Well put, everything is in cycles. things are just speeding up and people are freaking out. Actually it's creation that is speeding up It is the end of time as people perceive it - the 8-5 m-f work BS and so forth. The world will be a different place by then. take a look at the global stock markets. things are changing. so to answer the OP question of when will the world end we need more specifics. Do you mean when will the earth end or life on earth? I'm sure the earth will be here for billions of more years. but life? who knows. if humans will get their heads out of their asses, quit fighting each other, rid themselves of the status quo and ego, and finally rid themselves of BS religions that keep everyone separated, then maybe we the world will not end soon.
No one knows for sure when the world will come to an end, but I believe it is sooner than later. All we can do is to be prepared!
Whether we die tomorrow or day after is not important.. What most important is whether you're ready to meet your creator.. Have we all make enough good to others.. Or we will leave it to the very last moment..
The world (by that I mean planet earth, coz its our world) will end...surely, but not soon enough. We have to wait for some billion years for that...
