The theme of the end of the world and the collapse of technological civilization has occupied the pages of books, magazines, and newspapers for many years, as well as cinema and television screens, and today the countless forums and websites of the Internet. Over the past centuries, astrologers, clairvoyants, scientists, and believers have predicted numerous dates for the destruction of humankind.

The destruction of a godless civilization is referred to in the Old Testament as the "Day of the Lord," and in the New Testament as the "Great Tribulation." The Bible reveals the tragic consequences of a future large-scale catastrophe characterized by a cascading mechanism of development. Prophecies concerning natural disasters and the end of the world are fragmentarily contained in many prophetic books, being united into a single whole by the futuristic work The Revelation of John.

In our previous articles, we examined biblical descriptions and scientific explanations of future natural disasters associated with the Earth’s passage through a meteoroid–asteroid stream surrounding a dwarf planet. Specifically, we considered the collision of large celestial bodies with the Earth in the region of the Arctic Ocean and the adjacent territories.

The term "the end of the world" in this article does not mean the destruction of planet Earth, but rather the end of the existence of modern technological civilization and a radical transformation of the world order. To the question, “Will there be an end of the world?” the most probable answer is "YES." For the continued existence of this evil, adulterous, and faithless generation has lost its purpose, having distorted its calling and departed from its path.

The consequences of a cosmic catastrophe – an impact event of global proportions that no country and no person on our planet will escape – were described in Articles 1–4. Therefore, it is necessary to take a number of measures in advance in order to save one's family, just as the Old Testament Noah did.
