Isaiah 13:6-13
Wail, for the day of the Lord is at hand! It will come as destruction from the Almighty. 7 Therefore all hands will be limp, Every man's heart will melt, 8 And they will be afraid. Pangs and sorrows will take hold of them; They will be in pain as a woman in childbirth; They will be amazed at one another; Their faces will be like flames. 10 For the stars of heaven and their constellations Will not give their light; The sun will be darkened in its going forth, And the moon will not cause its light to shine. 11 “I will punish the world for its evil, And the wicked for their iniquity; I will halt the arrogance of the proud, And will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible. 13 Therefore I will shake the heavens, And the earth will move out of her place, In the wrath of the Lord of hosts And in the day of His fierce anger.

The end of this world will not be like a movie, but instead will find people overcome with fear and hopelessness at the judgment on all who have excused and refused God and His Son offered in their places. The very universe will come crashing down on them, and real darkness will envelop all. God in holiness will then judge the world after giving everyone so many chances to trust and follow Him. The heavens and earth will be shaken for the last time before all is made new, without the darkness of rebellious evil. No more pain, tears, or death - this is what Jesus died for.
