No.

To put it in simple terms, orbits of the planets change slightly in angle and direction over the millennia. In August 2003, Mars reached its closest point to Earth since the days of Hezekiah in the Old Testament - a distance of 34,646,418 miles from Earth. Although this was its closest point in recorded history, the moon has not continued to move closer. An internet hoax claiming that Mars is getting closer has been circulating since 2003, along with stories that it will appear as large and bright as a full moon, and it seems as though these stories will continue to be perpetuated every year in August.

Will Mars come close to earth?

The distance between Mars and Earth does vary, as they both orbit around the sun; they are much closer when they are both on the same side of the sun, than they are when they are on opposite sides of the sun. However, Mars will never actually be close to Earth. It doesn't get closer than about 56 million kilometers (35 million miles) away.
