You're probably picturing an old man with a long gray beard standing on a street corner holding a sign that says, "The World is Ending!"
Or, maybe you're excited because you think Jesus is coming on a white horse to take all the good people to heaven...the ever-popular "rapture" of the church.
Sorry, both scenarios are incorrect.
First, it's not the end of the world. The Bible is very clear...there has to be a thousand years of peace before the end.
Second, God didn't remove the righteous in the flood, he removed the unrighteous. The righteous remained to begin again.
Here's a shocker. The kingdom isn't coming, it's already here; but until you're born again, you cannot see or enter it...as Jesus said,
"The kingdom of God is within you."
(Luke 17:21)
The word "kingdom," (basileia) means "Rule"...the "kingdom" is already ruling in the hearts of God's children. What's coming is destruction never seen or will be seen again as God removes the wicked, evil and unrepentant from the earth...just as it was in the days of Noah.
The "kingdom," (God's rule) will be in every heart that remains...and every knee will bow and tongue proclaim that Jesus is Lord.
You see, it's not the end of the world, it's the beginning of a new world; but, as Jesus said, "Ye must be born again."
The world is not coming to an end; but unless you repent and are reborn Spiritually, it's the end of your world.
Until you're reborn Spiritually...nothing else matters.
