I certainly mean no disrespect. And I believe your first sentence is 100 correct. And I do and have forgiven everyone who has made an argument against me. Yes the doctrine preached by some people is wrong. I show scriptures to WHY I believe what I do. I do not force anything upon anyone. I let the scriptures to the talking and I don't have to change the meaning of words to mean 2,000 years.
Will the world come to an end?

I know what you mean.
God is more powerful than we can understand，What seems impossible to us is feasible to God.
The more interesting thing is,In my opinion, Antichrist people, if they really see God, may become more devout believers than us.
Because I once had the same idea as them. Why doesn't God care about the world and why doesn't God appear?Until one day, I saw him coming in the clouds,But I made the same mistake as the Jews.
And God can forgive me and the Jews.
I'm talking about my real thoughts and experiences.
So I would say, can I forgive the Antichrist?
You should understand this. Arguing with antichrists can't make them believe in Jesus. Forgiving them will show the uniqueness of Christians.
What makes us less secular and special?The word of God.
What I want to say is that I find that many Christians do not have a little tolerance for Antichrist, even Satan, which is incorrect.This will cause us to forget the importance of forgiving others。
Remember Job,Job did not even abuse Satan or accuse him.Job only looked to God, for God's grace is beyond our measure.
If you are confused about the status quo, looks to God's word again and again.
The hope God gives us is good.
There is no need to entangle in the mood of the end of the world. Maybe the end of the world will only be the beginning of a new world by the hands of God.

The Day of the Lord
(Zephaniah 1:7-18; 1 Thessalonians 5:1-11)
2nd Peter 3
10But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
11Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, 12Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? 13Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
(Zephaniah 1:7-18; 1 Thessalonians 5:1-11)

Those that use 2 Peter 3:8 for a future event are pulling it out of its true meaning. The context of this statement is that the scoffers were reminding Peter that Jesus had promised to return in judgment in their generation, but now, about 30 years later it had not yet happened. So, Peter scolds the scoffers and advised them that "The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise" as they were "waiting for the hastening day of the Lord" (2 Peter 3:12). So, Peter, writing in the early 60's AD was issuing a strong warning about the soon coming destruction in AD 66-70 when Jerusalem was leveled, and the temple destroyed.

I'm not sure what you mean, but you can forgive others, can't you? All you need to do is remind others of what they don't notice, so that others can see and hear God's word.
Let them see and hear is the point we want to express.Blaming others directly may become an argument.
Hope you get what I mean.

YES, the Apostles Peter & John & Paul warns everyone, from his day and forward unto the coming of the Lord.
But they deliberately overlook the fact that long ago by God’s word the heavens existed and the earth was formed out of water and by water, through which the world of that time perished in the flood. And by that same word, the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire, being kept for the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.
Children, it is the last hour; and just as you have heard that the antichrist is coming, so now many antichrists have appeared. This is how we know it is the last hour.
The coming of the lawless one will be accompanied by the working of Satan, with every kind of power, sign, and false wonder, and with every wicked deception directed against those who are perishing, because they refused the love of the truth that would have saved them. For this reason God will send them a powerful delusion so that they believe the lie, in order that judgment may come upon all who have disbelieved the truth and delighted in wickedness.

In relationship to our own Salvation, the process is like being put into a fire that removes the impurities. The Earth is full of the Sins created by Satan and continued by humanity. Thus the Earth will be purified by Fire to remove the impurities.
