This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but a whimper.
T. S. Eliot The Hollow Men (Wikipedia)

Or as Frank Zappa quipped "It isn’t necessary to imagine the world ending in fire or ice — there are two other possibilities: one is paperwork, and the other is nostalgia." (Wikipedia)

There will be no End Times this year... or next. The Christians, Jews, Muslims (and Greeks etal) made it all up.

There will be no Tribulation, no Rapture, no Second Coming, no Day of Judgement, no Day of Resurrection. You will have to wait until the year 1,000,002,012 (ie: another billion years hence) before life on this planet ends.

The word "Apocalypse" is actually Greek for "lifting of the veil" or "revelation", a disclosure of something hidden from the majority of mankind in an era dominated by falsehood and misconception, ie: the veil to be lifted (keep reading at Wikipedia). 

In common parlance the Apocalypse is the beginning of the end through a series of magical happenings set in the future; scenarios invented by ignorant superstitious men and fed by those who follow, who hear voices or make them up. Assuming we don't have to suffer the longed for outcomes of these crazed worshipers, the real Apocalypse will be the ongoing scientific method and its ability to "slay the beautiful hypothesis with an ugly fact" (Thomas Henry Huxely Wikipedia). 

It's a process not an event. As Max Planck offered in his 'The Structure of Scientific Revolutions', "A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it." (Wikipedia)

"Don't worry about the world coming to an end today. It's already tomorrow in Australia." 

Charles Schultz, creator of the Peanuts comic strip.
