They asked about "the end [singular] of the AGE [singular]" (based on what He'd already said)... and He'd also already said "the age [singular] to come" is what follows that.
The word in the Greek text (in both Matt24:3 and in Matt13:[24],30,39,40,49-50) is not "world"... but "age".

[to go along with that ^ ]
[quoting]
"The apostle furnishes us, in 1 Cor. 10:32, with a classification of mankind, which renders material aid in presenting a condensed view of those future dealings of God which form the subject of prophecy, "Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the Church of God." Mankind are divided thus into three classes. As it respects man's condition before God in reference to eternity, there are but two classes, the saved and the unsaved — the regenerate and those who have not been born again. But with regard to God's government of the world, which is the subject to which prophecy applies itself, there are three classes - Jews, Gentiles, and the Church of God."

The KJV words it like this:
Matthew 13:39-40

40As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.
Mattgew 13:49
49So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just,

This Hebrews 9:26 is worded distinctly from the others I had mentioned / shown...
This ^ verse says "in the end [SINGULAR] of the ages [PLURAL]"...
... whereas the ones in Matt24:3 / Matt13 say, "the end [SINGULAR] of the age [SINGULAR]"
...whereas the other ones I mentioned are:
"the age [SINGULAR] to come" (the earthly MK age); and
--"the ages [PLURAL] of the ages [PLURAL]" (eternity / forever / endlessness / eternal state, etc);
--there's also "the ends [PLURAL] of the ages [PLURAL]" in 1Cor10:11
Learn these *distinctions*... because they do not all *mean* the same thing. No.

Correct! 
(if you mean what I *think* you mean... I'm reading your words potentially two different ways! LOL... Only ONE would be CORRECT! )
[that is, IF you mean that "the end [singular] of the age [singular]" IS DISTINCT FROM "this/the PRESENT age [singular]" (the one WE are standing in and speaking out from!)]

Yes the KJV translators knew exactly what the context was, the Second Coming (End Of The World)
Just one example of how the new translations distort Gods truth
I was just reading Early Churxh Father (Justyn Martyr 100-165AD) in his dialogue with Trypho the Jew, and he was commenting on how the Jews in Alexandria Egypt removed many aspects of scripture in the Greek Septuigiant, and couple that with Adulterers Kurt and Barbara Aland, and dont forget homosexual union supporter (CarloMaria Martini) creating the Greek Text (Novum Testamentum Graece) that supports the NIV, ESV, NASB, RSV, Etc

As he clearly stated, from the person who claims God is going to bring back animal sacrifice for sin, in the false teaching of a future temple in Jerusalem is seen in Ezekiel 43
The temple seen is the 2nd Zerubbabel Temple built in 536BC and Ezekiel showed the House of Israel (In The Captivity) the pattern to build, he wrote in their sight the words to be followed in this temple
How could any person claim animal blood sacrifice would be resumed after the cross of Calvary, instructed by God, hard to believe, as you willfully deny the very clear words in scripture below
Zerubbabel 2nd Temple 536BC (Fulfilled)
(Let Them Measure The Pattern)
(Write In Their Sight)
Ezekiel 43:10-11 & 19-20KJB
10 Thou son of man, shew the house to the house of Israel, that they may be ashamed of their iniquities: and let them measure the pattern.
11 And if they be ashamed of all that they have done, shew them the form of the house, and the fashion thereof, and the goings out thereof, and the comings in thereof, and all the forms thereof, and all the ordinances thereof, and all the forms thereof, and all the laws thereof: and write it in their sight, that they may keep the whole form thereof, and all the ordinances thereof, and do them.
19 And thou shalt give to the priests the Levites that be of the seed of Zadok, which approach unto me, to minister unto me, saith the Lord God, a young bullock for a sin offering.
20 And thou shalt take of the blood thereof, and put it on the four horns of it, and on the four corners of the settle, and upon the border round about: thus shalt thou cleanse and purge it.

...for example, some careless students of the text read this passage ^ as being EQUATED with the Matt24:3 and Matt13:30,39,40,49-50 "the end [SINGULAR] of the age [SINGULAR]"
...and consequently have claimed that THIS text (1Cor10:11, in quote above), which is saying, "upon whom the ends [PLURAL] of the ages [PLURAL] *ARE ARRIVED* means (according to their FLAWED reasoning) that "the end of the age" has already taken place / been fulfilled / come to its conclusion.
FALSE! But that's what happens when one "blurs these all together" as though they refer to the same thing.
Rather, they are DISTINCT!
Apart from careful study, one tends to "mindlessly repeat" the falsehoods they've *heard* others say.
Some are too pre-occupied to "study" these out, for themselves...

[and don't forget 1Cor10:11 kjv has it as: "upon whom the ends of the world are come." (see my previous post, for clarity)]
As pretty as your post looks, if you (and any readers "LIKING" your beautiful post) are placing 1Cor10:11 and Heb9:26 as saying the EXACT SAME PHRASE, and meaning the exact SAME thing, as the ones in the LIST ABOVE THOSE (as many tend to do!), then you've misunderstood these texts.
Only *you* can answer that question... (I don't need to see your answer).

ONLY YOU would Come up with that Idea. ALL JEWs will get a heavy dose of CHRIST IS YOUR ULTIMATE SACRIFICE, from the REVELATION's TWO WITNESSES. There are Multiple Sacrifices that do not involve BLOOD Sacrifices in the TEMPLE. FEAST OF FIRST FRUITS is ONE. Feasts of Tabernacles is one that does not have to have BLOOD, is another. It will be a JEWISH STATE in the KINGDOM. ~ ~ ~ THE CHURCH AGE is DONE. Get off your Prideful Horse, the KINGDOM is JEWISH.
JESUS never even used that word CHRISTIAN, He used the was ASSEMBLY, the same thing HE called O.T. Assembly.
Matthew 16:18 (YLT)
18 `And I also say to thee, that thou art a rock, and upon this rock I will build my assembly, and gates of Hades shall not prevail against it;
John 10:15-16 (YLT)
15 according as the Father doth know me, and I know the Father, and my life I lay down for the sheep,
16 and other sheep, {that's the N.T. ASSEMBLY} I have that are not of this fold{that's the last of O.T. ASSEMBLY}, these also it behoveth me to bring, and my voice they will hear, and there shall become one flock {that will happen at the RAPTURE}--one shepherd. {Jesus Christ}

If that isn't the end of the world to you then we probably aren't reading the same Bible.

I'm asking you about these two verses (one you had listed, the other you had forgotten to list)... what do THEY mean? :
--Hebrews 9:26
26For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.
--1Cor10:11 -
"... upon whom the ends of the world are come [/are arrived]."
Are you saying these two verses also *mean* the same thing as what you're saying above (in your quote at top of this post--esp. since you bolded the same phrase in the Heb9:26 verse, in your post) ?? Are you saying these all MEAN the same thing??

You will closely note, they run from the fact of the Lords fire at the Second Coming, as if it dosent exist

2 Peter 3:10-13KJV
10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.

3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.
4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.
