The concept of the end of the world is based on the Revelations. Unlike the other books of the Bible, this part is largely metaphorical, and its meaning could be interpreted in many ways depending on a theologian's denomination.
I am a non-traditional Christian and I think it would be a great mistake to take Revelations literally.
Having said that, I believe in the Second Coming, but I don't think that 1/3 of the world population will follow the Devil all the way to hell, and that half of population will vanish into thin air before arriving to unknown destination. To me these literal interpretations are the staff fairy tales are made of.
