Every Christian needs to beware of false prophets. In the centuries since Christ promised he would return, people have claimed they know when not only He will return, but when the world will end. Simply put, by saying these things, these people directly contradict the Bible, which says that no man will know when end comes. Christ's Second Coming will be like a thief in the night, when we least expect it. The only person who knows when the end will come is the Father Himself. Anything else only amounts to speculation and rumor.
It is not our duty to worry about when the end will come. It is, however, our duty to remain vigilant and prepare for Christ's return as if it were tomorrow. It may happen within our lifetimes. It may not. We simply do not know, and will never know until it actually happens. Worrying about the End Times is the least productive thing any person can do. All it can serve to do is create worry and doubt.
That's my two cents anyways. I still worry from time to time, but prayer and simple common sense can help a lot. We are not meant to know when the end will be and it is in God's control, so the best we can do is simply live our lives on Earth as He intended and remain vigilant of faith.
And I apologize for those here who may not be Christian themselves, but this is my personal take on all this end-of-the-world nonsense.
