Maybe or for sure the world will end soon, "because I am miserable" has been used by all religions at one time or another. Remember all the preachers or false profits that gave a time and a date for the end...? If a god wants to destroy his creations every so often I think I would be ready for a new god who has better clarity of thought..

I'd say not the end of the "world", the end of the "Age".

Aion the god of the cyclic ages, and the zodiac. The "time" which Aion represents is perpetual, unbounded, ritual, and cyclic: The future is a returning version of the past, later called aevum. (Latin meaning "age", "aeon", or "everlasting time").

"Aion (Aevum, Saeculum) is time in an absolute sense, in opposition to Chronos, that is, time in relation to something, and especially to human life."

"Aion" by Doro Levi in Hesperia: The Journal of the American School of Classical Studies at Athens.


We have a few years to prepare...
