- The end of the world is a thought that frightens
many people and has been predicted for hundreds of years,
and none more so than by religion.
Ancient texts and prophesies have definitively stated
how life on earth as we know it will end.
And although there are varying accounts
of how exactly it will happen
they all point to the same terrifying conclusion.
Here are 10 ways religions predict the world will end.
Number 10 are the seven suns.
Unlike other apocalypse scenarios the end of days,
according to buddhism,
actually has a roughly established time.
It's believed that the world will be destroyed
around the year 4600 long after our lifetimes,
but still sooner than anyone wants.
Prior to the apocalypse humanity will hit a moral
low point and will literally be hunting one another
with swords in hand.
Life expectancy will hit an all time low as well,
with few people apparently surviving past 10 years old.
That's when the Maitreya will arrive
bringing enlightenment to almost the moralless world.
Unfortunately soon after that six more suns
will appear in the sky.
One at a time with each additional star causing
more and more destruction until the entire planet
is nothing more than a fireball, and everything is dead.
Number nine are the dead return.
In Judaism, like many other religions, it's believed
that a person's soul is immortal, and when we die
our souls join God in the other world,
while our mortal bodies rot.
But when the end of days comes God restores our bodies
and essentially stuffs our souls back into them.
Before that happens a Jewish leader and king
will redeem Israel and become the messiah
while every other nation on the planet suddenly
recognizes that the God of Israel is the only one true God.
It is said that it is then that the entire earth
is destroyed in a cataclysmic way leaving none alive.
Thus everyone is resurrected
and judged based on their faith.
Finally, seeing that the old world was flawed
God creates a new world and a new heaven,
both of which are a paradise.
Unfortunately to get there it will cause everyone to die
and be resurrected as the undead.
Number eight is the endless solar eclipse.
Many people predict the end of the world will end
with an asteroid impact or a virus that will
take out all of human kind.
But what if it's the ancient Aztecs who are
actually right and the apocalypse will start with
the sun going out?
The Aztecs lived in what is modern day Mexico
between the 14th and 16th centuries.
However their astronomers were well ahead of their time
predicting when eclipses would occur
with incredible accuracy.
They were so obsessed with solar events
that they developed a belief that it would be an endless
soar eclipse that brought the end of times
through the freezing of the earth and eternal darkness.
In an attempt to keep the sun shining the Aztecs
captured neighboring tribes and sacrificed a number
of human lives believing it was the only way to survive.
But that has since ended which means that the Aztecs
could one day be proven correct.
Number seven is a global fire.
Like many religions, Zoroastrianism teaches
that there will be a final battle between good and evil
before doomsday arrives.
According to their beliefs the world was created
perfectly good but was corrupted by evil.
As the final days approach good will triumph over evil
restoring the original status of earth to its onset.
That's when the dead will rise from their graves
restored with the bodies that they had in life
and a time of judgment will commence with every human being
having their thoughts and deeds looked at
to determine if they will suffer or not.
Then all of the metals within the hills and mountains
will melt into a massive wave of molten lava.
Those who are deemed good will feel nothing.
However the vast majority that have lived in sin
will melt in agony as the river of horror flows down
from hell.
Number six is Ragnarok.
In Norse mythology the apocalypse doesn't just bring with it
the end of the human race, but the end of all Gods
and Goddesses as well.
Ragnarok will see the Gods known as the Iseer
battle the giants for the final time
both sides killing one another as the fight
devastates Midgard.
As they wage war on Midgard also known as earth,
giant Tsunamis will destroy coastal lands,
poison will rain from the sky and the sun and moon
will be consumed.
Everyone on the planet will die during Ragnarok
with the exception of two people.
A man and a woman, who will then have the daunting task
of repopulating the earth while the few remaining Gods
will go about building a new home for themselves
while they watch over the new world.
Number five is moral decline and chaos.
A prophesy that is detailed in Hadith
which is said to be the sayings and traditions associated
with the prophet Muhammad, tells of the day of reckoning
when annihilation and resurrection will both affect
the world's population.
In the days leading up to it there will be a substantial
increase in violence, anarchy,
betrayal and sexual immorality.
Along with a number of devastating natural disasters.
Dajjal, the Islamic version of the anti-Christ
will do battle with Jesus, the messenger of God
and Jesus will win.
Eventually a sweet scented breeze will flow across the land
mercifully taking the lives of all believers
while leaving the sinners and non-believers alive to suffer.
All of the world's dead will rise and a colossal fire
will start in Yemen bringing everyone to one location
where they will be judged by God.
Number four is the blue star crashes.
According to the Hopi Indians, a native American tribe
we are living in the final days of the fourth world.
Spiritual elders within the tribe have been making
uncanny predictions that have come true
over the last 80 years
including major influences that have effected the earth
such as climate change and the atomic bomb.
They claim that we're about to enter the fifth world
which means the end of life as we know it.
Right before the day of purification a blue star
will fall from the sky and will mark the ninth
and final sign that our end is near.
The end will either come in the form of ice or fire
as the other three worlds have allegedly
met their demise with one or the other.
Thought it's widely believed among the Hopi
that the earth will be destroyed by a comet
striking the planet.
Number three is the rapture.
While some parts of the bible tell of love and faith
other parts seem like they're straight out of
a horror movie.
In the new testament's book of revelation
the end of days is described in chilling detail
with devastation sweeping the earth as the four horsemen
of the apocalypse arrive.
An earthquake rocks the entire planet
as lightning arcs across the sky right before a hailstorm
of fire descends from the skies destroying a third
of the world's trees and grass.
All hell essentially breaks loose
with rivers becoming poisoned, darkness covering the land
and human faced locusts killing those
without the seal of God.
But perhaps the most horrifying thing is that all fresh
water will turn to blood and the sun will scorch the earth.
Number two is Jesus comes to Missouri.
Those within the church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
believe that the earth will witness the second coming
of Christ at some point in the future.
Just before he arrives there will be a large
increase in the number of natural disasters
that the world endures,
including hurricanes, earthquakes and floods.
Additionally the amount of manmade disasters
will also increase exponentially
with terrorist attacks, genocide and even full scale wars.
As chaos takes over the planet, Jesus will arrive
and bring order and peace to the earth as he rules the globe
from Zion, also known as New Jerusalem.
The Mormons believe that this will be located
in Jackson County, Missouri.
He will separate the righteous from the wicked
and then the world will be cleansed with fire.
And number one are the cyclical eras.
According to the Hindu faith our universe
is far from the first, and certainly won't be the last
one that exists.
In fact there are three Gods who are responsible
for an endless cycle of creation, preservation,
and finally destruction.
First, Brahma, the grandfather, creates the universe
from which humanity comes into being.
After its completion the God Vishnu steps in
to ensure the universe is preserved until Shiva
destroys it, simply so Brahma can start the process
over again.
But before Shiva's elimination of the universe,
it's believed that humans will become greedy and evil.
Hurting, stealing and killing.
That is until a being called Lord Kalika arrives
armed with a massive sword and riding a white horse.
Kalika will punish the worst offenders
and then everyone will die.
And that's it.
