TEOTWAWKI ! There is a certain type of person who needs to believe that the world is coming to an end, SOON. They always pick a date a little way off, and get other people all worked up and scared about it, and it NEVER happens. A thousand years ago, there was mass hysteria about Jesus returning at the Millennium, in AD1000. It didn't happen. There were dozens of apocalyptic cults between then and the year 2000, and the world didn't end for any of them, either. When Y2K came around, it was the rerun of the Millennium cults, AND the end of all computer time, and that ALSO didn't happen.

About 5 years ago, some doomsayers seized on the "end of the Mayan calendar" in 2012. (In 1952, Robert Heinlein set one of his TEOTWAWKI (The End Of The World As We Know It) stories in 2012, also.) Now people are getting all spun up about THIS disaster-wannabe. It won't happen this time, either.

No, Jack Daniel's whiskey does not have an expiration date. It is an aged spirit, so it doesn't spoil or expire like other food and beverages. The whiskey's flavor profile may change over time, but it can be stored indefinitely as long as it is kept in a cool, dark place and sealed properly.

Because this Question is under multiple categories and points of view there is no single Answer.

Global Warming:-

The world's weather patterns and local climatic zones are now unstable and unpredictable, and the land and seas are becoming even more polluted and less able to sustain life. Regardless of the cause of Global warming, if this continues the world will end but it is not known when.

New Testament :-

Because they are intermixed together, see the next answer for Bible Prophecy.

Bible Prophecy:-

Some people speak of the "end of the world" as "TEOTWAWKI" or (The End Of The World As We Know It). Which means, the world will go on... but in a radically different manner from which we are accustomed.

According to Bible prophecy... a radical change in the way the world operates will begin when Jesus returns as the King of all the kings of the earth, and the Lord of all the lords, and sets up His Kingdom's rule over the earth.

That means "man's rule on earth will come to an end." To the leaders of the governments and nations of the world at that time... it will seem like the end of the world to them.

Not to mention that, prophecy reveals that if Jesus doesn't return exactly when He does [when the events of the coming Great Tribulation would cause all life on earth to cease]... the world would literally be brought to a physical end for everyone, and not just a "change of leadership."

Yet, prophecy further reveals that a "New Earth" is coming at the conclusion of God's plan. That will require a "transition" to it from this old tattered one upon which we now rely to sustain us.

It appears at the beginning of Revelation 21: "And I saw a NEW HEAVEN and a NEW EARTH: for the first heaven and the first earth [this one we're living on, now]WERE PASSED AWAY; and there was no more sea."(Rev.21:1)

The book of Revelation is primarily written "chronologically," in the order of future global events, with a number of summary inset chapters inserted to bring the reader up to speed on certain historical and prophetic recaps of some of the end-time players: Like, the summary of Satan's past and future activities [Rev.12]; the False Prophet or false religion and where it's headed [Rev.17]; the Beast, some people say 'Antichrist,' or the Godless world-governing attempts of Satan-guided men down through history and its ultimate conclusion [Rev.18]; and the prophesied Two Witnesses of God, who are revealed to be killed three-and-a-half days before Jesus returns at the seventh and "last trump" [Rev.11].

Revelation 20, which preceeds 21 and the New Earth, ends, chronologically, with the prophesied "Judgment Day" after Christ's thousand-year rule on earth... in which all the people of the generations of mankind shall undergo a trial and a receive a verdict as to whether or not they will receive the "salvation of the Lord" and be changed into the "immortal Children of God"... or be cast into the Lake of Fire [Gehenna Valley, on the outskirts of Jerusalem] "burning with brimstone" (Rev.19:20)

At the conclusion of Judgment Day [however long that 'Day' might take]... the last mortal human, having either been changed into spirit and made immortal, or burned to ashes - ["...behold, the Day cometh, that shall burn as an oven... and the Day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the Lord of Hosts... for THEY SHALL BE ASHES UNDER THE SOLES OF YOUR FEET in the Day that I shall do this..." - Malachi 4:1-3] - this entire old world shall become totally consumed in a "world- purifying" fire that shall turn the earth into a virtual "jewel" in the midst of the universe.

"...the elements shall melt with fervent heat..." (II Peter 3:10). And at that time... this world is "REALLY GONNA END!"

All the earth's water will evaporate... and all the precious metals of the earth will be purified to perfection [including all the fine gold reputedly abundantly laced throughout the oceans]. And all the sand around the world will be turned into GLASS.

And Jesus Christ and all of His new-born Family will RE-MAKE the earth and prepare it to receive their Father, who will descend out of heaven in the Holy City, New Jerusalem, to dwell with His Children forever [see Rev.21 again].

So, for a period of time, this world is really gonna end, as we know it now. And the time when it will happen is at the conclusion of "JUDGMENT DAY"... when all mortal men will either have become changed by God: immortal and impervious to the physical effects of fire... or ashes under the soles of their immortal feet.

But that end will only mark a new beginning and a New Earth: "...for the former things are passed away. And He that sat upon the throne said, BEHOLD, I MAKE ALL THINGS NEW. And He said unto me, WRITE: for these Words are TRUE and FAITHFUL." (Rev.21:4-5)

"...He that overcometh shall inherit all things [the universe]; and I will be his God, and He shall be My Son."(verse 7)

The coming end of the world... and it's subsequent re-make... will result in the removal of all the evil that now pervades it. The New Earth will be purified and perfected, that it might be thoroughly cleansed and prepared to receive the Father, Himself - who cannot abide evil of any kind.

The coming "end of the world" will be a brief step in God's overall plan:

"...WORLD WITHOUT END... God Himself that formed the earth and made it... He created it not in vain,HE FORMED IT TO BE INHABITED..." (Isa.45:17-18).

"TEOTWAWKI" is coming. But, we'll have eternity to learn to know and love the New and Improved Earth as the perfected immortal Sons of God.
