Hi Caspar,
I believe that the reference to the end of the world in Matthew 24:3 is referring to the end of Satan's rule over this world until the Second Coming of Jesus who then casts Satan into the bottomless pit.
The Pure Word Bible reads ;
Matthew 24:3
"When shall these things be, and what is the sign of your coming, and the end of Satan's world ?"
2 Corinthians 4:4
"In whom THE GOD OF THIS WORLD has blinded the minds of them which believe not...."
Blessings to you, brother
