I've often heard various theologians prophesy the coming of the end of the world. Several such deadlines as the 2012 one of the Mayan calendar to Nostradamus' predictions.
A number of these deadlines, however, such as that for the year 2000, have already come and gone with obviously no world-ending consequences. What of these? Did God lie, or did His followers misinterpret Him?

reginachick22: Thanks for the clarification. If these false prophets speak of the coming of the end of the world, then who are the true prophets? If you say the Bible, are you sure, because the Bible has passed through so many human hands, who knows whether someone could've changed stuff here and there for whatever purpose.

The Bible never actually gives a date. You are referring to (false) "prophets", to whom Christianity gives no credit to. You are confusing psychics with God. Not even in the same category.
Hope this helped clear up the confusion for you.

I assure you that the world will not end on December 21, 2012 or in the near future. Nostradamus prediction when the earth will end is far into the future, about 3700. In the book of Revelation, it tells us about a period of a thousand years of peace. Has this occurred already since the time of Jesus? Not yet. That will still come. Those that give such predictions as 2012 and numerous times during the past are pseudo-preachers. They have not talked to God directly yet.
But there is something that is certain—and that is our physical death. It may come when least expected. We do not know the day and the hour. It will come like a thief in the night. So we just have to be prepared all the time. Search for the true God and when we find Him, follow His commandments and remain in Him until our last dying breath.
This is all that we have to do. It is faith in Him that we can take with us when we depart from this world. If we deny Him, He will deny us also before the Father in Heaven. If we know Him and love Him and followed His commandments, then He may reward us to live with Him eternally in His kingdom in Heaven.

There will be one end of the world--that's all. In several billion years when the sun runs out of hydrogen, it will start fusing helium and expand into a red giant. When it does that mercury, venus, and earth will be incinerated.

"It's the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine." It's all dependent on what people consider as the "end" apparently. Some feel it's the end as they know it, or an actual destruction of all humanity and/or the entire planet.
