The End of the World As We Know It: An Infographic

How the World Will End

Of all the many requests we’ve had for infographics, none has been as consistent as the request for a visual presentation of the different views of the end times. And for good reason–it is a complicated and much-debated subject. Eager to please, we got to work on a graphic we’ve called “The End of the World As We Know It.” It presents the three most prominent views of the end times (and, indeed, of our current time). We hope you enjoy it and find it helpful.

You are free to download this graphic, send it to others, or print it on your own in smaller formats. If you’d like to print it poster-sized, see below.

  • He Shatters the Jar

    We come into leadership thinking the kingdom advances through strong people using their amazing gifts to bear epic fruit. But God says, “Not really. When I want to shape a soul to lead, I bid him come and die. When I want my gospel to ring forth, I shatter the jar.”
