Both of your insights add so much to the question.."Is this the end of the world"(이것이 세상의 끝인가?).. What about adding to that same query,.. " and what is our Father in heaven saying to us now" ?(하나님 아버지께서는 지금 우리에게 무엇을 말씀하십니까?)
It seems that a clarification of terms might be in order. For example: what do you mean by "this"? Are we talking about the pandemic? The political situation in the US? Either of those situations are really not all that drastic if you think historically. The 1918 pandemic was way worse in the second year particularly, there are lots of other examples with regard to the medical issue. Politics? well, its pretty bad right now but it has been worse, say in Germany in the 30's and 40's. Lots of examples here too.
The next term that needs clarification is "end". Im guessing the closest to the end the world has come to is Noah and the flood. But was it really the end? It depends how you define "world". The flood certainly ended most all the people that existed (except for the 8 on the ark). But the world is still here.
So are we asking if the world is getting ready to explode or burn up and completely vanish out of existence? Well, maybe. Our star that we orbit around could do some things that are unexpected. A big flare with a giant electromagnetic pulse would destroy all electronics on the earth (all except MAYBE military hardened electronics). No more twitter or facebook.........what a shame.
I guess we are pretty much in a wait and see mode. Like the first comment above. We all have different ideas on what the word "end" means. We are all going to die and that is pretty much the end, at least for us in the physical realm. What happens after that?
I don’t know, but there are things going on in the world today that look much like what is written of in prophetic books of the Bible, and in Matthew 24, which encourages the reader in verse 42 to “be on the alert, for you do not know which day your Lord is coming“. I’m interested in reading multiple views on this question! Thanks for posting 👍🏻
