  There are mentioned of Gods and Spiritual guards and there are heaps of them. Just like there are so many unknown species in the deep wide ocean.
  
  There are many level of unknown worlds and many galaxies and many heavens and many hells. God or Gods still get angry, agitated and are confined or bounded by a defined space of a world or realm. But the state of Enligtenment breaks all boundaries and everything is ONE. This includes breaking the boundaries of space(here and there), time(then and now), size(big and small). Breaks through all the polarities. Everything is one and acceptable, tolerable, reachable and attainable. This is total freedom and extreme peaceful and perfect harmony. It breaks away and reaches a supreme level which is always in a perfect state. (Perfect wisdom and Perfect bliss).
  
  Heaven is no where close because heaven is itself a physical space.
  
  cheers,
  
  

  Agreed.

  not really
  
  love and happiness is there when one is mindful of one's action
  
  it is the attachment when love turns to hatred ,and happiness turns into sadness that makes one mental suffer

  Please forgive me for deviating from Genesis (Beginning) and touch on the End. The last chapter 'Tribulation' in the Bible is offered as one of proof of the existence of God and authenity of His Identity.
  Is there such similiarity in the teaching of Buddhism.
  Am grateful for enlightenment on this subject.

  yes, a bit similar but we have it more detailed and more scientific:
  Aggañña Sutta (book of genesis)
  http://www.webcastmy.com.my/bodhivision/aganna/guide.htm
  
  and also which say how degeneration of people.
  Cakkavattisihananda Sutta

  In regards to 'The End Of The World', there is actually a topic in this forum.
  
  When will it be the End of the World?
  
  This is according to the Buddhist scriptural accounts.
