Does time with Jesus ever end?
Eph.2:7; 3:21;
Rev.20:1 And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. 20:2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, 20:3 And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.
20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. 20:5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.

CHRIST JESUS THE SAVIOR OF THE WORLD GIVES ETERNAL LIFE:
How could there be all these promised from the Savior if time was going to end. If Jesus offers eternal life, how can there be and end of time?
Matt.24: 3 [ end of world ], 14 [ The gospel of Jesus kingdom [ that is no part of this world John 18:37 ]; shall be preached to all the world ], JESUS IS GOING TO COME A SECOND TIME TO BRING ETERNAL LIFE AS PROMISED.
Michael of Jude 9; in Dan.12:1-13;
time of the end, at Rev.12:3,4,6-11,12; gives Satan a short time in the end time to Rev.20:1-6; The second coming of Jesus and his time has no end, 1Thes.4:15-17; as
these caught up are to be with Jesus.

Doma,
When Rev.12:3,4,6-11,12; happens to Satan, has his time for being in heaven ended? Where will Satan spent the short time he has left?
When Rev.20:1-6; happens for sure his short time is over and his time of 1000 years in the pit begans, he can not deceive the nations for this period of time,
This is 1000 years but Jesus has promised eternal life.

So the answer to why people say, "end of time," is likely
the youth [ asker said, " I'm scared to death." ] or those not knowing the second coming of Jesus is a reverse of all that's been since the world from Eden. 2Pet.3:13; All New.
Matt.24:3; "the sign of second coming of Jesus, the end of
the world." [ Jesus world is without end. Eph.2:7; 3:21 ];
Matt.24:14 [Jesus kingdom is coming for those who believe
it will happen ];
The book of Daniel, "time of the end", [ or end time for
short, is getting closer to the 2nd coming of Jesus ].
2Tim.3:1-7; "the last days." [ of the second coming of
Jesus and those that do not believe it will happen ];
Rev,10:6; "time no longer," [ as close as time gets to the
second coming of Jesus ].
We that trust Christ to give life eternal, should help youth to trust as we do, it is a promise he gave his life for. John 3:16; 17:3;

Thanks to everyone,
So many contributed to help understand this, it takes all verses on the subject to get it rightly divided
in the word, "end of time", sounds like nothing after, "end time," leave room to think that it is time for the second coming of Christ Jesus, so
that no one needs to be afraid.
We will see what voters think.

What and When Is the Time of the End?
The expression the time of the end is found in five different places in the book of Daniel. When Gabriel appeared to Daniel, the angel explained to him that he had "come to cause you to discern what will befall your people in the final part of the days, because it is a vision yet for the days to come."
Jesus explained that the harvest time that he used in his illustration was actually the period of the conclusion of this present wicked system of things.
In the parable of the wheat and weeds, Matthew 13:39 says: "The harvest is a conclusion of a system of things, and the reapers are angels. Therefore, just as weeds are collected and burned with fire, so it will be in the conclusion of the system of things. The Son of man will send forth his angels, and they will collect out from his kingdom all things that cause stumbling and persons who are doing lawlessness, and they will pitch them into the fiery furnace."
And in the illustration of the dragnet, Jesus said at Matthew 13:49: "That is how it will be in the conclusion of the system of things: the angels will go out and separate the wicked from among the righteous and will cast them into the fiery furnace."
The question is: has Christ sent forth his angels to separate the wicked from the righteous?
No, obviously not. Matthew 24:40 situates the separation as taking place during the time of Christ's thief-like arrival, which is why in the 42nd verse he went on to urge us to "keep on the watch, therefore, because you do not know on what day your Lord is coming."

We are in the final generation. Do you think life will go on in this fleshly age forever, and that Christ will never come back.
Matt 24, Mark 13, Luke 21 give the seven seals.
Mat 24:3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?
Three questions were asked.
Tell us, when shall these things be?
what shall be the sign of thy coming?
and of the end of the world?
Mat 24:32 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:
Whats summer time? Harvest time, harvest of people.
Jer 24 goes more into detail.
Mat 24:33 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.
It=end of this age.
Mat 24:34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.
Which generation? The generation of the fig tree, started in 1948 when the little nation of Israel (good and bad figs/people ) returned and became a nation again. That had not happened for some 2000 years. That started the final generation.
Mat 24:15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)
"abomination of desolation" is Satan standing in the Holy Place (2 Ths 2) pretending to be GOD. Which has to happen before we gather back to the real Christ.

End time is when we are talking about when the devil sets up his short rule on the earth (7 years). Then Jesus comes for 1000 years, and the devil is locked up at this time. After this he is loosed for a season, defeated, and then the Great White Throne Judgment...... . So we don't know the time, but we know when tribulation starts, this "starts" the countdown, and in about 1007 years is the Great White Throne Judgment. So in looking at the past, this gets us very close to the "end of time".
When we leave this world, there is eternity,...forever. So time as we know it may change, but eternity is a long time.

We are now in what the Bible refers to as the "end times" or "last days". This period started on the day of Pentecost in the first century AD.
Acts 2:14 But Peter, standing with the eleven, lifted up his voice and addressed them, "Men of Judea and all who dwell in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and give ear to my words. 15 For these men are not drunk, as you suppose, since it is only the third hour of the day. 16 But this is what was uttered through the prophet Joel: 17 "'And in the last days it shall be, God declares, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams;
The final end of this time is the 7 years before Jesus comes back as prophecied in the book of Revelation and in the book of Daniel.
Then there is the debatable meaning of the 1,000 year reign of Christ here on earth and finally the creation of a new heaven and earth in Revelation 20 & 21.
Probably most people mean the beginning of the 7 year tribulation before the coming of Christ when they are talking about the "end of time".

should be end of the age - refers to the passing away of the old covenant (temple system, animal sacrifice) and the advent of a new better covenant.
when the Bible talks about the world, it's talking about the known world, and is somewhat allegorical. Like when someones "whole world is rocked," or "my whole world turned upside down !."
I am a Christian, but some people believe the Gospel of Jesus Christ has to go out to "The whole world," and then the end. Well, that's impossible, because the second it does, someone is being born, or reaching the age of accountability (which is a made-up concept by the way)

Most Christians believe we're in the end times, when all the sinners will be destroyed, some believe in a rapture where Jesus takes them away and some don't, but in the end, the world is destroyed as we know it. Comes from Corinthians and Revelations, mostly, and has been believed for a hundreds of years. Most people think that the prophecies are being fulfilled just now... so the end is near. I don't believe this, but I know about it.

A couple of things. First, I think they probably mean more like "End of the world as we know it." (In other words, this world will end and the Lord will create a *new* heavens and *new* earth, just as He has said in scripture).
Secondly, for those who really do mean "end of time", I don't think they're wrong. Many Christians, if not most, if they've thought about it much, think that time is something imposed on us by the fall. God is outside of time and is eternal, and so is Heaven. So it's doubtful that in the new earth and new heavens that time will be there either. More than likely, time will end at some point, if not on earth, then definitely in heaven.

There are 4 dimensions in nature, length, width, height and time. We live in time.....God, the angels, saints and demons live outside of time.
Currently, we are living in the era of Satan, who was given temporary control of the world....Upon Jesus' return, St. Michael will cast Satan into hell....and Jesus will initiate His Era of Peace....at that point....time will cease, and the Faithful will live in eternity.
The Era of Peace
