THE END OF THE WORLD
There are books around which claim that Jesus in the Gospels made
astonishingly detailed predictions about "the end times"
which are all being fulfilled in the present day, so the end of
the world is well and truly, as they say, nigh.
They could be right... but they're not. People have played this
game with Jesus's words for 2,000 years, and they've always been
proved wrong.
The traditional Christian understanding of what Jesus said is that
he would return to earth and this would signal the end of the world.
The dead would be raised, he would judge every person, and he would
recreate the earth. He said even he did not know when this would
take place.
For an alternative interpretation, see Did Jesus say he was coming
back?
