Today, many people believe that the end of the world is here. There are many natural disasters occurring this year. way more than usual. People are now superstitious, thinking these natural disasters are a warning sign that the ending of the world is upon everyone. There has been reporting’s on crazy hurricanes this year, especially two big ones that people may never forget. There’s been many hurricanes this year, the worst ones everyone's talking about is hurricane Harvey and hurricane Irma. There have also been big earthquakes and wildfires. Now, some may say the world is only ending in America. But this has proven not be the case. America is not the only country that has been experiencing natural disasters. Mexico has just recently had an earthquake that killed over 200 people! North Korea had a 6.1 magnitude earthquake. Hurricane Maria- a new hurricane- hit Puerto Rico and many small Caribbean Islands. There’s bad flooding in South Asia. A horrible drought in Africa. A tsunami threat out in Central America. So, what does the end of the world mean? The end of the world means “The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything in it will be laid bare.” (“End of the world”).

When the definition says “The heavens will disappear with a roar,” we’re seeing that happen right now with the hurricanes. The hurricanes are literally knocking out everything in its pathway. When the definition talks about, “the elements will be destroyed by fire,” once again it’s happening right now. There have been wildfires reported in California, Canada, Portugal, oregano, and many other places around the world. The world ending, means that destruction will happen days leading up to the end of the world. Most people may say this because of what one was taught; for example, religion or just what one thinks. Some people think Jesus is coming. Others believe their god is coming, whichever god that may be. Some may believe it’s global warming, and all these natural disasters are happening
