Answer 1

Will the earth be burned up?

THE BIBLE’S ANSWER: “[God] has founded the earth upon its established places; it will not be made to totter to time indefinite, or forever.”—PSALM 104:5.

The earth will not be destroyed, either by fire or by any other means. Instead, the Bible teaches that this planet is mankind’s eternal home. Psalm 37:29 says: “The righteous themselves will possess the earth, and they will reside forever upon it.”—Psalm 115:16; Isaiah 45:18. After God created the earth, he said that it “was very good,” and he still feels that way. (Genesis 1:31) Far from planning to destroy it, he promises to “bring to ruin those ruining the earth”—and to protect it from permanent damage.—Revelation 11:18. You may wonder, though, about 2 Peter 3:7. That Bible verse says: “The heavens and the earth that are now are stored up for fire.” Does this not show that the earth will be burned up? Actually, the Bible sometimes uses the terms “heavens,” “earth,” and “fire” figuratively, as symbols. For example, when Genesis 11:1 says: “All the earth continued to be of one language,” it uses “earth” to mean human society.



The context of 2 Peter 3:7 shows that the heavens, earth, and fire mentioned there are also symbols. Verses 5 and 6 draw a parallel with the Flood of Noah’s day. On that occasion, an ancient world was destroyed, yet our planet did not disappear. Instead, the Flood wiped out a violent society, or “earth.” It also destroyed a kind of “heavens”—the people who ruled over that earthly society. (Genesis 6:11) In the same way, 2 Peter 3:7 foretells the permanent destruction of wicked society and its corrupt governments as if by fire.



What happens at the end of the world?

THE BIBLE’S ANSWER: “The world is passing away and so is its desire, but he that does the will of God remains forever.”—1 JOHN 2:17.



“The world” that is to pass away is, not the earth, but the world of mankind whose lives are not in harmony with God’s will. Just as a surgeon might remove a cancerous tumor to save a patient’s life, God will “cut off” the wicked so that good people can truly enjoy life on earth. (Psalm 37:9) In that sense, “the end of the world” is a good thing.



Such a positive view of “the end of the world” is implied by the Bible translations that render this expression “the conclusion of the system of things” or “the end of the age.” (Matthew 24:3; New International Version) Since both humankind and the earth survive the end, does it not seem reasonable that a new age, a new system of things, would follow? The Bible answers yes, for it speaks of “the coming system of things.”—Luke 18:30.





Jesus called that future period “the renewal of all things.” At that time, he will restore humanity to the conditions that God originally intended. (Matthew 19:28, NIV) We will then enjoy



A paradise earth with security and prosperity for all.—Isaiah 35:1; Micah 4:4.

Work that is meaningful and satisfying.—Isaiah 65:21-23.

The curing of all disease.—Isaiah 33:24.

The reversal of aging.—Job 33:25.

The resurrection of the dead.—John 5:28, 29.

If we do “the will of God,” what he asks of us, we need not fear the end of the world. Instead, we can look forward to it.



Is the end of the world really near?

THE BIBLE’S ANSWER: “When you see these things occurring, know that the kingdom of God is near.”—LUKE 21:31.



In the book The Last Days Are Here Again, Professor Richard Kyle writes that “sudden change and social chaos create an atmosphere conducive to predictions of the end of the world.” That is especially the case when the change and chaos seem hard to explain.



However, the Bible prophets who spoke about the end were not trying to explain baffling events of their day. Instead, they were inspired by God to describe conditions that would indicate an imminent end of the world. Consider some of those prophecies and decide for yourself whether they are being fulfilled in our time.



Wars, famines, earthquakes, and epidemics of deadly disease.—Matthew 24:7; Luke 21:11.

Significant increase in crime.—Matthew 24:12.

The ruining of the earth by mankind.—Revelation 11:18.

People who love themselves, money, and pleasures but do not love God.—2 Timothy 3:2, 4.

The breakdown of the family.—2 Timothy 3:2, 3.

General apathy toward the evidence of the approaching end.—Matthew 24:37-39.

The preaching of the good news of God’s Kingdom worldwide.—Matthew 24:14.

As Jesus said, seeing “all these things” lets us know that the end of the world is near. (Matthew 24:33) Jehovah’s Witnesses believe that the evidence is convincing, and they share their faith with others by preaching in 236 lands.





This was a GREAT question. Please do not worry, the evidence above is straight form the bible. To answer your question, YES the end is near, but there is a way to be on God's side instead of Satan's. Consider watching this short video:

Answer 2

Yes, our world is coming to an end.



In about five billion years, the Sun will reach its red giant stage and expand until it is larger than Earth's orbit. At that time, the Sun's photosphere (what we call the visible "surface") will be millions of times less dense than the Sun's present day photosphere, and today's photosphere is less dense than a laboratory vacuum on Earth.

A solid Earth would have no difficulty maintaining a stable orbit just inside the red giant Sun.



The problem will be heat. The Earth will become hot enough to melt and then turn to gas. It will vaporize slowly like an ice cube in a kitchen oven. The Earths vapor will be swept out of the solar system as will be much of the red giant Sun.



That will be the end of the world.

Answer 3

Yes,the world is coming to end,and we need to make sure that our inward,or spiritual lives are in harmony with God's will. Look at 2 Timothy 3:1-5,and 2 Peter 3:9-11.

Answer 4

Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.

There is no greater mystery than this; that being the reality we seek to gain reality.

Plato’s cave analogy.

Inprisoned inside the cave (Us), prisoners see the shadows on the wall and mistakenly view the shadows as reality. Every now and agian someone awakens to the truth and tries to tell others (Us), but the others respond with anger.

Greek word "cosmos" Meaning "In The World" functioning apart from God

And according to Early Christian gnosticism - "Seraphims" Keter - Crown Divine Plan ~ The Angel of Death. (Read John 7:7) Satan is the ruler of this "cosmos" (John 12:31; 16:11; 1 John 5:19)



Islam.

The Surah takes its title from the sentence, Wa anzalna' l-hadida, of verse 25.

Surah Al-Hadid (its title meaning, 'the iron') talks about the reality of the transient life of this world.

In which this universe like a snake on a rope imagined appears.

Bliss-Supreme Bliss: That: Consciousness you are happily live.



“God said, “To reveal the secrets of my abundant love, I created a mirror whose face is consciousness and whose back is the world.” JALALUDDIN RUMI



Planck got it right.. "I regard consciousness as fundamental. I regard matter as derivative from consciousness."



The universe is endlessly going through creation and dissolution. But that does not affect the Self. The Self is beyond time and causation. Creation and dissolution are in time. In reality nothing else exists. ASTAVAKRA SAMHITA – Chapter XV – P98

Answer 5

As we know it, yes. We are living in the Last Days now.

See: 2 Timothy 3:1

Answer 6

The Lawless One was revealed, we have been in acceleration to the end for some time now. It's hard to say how much longer we have. Decades, maybe hundreds of years to go

Answer 7

The world is not coming to an end, yet God is calling out to those who can hear, we are coming to a new beginning be weary not to take the mark of the Beast.

Answer 8

No, but there will be some drastic changes. See:



The world is in the End Times prior to the Last Days. It is becoming more and more as it was in the days of Noah with violence and constant anarchy.



Once I asked God how HE actually felt about things. In answer, now, every time I see movies or actual news where great numbers of people die I start crying and it feels like my chest has a great weight on it. He MUST administer justice, but it breaks HIS heart that it has become so necessary.



Look for this to happen.



4 FUTURE WARS (the catching away of true Christians happens just before this)

In the process of happening now…

Also look for Isaiah 17:1, 14 to happen any day now. (the destruction of Damascus)



1. There will soon be an Islamic war against Israel led by Russia and her armies. This army consists of Russia and the Islamic countries listed in Ezekiel 38:1-6. Ezekiel 39:1-12 describes that war where millions intend to attack Israel BUT GOD intervenes and kills all but 1/6th of them. Revelation 14:20 describes the place of battle as being filled with blood up to the horses' bridles for 184 miles. (Russian warships are stationed off the coast of Israel even now) This is the Gog/Magog war NOT Armageddon which happens at the END of the 7 years of Tribulation. The 7 vial judgments of Rev. 15 come AFTER this war. WATCH THE HEADLINES.



The 6th Trumpet releases the 4 fallen angels held in the River Euphrates and they lead a 200 million DEMON army (not men) from the Bottomless Pit that kills 1/3rd of mankind. See: Revelation 9:13-18



NOTE: God has said vengeance belongs to Him. Saints (Jew and Christian) and prophets killed through the centuries and recent years, take note. This is why HE turns the fountains of water and rivers to blood.

Rev 16:6 For men have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink. It is their due!"



3. Universal war… Armageddon where ALL nations are represented, led by the Antichrist go against Israel and Jesus as King of kings. All of this army is destroyed. See Zechariah 14:2-4 and Zechariah 14: 12-16 for details. AT THE END OF THIS WAR THE DEVIL IS PUT IN THE BOTTOMLESS PIT FOR 1000 YEARS. Zec 14:12 And this shall be the plague with which the LORD will smite all the peoples that wage war against Jerusalem: their flesh shall rot while they are still on their feet, their eyes shall rot in their sockets, and their tongues shall rot in their mouths. (sounds like a scene from Raiders of the Lost Ark)

Zec 14:13 And on that day a great panic from the LORD shall fall on them, so that each will lay hold on the hand of his fellow, and the hand of the one will be raised against the hand of the other;

See Daniel chapters 8 and 11 to find out where the Antichrist comes from.

4. The last war is at the end of the Millennial reign of Christ led by Satan who was loosed for a time to gather all rebels against the saints of God. They are destroyed by fire from Heaven and Satan is thrown into the Lake of Fire where the Antichrist and False Prophet are. This is when the Earth is then cleansed by fire while all earth inhabitants are at the Great White Throne Judgment, either those on trial or as witnesses. Those in their natural bodies who have survived the Tribulation will be in the audience.

At this time all the great oceans will be dried up. There will still be inland seas, lakes and rivers. We will then have the New Heavens and New Earth. The New Jerusalem will be on Earth and God will dwell with men. The New Jerusalem will be 1500 miles

high, long and wide with plenty of room for all the people of God
