First: It is not the end of the world in the sense of total distruction or annihilation of our planet, but the end of the present world system. And....

Second: Bible prophecy indicates that after the fulfillment of the prophecies about the "end", there will be the beginning of a new and better world. ^*1

One very important point is that when you study Bible prophecy, never think you've got it all figured out. As someone illustrated, Bible prophecy can be compared to observing a distant mountain range. From a distance the range looks like one long mountain, but as you get closer you can distinguish between the different ranges. You can tell which mountains are in front, which are in back and so on." With Bible scripture sometimes the events appear to be a mixed up. That's the way the prophets (who were also human) saw them. Many of them didn't understand their own prophecies. And so, like with that mountain range, as we get closer to the fulfillment of a specific prophecy, the picture gets clearer. The prophet Daniel did not understand the visions he was getting from the archangel Michael (Daniel 12:8) and, like any of us would, he wanted to know what he was seeing. But when he asked the angel what it all meant, Michael replied, "...the words are closed up and sealed until the time of the end."--(Daniel 12:9) Daniel died never knowing what it meant.
