God choose to create the world and to take the world when it is time to end it. He created us anyway out of his magnificent love. “I have love you with an everlasting love” (Jeremiah 31:3). That is crazy because he had love you before he had even created you. Jesus Christ is supposed to come save them from this world that is full of sin and evil and take them to the afterlife known as “heaven”. When does the world end for Christianity? Christians believe in the word of the bible sayings. It states in the bible that “know the day or the hour” (Matthew 25). They do not try to ask Jesus when is he coming or either ask him to give clues or signs of his coming to earth. In the bible from (Matthew 24) it is told that he tell his people and disciples that they will be certain events that will happen on earth when he comes back. Some of these signs that will happen will be earthquakes, false prophets, wars breaking out from everywhere, drought of food and water. The most important one will be the hardening of hearts. The heart is the key piece that Jesus Christ looks at and what is in the inside of it. It means how have you live your lifestyle on earth, where you a sinner or liar, did you did …show more content…

History has come around with numerous prophecies about Apocalypse which contradicts each other, but recent years a new day has been set for the end of the world, December 21, 2012. The irony is that the date associated with the end of the world is constructed on the premise that history is cyclical and not linear. Predicting the Day of Judgment is a cultural phenomenon that speculates cataclysmic and apocalyptic events that will occur. This idea has been disseminated in countless books, websites, and documentaries. The forecast that the world will end in 2012 is based on the fact that the Mayan culture long-term calendar, which ends in 5125 and corresponds with our calendar’s date of December 21, 2012, warns of disasters that will end the world (Geoff, 38). Some believers of the apocalypse say that Maya astronomers have predicted the alignment of the earth, the sun, and the Milky Way center solstice on December 21, 2012. According to the prediction, the alignment is related to the procession of the equinoxes and is a sign of transition between two different eras of the universe. One interpretation of this transition, which refers to a new era, believes that during this period the earth and is inhabitants will experience a physical transformation. The year 2012 marks the beginning of this era. Other theories suggest that 2012 marks the end of the world or a similar catastrophe. Scenarios for the end of the world currently include a collision of the earth with a wandering planet, or a black hole, or the occurrence of the next solar maximum. Indeed, several synopses have been devised for December 21, 2012, but the most alarming is the coming of apocalypse.

The Christians think that no person is correct in saying that Jesus is not God’s but do not go to extraordinarily extreme lengths to prove them wrong or persecute them, but they also believe that every one is entitled to their own opinion.

What is going to happen to us when we will die? Some people never considered what it could happen to them after life. For many people, death is a redoubtable event because they do not know what to expect after their death. However, other persons, such as religious people are conscious of what to expect after their death because of their beliefs. Each religion has different ideas and different ways of looking life. Death, therefore, is viewed by different religions in many ways. Although, different religions have a distinct conception of death, they all have something in common: they all give hope to people. Among all different religions in the world, four of the most common ones - Catholic, Jewish, Islamic, and Hindu- view death in different ways.
