The Answerer

All such questions really go together. 'The end' really means the end of this civilisation, as we know it. The earth "will be burned up with fire" and there will be a new heaven and a new earth to replace it. And, with, no night, no tears or crying and no pain or death - forever!

I wonder a lot about this. How will He clean up the awful mess we have made of this lovely planet?

In Matthew 24:36 the disciples asked Jesus this question and He said: "No one knows that day...not the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father." (Jesus' Father, God)

Jesus also said (of His Second Coming to earth): "I will come at an hour you'll not expect me." (Matthew 24:44)

Note: God's promises always come true.
