The world is going to end one day, that’s for sure. In a few million years it will be consumed by our sun, which is going to expand and engulf the innermost planets of the solar system. And a big asteroid may crash into it, thus snuffing out all but the most basic and hardy life-forms…

But what does your religion have to say about how it’s going to end?
As a Christian, this is my understanding:
- Jesus Christ returns to Earth from Heaven
- Jesus Christ raptures the elect, who go up to heaven
- A period of great tribulation occurs on Earth
- Jesus Christ returns to Earth from Heaven (again)
- Jesus Christ rules over Earth for a whole millennium
- Everyone alive on Earth and who were dead before the rapture occurred are judged and given an appropriate after-life
- Planet Earth is discontinued
