According to
Hindu scripture,
Kali Yuga (the
Age of Kali) began at the end of
Krishna's bodily lifespan near the end of the
15th century BC and will last exactly 432,000 years - placing its conclusion near the middle of the
431st millennium AD.
Kalki, the 10th and final
avatar of
Vishnu, is expected to appear at this time, riding a white horse and wielding a flaming sword with which to strike down the wicked.
Kali Yuga is the last of 4 Yugas; upon it's conclusion, the world will "reboot" into a new Satya Yuga[?] (Golden Age.) This involves the end of the world as we know it and the return of the earth to a state of paradise.
