End of Days by Sylvia Browne

Brahma the Creator, who perpetually creates new realities;
Vishnu, or Krishna, the Preserver, the protector of the creations; when eternal order is threatened, Vishnu travels to Earth to restore it;
Shiva the Destroyer.

Hindus believe that everything becomes nothing, which becomes everything again, in cycle after cycle. In other words, Brahma creates the universe, Vishnu takes over as its caretaker, and then Shiva destroys it so that Brahma can begin the cycle again. A cycle is very, very long—current Hindu wisdom suggests that the universe has approximately 427,000 years left before this cycle ends and a new one begins. These cycles are thought of as ages, and there are four ages in orthodox Hinduism, ranging from an age of absolute purity to an age of absolute corruption. This fourth, corrupt age is the Kali Age, or Iron Age, characterized by the spiritual decline of civilization, violence, plagues, and a tragic desecration of nature. The Kali Age immediately precedes complete destruction, which then evolves into the purity of the Golden Age, when the cycle begins again. According to Hinduism, when evil and chaos in the world reach their peak of intolerable obscenity, an avatar—incarnation of the Supreme Being—appears on Earth and restores righteousness and purity to humankind.

The Hindu Puranas, which are a written interlacing of mythology and history, contain a list of prophecies involving this cyclical concept that is as close as Hinduism comes to other religions’ concept of the end of times:

Apocalypse for the Hindu is the natural ending of the world in the fourth age, the Kali Age, the age of Darkness and Discord.
It is one of a series of apocalypses, each of which marks the end of one cycle and the beginning of another creation. The central figure in these transitions is Vishnu, the Preserver God, into whom the world is absorbed before being born again.

Vishnu has already saved humanity on a number of occasions, symbolically appearing as a savior in many different forms. It is said that He will appear again soon, as Kalki, a white horse, destined to destroy the present world and to elevate humanity to a higher plane.
All kings occupying the earth in the Kali Age will be wanting in tranquility, strong in anger, taking pleasure at all times in lying and dishonesty, inflicting death on women, children, and cows, prone to take the paltry possessions of others, with character that is mostly vile, rising to power and soon falling.
They will be short-lived, of little virtue, and People will follow the customs of others and be adulterated with them; peculiar, undisciplined barbarians will be vigorously supported by rulers. Because they go on living with perversion, they will be ruined.
Dharma [eternal order, righteousness] becomes very weak in the Kali Age. People commit sin in mind, speech, and actions.
Quarrels, plague, fatal diseases, famines, drought, and calamities Testimonies and proofs have no certainty. There is no criterion left when the Kali Age settles down.
People become poorer in vigor and
They are wicked, full of anger, sinful, false, and avaricious.
Bad ambitions, bad education, bad dealings, and bad earnings excite fear.
The whole batch becomes greedy and untruthful.
