When will the world end?
Here's the answer:
No one knows when the world will end except God. The world will end after evil is defeated and God creates a new heaven and earth.
Jesus was very clear that no one knows when the world will end. He said, "But no one knows about that day or hour. Not even the angels in heaven know. The Son does not know. Only the Father knows" (Matthew 24:36). We don’t need to guess or worry about the exact date. God has everything arranged for just the perfect time.
The Bible teaches that the world will end after God defeats Satan in a final battle at the end of time (Revelation 20:9). Satan will be thrown into a lake of burning sulfur (v. 10). God’s people will live with Him in a new heaven and new earth (Revelation 21-22).
Just like when we watch a soccer or baseball game, we don’t have to know everything about what happens to know who wins. We can look at the final score to see. In the same way, the Bible has already told us the final score in advance. God will win, defeat Satan, and everyone who believes in Jesus will be with Him forever.
