God is eternal, in that he has always been and will always be and currently is. He created time: "In the Beginning [of time]..." and then the "heavens and the earth." The earth being the known universe and the heavens being the unseen world where God inhabits, or rather, where it inhabits God, as God is larger than the heavens. He created it out of nothing, or rather, out of Himself, by his Word alone. He said it, it happened. This is not far-fetched at all, if one has a correct view of God. You could say he was wholly wise and wholly powerful, but that could not begin to describe it Him, because he is infinte and eternal, everything said about Him is less than what He truly is. So, as you can see, speaking something, and everything, into existence is a small thing. This is easy for the Christian to believe because for the Christian, at conversion, the Ressurection of Christ becomes fact, and the Spirit of God bears witness to that fact within them constantly, according to The Bible and also to two thousand years of Christian experience. It is like a light bulb on in my room, I know if it's on, there is power coming from somewhere. This is logically sound in the sense that if something had always come from something than the universe would be eternal. But, according to most scientists, and Christians, this is untrue, the universe is not eternal. So, if it is not eternal it would have had to come from nothing, that is, in the way of matter. Matter must come from other matter or from nothing. We explain that matter was "made out of nothing by God, by the power of his Word." Once again, not at all difficult to accept if you accept the Christian picture of God as "Almighty."

1In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. 2And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters... And the evening and the morning were the first day. 6And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. 7And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so. 8And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day. 9And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so. 10And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.

6By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth. 7He gathereth the waters of the sea together as an heap: he layeth up the depth in storehouses... 9For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast.

Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.

Does the Bible say anything about the world ending in 2012?

AnswerNo. Mark's Gospel talks about the world ending during the lives of those living in the times of the apostles, apparently in the mid-70s of the first century, and the other gospels are a little more vague on the same subject. But if the world did not end then (and it did not) then the Bible does not prophecy the world wll end in the present century.
