How come everyone thinks the world will end?

Question

When you read the bible you will find stuff that says it already did.

i.e. Matthew 23:36 Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation.

and then I found something that said the world won't end.

i.e. Ecclesiastes 1:4 One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh: but the earth abideth for ever.

Has anyone else read these?

What do you think?

I always thought useing the end was something just to keep people on the right track. You know, to scare them.

that way they would follow the rules.

Answer 1

I only follow the teachings of Jesus.

Answer 2

Beacause people dont open there eyes nor there minds to what is happening now, Times are always hard for people and society, this age is just another phase in American history.

Answer 3

if the end comes, it comes. but wha tmakes you think the world will keep going forever?

Answer 4

It has to end, everything that has a beginning must also have an end.  I don't think the world is going to end soon, but it will end.  I think the almighty father is just seeing how far his creation will go.  After we meet our own demise i think he will come upon us and judge us.
