Yes on the 1st. of April.

I just answered this question for someone else. Here is what I believe.

People have been making predictions for centuries about the end of the world, none of which have ever come true. The fact of the matter is that planet Earth will always be here. The Bible teaches that: “Generations come and generations go, while the earth endures forever.” (Ecclesiastes 1:4) God originally put humans here to enjoy life on earth even though the earth is filled with many problems today. The natural disasters, political upheavals, wars, and economic collapses are all signs that we are living in what the Bible calls the last days. What will follow the last days? Instead of destroying the earth, Revelation 11:18 shows that God is going “to bring to ruin those ruining the earth.” The upright and the blameless will be left in the earth, but the wicked and treacherous will be cut off from it. (Proverbs 2:21, 22) Following the destruction of only the bad people on the earth, conditions will return to paradise as in the beginning in the Garden of Eden. (Revelation 21:3-5)

Jesus said that no one would be able to predict when God would destroy the wicked, but he advised us to be alert to the signs he gave that the end is near. (Mark 13:32; Mark 13:4-8, 33; 2 Timothy 3:1-5) All of these signs are in clear evidence right now. One of the signs often overlooked is that worldwide the good news of God’s Kingdom will being preached and then the end will come. (Matthew 24:14) Our positive response to this message about God’s Kingdom helps us to prepare for the end by learning God’s requirements and obeying his commandments.
