I'm sure it will end eventually but I have no particular time frame because I'm no prophet!
IF someone believes the Bible literally...then there are signs. Probably the two greatest would be that there would be earthquakes, famines, calamities, war, rumors of war, storms, etc that would come closer and closer together as the birth pains of a woman.
God said a day is as 1000 years. There were 7 days, a week, given to Satan when man sinned. (Sin just meaning you are doing something that takes you out of fellowship with God usually due to your own guilt.) Back to the 7 days/ 7000 years. Jesus won back the Sabbath...1000 years that He will rule and reign on earth. That would put us at a 6000 marker. That marker has many variations due to calendar changes thru the years.
The biggest variation is the 7 years of tribulation. Some Christians think God will take them out before the tribulation, some believe it's half way, others think they will be here until Jesus' return. The teachings on this is in Revelations and the book of Joel (my personal favorite).
Question always will be - when do you know you are in the tribulation? Well, again the Bible explains what to look for in that too.
I don't worry about it either way. I worry more that I won't be in my heart where I want to be when I die....whenever that may occur.
People go off on tangents and now they've got a half baked DiVinci Code...but for me....I'm gonna go with my God on this one and believe what He has to say.
