The earliest mention in The Bible of the world coming to an end is in Mark's Gospel, written approximately 70 CE, where it says that some of those alive in the time of Jesus would experience the end of times. Having given the destruction of the Jerusalem Temple as a sign of his imminent return, Mark 13:24-26 continues, "But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light and the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken and then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory." He concluded by saying that he would return within the lifetimes of some of his own generation: "Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things be done."
By the 80s of the first century, the time when the next gospel, Matthew's Gospel, was written, the return predicted in Mark's Gospel was becoming unlikely - the generation had already passed - and the author of Matthew had to change the emphasis away from an impending end of the world. While copying as faithfully as possible from Mark, he changed the position of the sentence about "this generation", relative to the destruction of the great buildings, so that it referred to something else altogether. He added, and emphasised, material where Jesus told the disciples that the end is not yet, and that no man knows when the end of the world will occur.

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.
