Is this saying that the end of the world started when Christ died?
What are your thoughts on this?

The Greek word translated "world" is aion, meaning "age." It is also important to notice that the Greek word translated "foundation," katabole, originating from the Greek word kataballo ("to throw down, cast down"), is better translated as "down-casting." In other words, God foreknew the coming of the Messiah before the fall of Adam, the "down-casting" of the kosmos. Christ appeared at the end of the age to suffer at the climax of Israel's history that will lead into a new age with a New Covenant ruled by the Messiah, Jesus.

Are you saying that the old age ended with Jesus' death, or that the old
age is yet to end?

Hi enarchay,

There was no 'fall of Adam.' You can read about this in Ray's article, unders the subheading 'THE UNSCRIPTURAL ‘FALL OF MAN’, link below.

--- Quote ---It is important to notice that Paul says the branches cut-off will not be grafted back in unless they repent. If they repent they will be grafted back in. That's a big if, though.

We believe very strongly in the salvation of all here. There is no 'if.' When Christ returns, throught the Lake of fire judgment, "the world will learn righteousness."
Col 1:20 And through Him having made peace through the blood of His cross, it pleased the Father to reconcile all things to Himself through Him, whether the things on earth or the things in Heaven.
Isa 26:9 With my soul I have desired You in the night, Yes, by my spirit within me I will seek You early; For when Your judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness."
mercy, peace, and love

I would say it ended between the transfer from the Old Covenant to the New Covenant, marked by the destruction of the Temple.
