How did the world end before?

Answer 1

Definitely not.

Answer:

There are different takes on this in the Genesis account. Verse 2 of Genesis chapter 1 would indicate that something cataclysmic happened to the earth sometime after God created it to cause it to become a formless lifeless mass (other scriptures, indicating possibly the results of a "war in heaven" - Rev.12:7-9).

Then, starting with verse 3 of Genesis 1, Jesus Christ, the Eternal Creator God of the Old Testament (John 1:3 & 10)... who said: "...I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven..." (Luke 10:18), RE-created the earth in preparation for man.

The only other explanation for Genesis 1:2, is that when God created the heavens and the earth in the beginning... He did a messy job of it... and had to come back later and REDO it! And that would indicate a less-than-perfect God... and therefore, no God at all.

Answer 2

The world never ended before or not in a complete apocalypse scenario. There have need massive extinctions before like the dinosaurs and the end of the last ice age which I assume you must be talking about. The dinosaurs where whippet out of extents by a large meteor impact, witch coursed a change reaction of practically every volcano on earth to start erupting. This realest an unprecedented amount of P. to get in to the atmosphere. This blocked the head of the sun coursing a mini ice age to exist. The dinosaurs being cold blooded died of the freezing temperature apart from some exceptions like birds and crocodiles.

The massive extinction on the end of the ice age was a slow working extinction due to climate change.

Apart from these two there has been much massive extinction in the history of our planed.
