Well, I dont know from which source you copied that, but according to scripture the world isn't really going to end. It says there would only be a time of God's judgement upon the earth (the 7 years tribulation) Before Christ returns to earth and reigns for a 1000 years on earth together with his people.
So therefore, the rapture is only linked to the 7 years tribulation, rather then the end of the world.[/quote]
Again
[quote]After The Rapture, God will begin executing judgments against unbelievers, during a period called the Tribulation. At the end of the Tribulation all nations will
attack Israel, and Jesus Christ will physically return, leading the armies of heaven. At the Battle of
Armeggedon they will
destroy everyone who is not a believer. Then Satan will be bound, and Jesus will set up the Millennial Kingdom, headquartered in Jerusalem. Jesus and the saints will rule over the nations of the Earth for a thousand years. During this period there will be people born who are not loyal to Christ. However, it usually will not be obvious. Therefore, at the end of the thousand-year period, God will release Satan and let him tempt those who inhabit the Earth. A large group will take up arms against the Lord and be defeated. Then, Christ will judge all who have ever lived, giving rewards to some and punishment to others. Those who were "destroyed" will be cast into the Lake of Fire, i.e., Hell. After that,
God will destroy heaven and Earth because they have been polluted by sin. He will create a new heaven and a new Earth, put those who were saved on the new Earth, and rule it forever. [/quote]

Clearly speaks of end times.

Yes, but the rapture is just one of the many events during the 7 years tribulation. There lays 1000 years between the rapture and the comming of this ''new earth''. Also, it more looks like the author of that site wrote his own personal beliefs. So even though the rapture may be linked to the endtimes and 7 years tribulation, it is not linked to the renewal of earth when the old earth passes away, as it is written in the book of revelation.
