Is the world coming to an end?

I live in Fiji and there have been massive flooding since the beginning of 2009 (just google "Fiji Flood 2009"). I am a teacher and today all schools are closed just because of this unstable weather. People are so scared as death toll may rise even more. How to do you feel about this situation?

    Living on an island, you should be used to the ocean's power. Here in LA we deal with earthquakes.

    The earth is a living organism. With the way we abuse it, I would not be surprised if it decides to shake us off like a bad case of fleas.

    Believing in the end time is not new and it has had the same results each time. Insanity: "doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

    Albert Einstein

    P.1571 - §7 "In the great day of the kingdom judgment, many will say to me, `Did we not prophesy in your name and by your name do many wonderful works?' But I will be compelled to say to them, `I never knew you; depart from me you who are false teachers.' But every one who hears this charge and sincerely executes his commission to represent me before men even as I have represented my Father to you, shall find an abundant entrance into my service and into the kingdom of the heavenly Father."

    About 2000 years ago a group of Christians got together to follow the teachings of Jesus and living a communal life of sharing with the intent of being prepared for that day when Jesus would return and begin a new world. Generation sense have developed a similar practice with teaching along with the end times. The Mayans had there own way of dealing with the spiritual Realities and we all know what happened to them. To believe any thing they did seems to me a loosing cause. I prefer to believe the Teachings of Jesus and not the teaching about Jesus.

    Most of the so-called Messianic prophecies of the Old Testament were made to apply to Jesus long after his life had been lived on earth. For centuries the Hebrew prophets had proclaimed the coming of a deliverer, and these promises had been construed by successive generations as referring to a new Jewish ruler who would sit upon the throne of David and, by the reputed miraculous methods

    Depends, if it floods and you see an old dude float past in a big wooden boat loaded with animals, then I'd start to be worried.

    the world will end in about 3-4 billion years. Since it has been around for 4.5 billion, I suppose u could say it's "coming to an end"
