It is no surprise to me that we all made it through all the Mayan Calendar disaster hype, yet it does surprise that we race of humans still seem morbidly drawn to yet another dawning of destruction in some form or another.

This is a list of predicted dates for apocalyptic events such as the Rapture, Last Judgment or any other event that would result in the end of humanity, civilization, the planet, or the entire universe. The list shows the dates of predictions from notable groups or individuals of when the world was, or is, forecast to end. (courtesy of Wikipedia)

Indulge yourself but do keep your sense of humor. Don’t forget your Zombie Blaster and pocket hand sanitizer.

Believing that the end of the world is nigh does have its attractions. You know where you stand. You can spend, spend, spend in the knowledge that Visa and Amex will be mangled under the thundering charge of the Four Horsemen. You can confidently quit that dead-end job before it literally becomes a dead end.- Richard Morrison

This alleged psychic claimed that Armageddon would take place in 2020 and Jesus  would return to defeat the unholy Trinity of the  Antichrist, Satan and the False prophet between 2020 and 2037. Dixon previously predicted the world would end on February 4, 1962.

2021: F. Kenton Beshore

Beshore bases his prediction on the prior suggestion that Jesus could return in 1988, i.e., within one Biblical generation (40 years) of the founding of Israel in 1948. Beshore argues that the prediction was correct, but that the definition of a Biblical generation was incorrect and was actually 70–80 years, placing the Second Coming of Jesus between 2018 and 2028 and the Rapture by 2021 at the latest.

The end of our Sun’s current phase of development, after which it will swell into a red giant, either swallowing the Earth or at least completely scorching it. It is widely accepted by the scientific community that the earth will be destroyed around this time. However, as the Sun grows gradually hotter (over millions of years), the Earth may become too hot for life in only a billion years' time.

22, 000,000,000: Brad Larson

The Big Rip theory predicts that the entire universe will eventually be progressively torn apart if the strength of dark energy increases with time. Small massless patches then collapse back into a single point renewing the Big Bang Cycle then causing it to explode out again renewing the universal cycle by  its continual expansion. One hypothetical example of the theory places the end in approximately 22 billion years time (if the equation of state w ~= -1.5, which is unlikely).

The heat death of the universe heat death is a suggested ultimate fate of the universe, in which the universe has diminished to a state of no thermodynamic free energy and therefore can no longer sustain motion or life.
