Specific predictions are very difficult. I think the most likely finisher of the human race is over-specialization combined with some sort of cataclysmic event that shatters society. Most of the world is so dependent on technology and specialized services like supermarkets and power grids that if the system were to abruptly fall apart, billions could die.(Atheists: any predictions on how you expect the world to end? Heat exhaustion? meteor?)
Adding my two cents...It may seem scary to you .. have you considered though that a disunited divisive planet at war is also scary? Economic chaos... I grew up during WWII and the cold war.. now that was really scary my friend!
these changes will be slow in coming..consider that we are only now have an international court of arbitration through the UN..
I'm curious about other faith's End of the World scenarios.
[D]o you believe everyone will eventually be Bahai?
It seems like you believe in creating a "heaven on earth"...?

What is supposed to happen, and what are the signs? Is your Armageddon story literal? Do you think it will happen soon and why?

I see several religions say the signs include war, famine, pestilence, natural disasters, etc...but that stuff happens all the time, and has been since before time.
And transitions of any type, big or small, are known for difficulties. As they say, you can't make an omelette w/o breaking some eggs...me, I'm looking forward to the omelette.
Hm. This sounds scary to me. One world currency? A world parliament? There is massive potential for abuse there.

The earth will be consumed by the sun in about 5 billion years. Whether or not mankind will succeed beyond this, by finding another planet is unknown -- however, 5 billion years from now, homo sapiens will likely be completely extinct, replaced by a number of distant descendants... This is assuming we don't blow ourselves up or make our current planet too inhabitable too quickly.
Either way, there's no evidence of it happening in my lifetime. All I can do is encourage others to keep mankind steered int he right direction for our collective survival.
