Quite a number of Christians expect the world to end real soon. All Christians expect the world to end at some point. This point is sooner than that at which science expects all life on earth to cease.

The reason given by Christianity for why the world should end is somewhat obscure. The official reason is that God wants to judge everybody at once and after judgment everybody will be consigned to either heaven or hell. This is said to be for the greater good, since man may then be admitted into paradise.

This reason fails to take into account the fact that man may then also be admitted to hell. Majority of man in fact will likely be ushered into the blazing furnace of God. If you take this into account, you will see that judgment day is not actually for the greater good.

You may feel that the end of the world is justified because the world does not meet God's standards, so he has to discontinue it. The question is; why now? Why not earlier? Of what use was the bad world? And why discontinue it if that does not address the problem of evil?

Yes. Even when the world ends, evil will remain. It will only be transferred from earth to hell. Most of it anyway, since there is always the start up capital in heaven. And since there will be a far greater number of people in hell, people who will never be free from pain again, there will remain a surplus of suffering in God's utopia. What then was the point of ending the world?

Ending the world seems not to serve a greater good and also seems pointless.

One then has to wonder what the appeal of ending the world is, especially when you remember that every person will die at some point and this, for all intents and purposes, is the end of that person's world. Every man is therefore guaranteed the end of his world. Why bother yourself about ending the world for everybody?

So, exactly what is ending the world supposed to achieve?

Here is the truth that would Fork up your mind,this world would never end,the minute planet earth stops rotating human would be thrown out in to space like you know how people gets thrown out from a speeding car when it clutch its brake abruptly during accident,live and die is the rule to live by nature but people are scared to die and 90% of people believes in life after death(religion)

I don't understand this.

What did creating it in the first place serve?or why was it created, why did it come into existence? Since you already know what the Bible says in regards to end time but its not enough then *shrugs* just take it as it is or join the train of @rational thinkers and seekers .So many questions

'...why are we born in the first place if this is how we gat to go, damn...' Nas-Sabali (patience)

Funny. Every time their prediction fails they will say its a miscalculation. Somehow it has not occurred to them that there is no end time.

Some people don't want to just die and be gone. They want the whole world to die together with them.

They will say this world is just a bus stop and that's why it'll be destroyed. As if people cannot use a bus stop forever.

Religion sha.

I thought I know what the bible says, but look at where I am now. Judgment day looks meaningless from here. At times you think the bible is saying one thing, and then you realize its saying the opposite. One has to be sure of what he is taking on faith.

Yeah okay.

Jesus has been coming soon for over 1900 years. How soon is soon?

Even if the world doesn't end soon, our generation will die and face judgement. Very few will be saved to heaven while many will go to hell. It is better the world end in our generation. Sin has become rampant, the fear of GOD is in the hearts of very few.

Prepare for JESUS coming

BodyKiss: Jesus has been coming soon for over 1900 years. How soon is soon?

Everybody expects him to come in their lifetime. That's why you keep hearing 'soon'.

A far away date, say 3815, would allow much more people to make it to heaven but apparently there is a shortage of accommodation or funds in heaven. So admission needs to end soon.

I heard the initial budget was even for 144, 000 people.

What is now the point of an 'end time'?

The only time the world will end is when you die....The world ends for you.

this world is far from coming to an end, so sad how Christians don't see this. one question I ask them is, if this judgement day you are living for is slated for April 1st what would become of your wasted time on earth?

Simple. it has a beginning.

End time means end of evil. It means the devil will no longer continue it's perpetratous act. Evil will stop to spread. The wicked ones will be rewarded their wickedness, the good ones will be rewarded their righteousness. The earth will be renewed, the saints will come to inherit the new heaven and new earth. There will be new Jerusalem. The presence of GOD will continually be with mankind. There would be no more sorry or cry or pain etc. So much joy and happiness amongst the saints. The promises of GOD will come to pass. His word will be fulfilled. Then the world will be exactly as the LORD God Almighty made it in the first place and want it to be. There is more to it Finofaya. There is more to it than our expections and all we imagine. Just strive to be there. Strive to be among the saints of GOD. GOD bless you

MightySparrow: Simple. it has a beginning.

Lol.

By your logic, because things begin they must end. So anything you can think of that has a beginning is bound to end. Now, is Lucifer bound to end? Is your soul bound to end? Are angels bound to end? The light that God created, is it bound to end?

Maybe you were just joking.

God bless you too bro.

See, the devil's "perpetratous act" is leading people to hell, abi? If he leads people to hell and he succeeds in keeping them there, can you say that he has discontinued his perpetratous act? I would say he hasn't, and in that case then evil would not be ended.

You don't get it. When the world ends, he won't have a chance to perpetrate his evil acts again. he won't have the chance to lead more souls to hell. he will be cast to lake of fire with other soul he successfully deceived and his agents. So evil will seize to exist when the world comes to an end

Why not first do the needful and save these question of yours till righ man that can answer your question come. We are not the one that said the world would come to an end, the scripure did and we believe it. Why can't you save yourself from possible danger you have worn of first since it has remedy? Why assuming it may not possible?Why looking for explanation before duing the right thing when tomorrow can be too late?
The parable of the talent is a good lesson for us. Matth 25v14-30
A man went on journey and before he goes he calls all his servants and gave them talents to trade one he gave 5 talents, he gave another two and to another one according to their power. The servant that got five and the one got two talents trade with their talents and got double and they were reward according to what they got but the one with one talent went and hide his talent for he thaught his master was a terrible man for this, he gets no reward but push out into darkness.

For those of you that says world would not come to an end. Some of you said you had been hearing the world would end since memorial years still the world remain the same . I want you to know that God is not man and he does not think like man. God know how it all started, where it is now, when and how it would ended. Read the Book of Daniel and the Book of Revelation. those book where seal, it is not easy to interpret. It left for you to choose with side yo want to belong .At the end we would all see who is the one between God and Satan ,No nuetral person you would either be for or against. What we are saying now is to check yourself. Do you realy want to be the side you are. The Bible told us that Satan and that false Prophet would be cast into lake of fire with their followers.


Look around you ,many things that are happening around are the evidence that comfired the scripture that the world would certainlly come to an end why it has not happened is because it's atrocities has not rech it peak. Remember what God told Abraham. If you have forgotten i will reminde you. God for told Abraham what would happened, "that his decendant would be held captive in Egypt for eighty years and at the end of their eighty years, he would bring them back to Cannan to pocess it for the sins of cannanite has not reach it's peak"
He also told Abraham that "he came down to see if true the wickedness of Sodom and Gomarah has reach it peak acconding to his loud voicae that came to him"

What happened to Cannanite , Sodom and Gomorah had been happend today. Bokoaram are killing people, America had legalised gay marriage, ritualist are kidnaping people on daily basis and many more. It is signs only for it to reach it peak.

The bad world would come to an end, the good people would transferd to another world better by far called paradise while the bad people would suffer for corrupted the first world

These things are unreasonable, then?

The Prophet (SAW) was a paedo, no doubt. You can take that to the bank (or to your thread).

@ayomivic, the issue is about whether ending the world will solve the problem it is meant to solve. There will still be evil after the world's proposed end, so why should the world end?
