Some people believe that life for believers will simply transition into an everlasting period of conscious rest. Non-believers will simply cease to exist forever.
Some people believe that there will never be an end, but a new beginning will be ushered in by the appearance of a special being who will restore order and peace, thus renewing the cycle of existence. They believe this has already happened an infinite number of times and will continue to do so.
Some people believe that the world will be physically destroyed, but not before the believers are removed and placed in the presence of god for eternity. Non-believers will be left to be destroyed with the earth spending eternity in the presence of the enemy of god undergoing eternal torture.
Some people believe that their god will resurrect the living and dead believers into a realm of eternal rest and pleasure, while sending all unbelievers to a place of eternal punishment.
Some people believe that the earth and/or humankind will eventually perish forever into oblivion. There will be no eternal existence of the good or evil. All shall cease to exist.
Some people believe that god will come live on earth for 1,000 years. During this time believers will work with their god to convert all people. At the end of the mellenium, god will separate all people, believers and non, into three eternal camps, none of which involve torture of any sort.
Some people believe that their beliefs will eventually fade away into oblivion and their teaching and practices will be forgotten. Even their most revered leader will be forgotten. After their belief is completely vanished and a new leader will appear reminding everyone of these forgotten principles and restore a new beginning of awakening.
Some people believe we are in the middle of a spiritual battle in which the end will produce eternal peace. At that time the wicked and righteous will be judged by their deeds. Those found wicked will be tortured for 3 days and then forgiven to live in peace forever with the righteous.
