Futurist belief in sequential order:
- A Time of Sorrows (an unspecified amount of time) will occur first.
(pre-tribbers believe the rapture will occur here)
- This will be followed by the Tribulation (unspecified amount of time, though some believe this to be 3.5-7 years).
- Then Jesus returns.
- A thousand years follow as Jesus reigns in this world.
- Then a new heaven and new earth is created (the world ends!).
So, when people claim that futurists said the "world will end" (on this day) after a certain event occurs this is just wrong or merely a strawman projected onto futurists to discredit them (possibly by atheists attempting to discredit Christians in general).
The end of the world won't occur for literally hundreds of years after these specific events occur.
