Signs of a Dying World

---

What do you think is the fate of our World? What is lying at the end of the story? Have you ever thought there would be a final date for this world? How prepared are you for the Earth’s dying Day if it is there? What if it is there, and yet you live your life under the mantra that there is nothing like that? How will it be for you if it comes out there is the earth’s last day, the doomsday?

Thinking about the last day on earth is a thought that many have thought about. Movies, novels, and video games have been made in desperate attempts to explain the mysteries of the last days. Maybe, you were looking for the same when you stamped this article.

What do people say about Earth’s Last Day? I found some interesting opinions from an article, “When Will Be The Last Day On Earth? How to Survive, Myth & Science Behind It”, posted on the website “Earth Reminder for Everyone.” Many opinions are trying to respond to the question: “When Will Be The Last Day On Earth?”

1. Stephen Hawking Assumption

Stephen Hawking is a former Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at the University of Cambridge. One day, while lecturing at Oxford University, Stephen Hawking said he was expecting a disaster in the next few thousand years. His assertion could be summarised as follows: “Although there is less chance of a disaster to planet Earth in a given year, it will add up over time and will become a near certainty in the next 1000 or 10,000 years.” You can see his exclusive interview with BBC, ‘AI could spell the end of the human race.’

2. World Wildlife Fund

 According to a study by the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), one-third of the natural world has already been destroyed by humans in pursuit of such ends as colonisation or industrialisation. They further postulate that due to the consumption rates being unexpectedly high, the planet could be unsustainable, leading to the destruction of this planet and, ultimately, the “loss of the human race”.

3. The Sun Heat would Destroy the Earth

On the 20th of September 2013, Will Smith claimed that the sun would start having a lack of hydrogen fuel, then it would expand until it swallowed the first planet, Mercury, and the second planet, Venus. After taking these planets, the sun would invade the earth’s orbit. The heat that Earth would experience at that time would lead to the evaporation of Earth’s water, making it a deserted area. Without water, the human race would degrade and eventually die because of thirst and heat. This would lead to the desertification of Earth and the end of human life. 

4. Planet Nibiru Might Collide

According to this theory, Aliens are assumed to live on a planet called Nibiru. It is a mystery planet which created a human case. It is assumed that Niburu collided with a planet called Tiamat, which was situated between Mars and Jupiter and resulted in the creation of the asteroid belt and the planet Earth. It is predicted that it has been wandering around since then and caught by many sights. It is again assumed to hit the earth. Just like it created the earth, it is the only one which would end it.

Outside of these opinions, there are many stories and myths from different cultures and traditions. After analysing various stories and scholarly views about the last days, a few things emerge: 

• The world’s future is hopeless and uncertain. 
• The world is in the hands of man, and man can hurry or delay the doomsday
• There is no judgement or a Day of final reckoning
• We are on our own; God is not part of the story.

Listening to the opinion of the so-called learned class leaves one drained and afraid of the future. Foreboding and despondency can affect our peace in this turbulent and shaky world.

So what else is left for us? 

I don’t know about you, but as for me and my house, I will ask God what the future has in store for us.  The Bible presents a God who is always here with us. He is in charge and on the throne. The earth has lost its pristine beauty due to the fall of Adam and the succession of false and sin added to sin. The murder of Cain and the Deluge during Noah’s generation added to the demolition of the earth’s original beauty. Subsequently, until our day, we have felt the growing pains resulting from our own doing. We are hoisted by our own petard. Here are the bare facts: 

The Lord’s curse is upon the earth, upon man, upon beast, upon the fish in the sea, and as transgression becomes almost universal, the curse will be permitted to become as broad and as deep as the transgression.

1BC 1085.9

To a Bible believer, what the world thinks of as doomsday is actually a great emancipation from a sin-sick sin-soaked world. The wickedness of evil men and the silence of the presumed good men is making the World unsafe from time to time. So Christ’s second coming is good news. While the sin-loving hearts are afraid and trembling—and they have a good reason, because unrepentant is in trouble in the hands of just and a Holy God—those who have accepted the Lord Jesus Christ are yearningly looking forward to the Coming King. When the sinner and the infidel are worried about wealth and power created through unfair and fraudulent means, a true Christian is looking forward to a day of final reckoning and justice, and they will face the justice of God hidden behind the righteousness of Christ. I Pity the Infidel! 

For a Bible-believing human being, this is what the last day looks like: 

Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. [John 14:1-3]

And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.  Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen. [KJV Matthew 28:18-20]

For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the LORD of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch. But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall. And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the LORD of hosts [KJV Malachi 4:1-3]

“Satan, the root of every sin, and all evil workers, who are his branches, shall be utterly cut off. An end will be made of sin, with all the woe and ruin that have resulted from it. Says the psalmist, “Thou hast destroyed the wicked, thou hast put out their name forever and ever. O thou enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end.” Psalm 9:5, 6.
