How will the world end?

Please explain to me, in one paragraph, how the world will end according to Christianity.

Wrong forum for this topic. Also, the world will never end.

Yes, it would be nice to post this in GA but there are rules against the under 100 club from being in there. Can you get me a fake ID?

technically, yes, the world will end one day as the earth will either spiral into the sun (eventually), or more likely, the sun will go nova and, well, go boom!

But us humans will have probably destroyed ourselves by the time either scenario happens, so I wouldn't worry too much about that.

Define world.

When our sun supernovas.

To be a little cliche about it

Some say the world will end in fire;
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To know that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.


Personally, I actually go with ice. By that I mean, if we assume world to mean "universe" there have classically been two options. Either the force of gravity from all the mass in the universe overtakes the momentum of the Big Bang, and the universe snaps back in on itself in a really spectacular explosion. That would be pretty cool to see, wouldn't it? Either that, or the momentum will overtake the force of gravity, and the universe will end up spread out so far that it...ceases to be a universe. Ss there is no gravitational "communication" between the various bodies in it, everything just peters out eventually.

Some evidence suggests that the expansion of the universe is actually accelerating. Interesting for a lot of reasons. For the purpose of this discussion, it suggests "ice."

Not with a bang, but a whimper.

Shoot, you beat me to it!

Somebody had to say it.

 

[Battie]

Some theorize that it will involve Vogons and a pan-dimensional Guide.

The sun won't nova, its not big enough. It will just expand and engulf the earth

the world and the earth are not equivalent.

 

[LouTheWicked]

The sun will burn out in about 5 billion years, the chances are we'll all be gone by then though.

 

[CSmrw]

I don't know how, but I know it will be late.

Your world will probably end when your heart quits beating.

 

[KarateCowboy]

Not with a bang, but a whimper.

You beat me to it!

In that case, the world will end . . .

From Wikipedia:

"World is primarily referring to planet Earth, especially when capitalized the World."


If you meant something else, perhaps world as in "the age of man" then you should specify.
