According to the ideas presented by Hawking, if you were able to travel back in time, you would never reach the beginning. Simlarly, in either the 'big rip' or 'big crunch' scenarios, you will never reach the end (going forward), either.
Therefore, the universe always has been and always will be, despite not being infinite. Boundless, yes. Infinite? No.
