Absent further context, only #3 appears possible with the word order you have chosen. Please give us some further context and/or the surrounding sentences.

I could not find any context. I was searching on the internet when I found that with by the end of... future perfect tense is used but I also saw that simple future tense is also used. So I made up my own examples.
