What is the end of the world that Jesus spoke about in the bible. Do we believe in it?

What are the “end times” that Jesus spoke about, does that have anything to do with us today?

thanks you.

(please not to complicated, i am not very educated and i cannot follow complicated explanations)

thank you.
 
We should take note when people start pointing out to Christs return, as having been, also, the grumblings he spoke of with natural disasters, as a mother in birth pains. We are in current stage of change in a very dramatic way, modern Rome is falling, and the original Rome fell, yet the world did not end. It will be worse before it actually comes to be, and the signs will be an all out attack against Christianity. The thing is, we are already facing an all out assult from the secular world, the natural and the man made are pointing towards something in line with what was predicted, so naturally there are many that point to these times as the end of the world, Catholic and Protestant alike.

Yet, look to Isreal, and how they would turn away from God for generations, the world didn’t end, they were rebuked and corrected, later to be restored, and we are in one of those same cycles at this time, moving at a much faster pace then the days of old. There were famines and plagues and all sorts of natural disasters in those processes as well, sent down from God himself, and I feel our current weather and economic collapse is a result of the same. The question is, are we repenting as a whole? Not really, some of us are just outraged, but the majority still continue on with their horrible values and worldly nature like nothing happened. It will end if all options for correction are exausted and we refuse to repent as a whole, this is the very reason we, nor the angels do not know the exact date to the end of the world, entirely because it’s tied into mans free will and free will cannot be predicted.
 
The second coming of Christ where all will be judged. And yes, we believe in it.

Are you trolling or are you serious
 
In Matthew 24:3; the disciples asked this question. The whole chapter deals with beginnings of sorrows, through the tribulation, to the second coming when the son of man comes back to establish the kingdom of heave rule on earth. The Ancient of Days (God the father will come with him; Daniel 7:13and vs.22. He will be known as king of kings and lord of lords at that time.
This will not be an end of the world physically but the end of Gentile rule headed by the Antichrist. (Revelation 19:19-21. Satan will be bound for 1000 years during this period so he won’t be able to decieve the nations. (Revelation 20:1-3). The Messianic rule will be a theocratic rule. After the 1000 years are up satan is loosed to deceive the nations once more amd is defeated in battle for god destroys them. Revelation 20:7-9). Even after this and the Great white throne judgement will not be the physical end of the earth. When the Old Heaven and earth pass away and the New heaven and Earth. Come will not be the physical end of the world because god promised back in the old testament the earth was eternal and have seasons always. Even 104:5 says; who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed forever. That is for the annihilation theorists. So there will be no physical end of the earth even though, there will be a renovaton of the earth by fire which does not annilate but, changes by cleansing.
So the of the world Jesus is talking about is the end of the antichrist rule and the beginning of the messianic rule. God bless! Jerry Kelso

There are numerous places where the Bible that speaks of the end of the world, and it should mean a lot to us because it could happen anytime. The reason why we should take it serious is because since it could happen anytime we should live our lives like it is the last day, that is, to be holy, sober, telling others about Jesus and the Catholic Faith, etc. But regardless if the end is today or 5000 years from now, we should consider that it could be the end of the world that we know, meaning that we could die at anytime.

But the Bible speaks of the end of the world but does not give a date and insists that we are not to try to place dates. That is so we will be motivated to prepare ourselves everyday, not to mention that when people place dates and then the end does not come, then people end up not trusting those so-called prophecy preachers and it hurts the faith of those who have little or no faith, prophecy then appears to be a joke or a hoax to sell books and to get a moment of fame.

The end of the world is exactly what you would think. At the end of time, Christ will come again, but this time in Glory. The heavens and earth will pass away There will be a new Heavens and a new Earth in which Christ will rule and there will be no more suffering and death. The new Heavens and new Earth with Christ ruling will last forever. That is what the “end times” are. And, yes we believe it, this is doctrine of The Catholic Church.

Christ tells us, no one knows when it will happen but that in the blink of an eye all will be changed and the dead will rise. There won’t be any missing it.

When Jesus spoke about “the end of the world” He did not mean the physical end or complete destruction of the earth. The original Greek translated “world” is aeon, meaning “an age.”

Jesus was talking about the end of the age of man – that time period from Adam to His second coming, when man is left to do what he pleases under the influence of Satan. The end of that age will bring in a new age where Satan will be removed and where God will force the peoples of this earth to obey Him and keep His commandments.

Notice Jesus’ parable of the tares in Matthew 13. He explained the parable this way: “The field is the world [Greek *kosmos, meaning the physical world] (v.38).” But then He said, “… the harvest is the end of the world” (v. 39). Now, the original Greek translated “world” here is aeon, not kosmos, as in the previous verse. Clearly Jesus was not referring to the physical end of the earth but to the end of a certain time period in human history.

You can check the other verses with the phrase “end of the world” and you will find that the original Greek used is aeon. There’s one in Matthew 24:3 where the disciples asked Jesus, “…what shall be the sign of thy coming and the end of the world [Greek, *aeon]?” Another is in Matthew 28:20 when Jesus commissioned His disciples to teach all nations, “… Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world [Greek, *aeon].”

But when what was meant is the physical world, the Greek used is kosmos. Here are some examples:

Matthew 24:14 – “And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world [Greek, *kosmos]….”

Matthew 24:21 – “For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world [Greek, *kosmos]….”

Luke 4:5 – “And the devil, taking him up into a high mountain, showed unto him all the kingdoms of the world [Greek, *kosmos]….”

When Jesus spoke of a “world to come” where there will be eternal life (Mark 10:30), that coming “world” will not be a new kosmos, but a new aeon – a new age in man’s history – as shown in the original Greek that is rendered “world” in English.
