’s" plan.
If we were created for our existence to end in misery, then eternal death seems justifiable. But if happiness is to be our end, and for this reason we were created, then eternal life is preferred.
The Apocalypse (or disclosure) of John's writings has now been revealed. It is found for free in the book at the site below:
