was coming for thousands of years, down through the line. That's not to say that the world WON'T end in some form or fashion (for example, war), but people have always thought it would happen in their lifetime. You are right when you say some christians get criticized about the end of the age. I can't speak for others, but for me personally, nothing pisses me off more than so called christians who claim to be so holy, who actually promote the crap going on in the middle east. People are dying and all they can think about is being raptured and armageddon and the suffering in hell of the "heathens". Christ would be so proud (sarcasm).
Yes, some people here have a problem with literal interpretations of scripture, including myself, though I do believe in God. What one person considers literal may not be to someone else. It's subjective. Hence the many denominations around. If you want to know about Islam's end time beliefs, I'm sure you'll find it online.
As to end of the world, whether God does it, the anti-christ, nukes, global warming, or asteroids, yeah, I think one way or another it will end. Nobody can say when. Could be tomorrow or 500 years from now. People are always going to look for the signs in their age as they always have.
