Actually, the world won’t end, but rather be “made new” again, which we see at the end of Revelation. That’s when Jesus hands the Kingdom over to God and “all things are made new” at that time (at the time of the Great White Throne Judgement).
And the time frame for that is — at least — 1,000 years (for the time period of the Kingdom of God on this earth, during which time the Messiah of Israel rules), and then the prior time of the Tribulation, which is a 7 year period of time.
So, right there, that’s another 1,007 years prior to the time “all things are made new” — at least. And then, it’s “up in the air” as to when the Tribulation time starts (which kicks it all off, the 1,007 years of time). That could start anywhere from now (this evening, the next day) to the next few years to a decade or so.
I don’t think it will be longer than a decade, because of the pressures and the capabilities of the Islamic nations in progressing towards their goal of the destruction of Israel. At some near point in the future, they will actually have the capability to destroy Israel. When that happens (when they reach that point), that will be the point in time which will kick off a whole series of events, talked about in the Bible, which starts off the Tribulaton period, those terrible 7 years of judgement (from God, upon this earth, and upon the present nations of the world, as we see them now).
It’s not really that far away, that these things will happen, because we see all the Islamic nations and countries moving very methodically and purposefully towards that destruction of Israel which is their primary goal in life.

I was explaining to Mrs Bear about how Jesus returns from the sky on horseback with a sword. I was describing how the saints will be with him on horseback and she blurted our “You mean I am going to get a horse!”
I may be mistaken, but I don’t think Newton believed in the millennial after the return of Christ. An Amillennialist like most in his day.
