No...I don't think the world is any more violent than it has been in ages past...we just have more effective weapons...but I don't think it's a sign of the 'end of the world' and I think a lot of the prophesies in the book of Revolation are metaphores about spiritual warfare...which has been going on since the beginning of time...and so a lot of what it talks about has already taken place or is taking place right now.
As far as 'no one knows the hour'...I think the main application in our lives is that we could bite the dust at any moment and so we must be ready to face God...I almost think that when we die...we go to 'judgment day' before the Lord. Time does not really exist in the spiritual realm...at least not in the way we understand it.
Those are some of my thoughts on the matter.

If you're really worried, remember this...during the Middle Ages many people believed the end of the world was near what with the plague of black death. Humans recovered from the pandemic. Then smallpox decimated populations, and spread terror throughout the world, but human life survived. Some thought WWI or WWII was Armageddon, but those wars are over. Look to history and you will read of terrors that easily rival what is happening now. Everything will be fine, but don't stop praying.

The bible says no one knows the day or the hour, but it also says there will be signs of the end. I think there are alot of signs now. Not saying that the world is ending tomorrow, but the signs are here, more than ever before.

I could say yes. But these things have been going on for decades.
So if you are Christian and Read Your Bible , Just remember that
it says you are to be prepared at all times because you never
know when the day will be here.

It took six billion years for the Earth to evolve into its current state... we might destroy our own species sometime in the future, but the Earth will be around until the sun becomes a supernova and then implodes on itself.

i don't think anyone will ever know when is the end of the world, it could happen anytime, tomorrow or maybe in million of years.

I believe that once we arrive at that point wherein they shall say “Peace and safety” (1 Thess.5:2-3 below) that then we will have the “sudden destruction” that will occur at the Sixth Seal (Re.6:12-17, Lk.17:24, Lk.21:34, Joel 1:15, Joel 2:31, Acts 2:20, Isa.2:19, Isa.13:6-11 below).
1 Thess.5:2For yourselves know perfectly that the DAY (Lk.17:24, Lk.21:34, Joel 1:15, Joel 2:31, Re.6:17 below) of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night (Matt.24:42, Matt.24:44 below).
1 Thess.5:3For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
Matt.24:42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.
Matt.24:44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.
Lk.17:24 For as the lightning, that lighteneth out of the one [part] under heaven, shineth unto the other [part] under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in his DAY (Re.6:17 below) .
Lk.21:34 And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and [so] that DAY come upon you unawares.
Joel 1:15Alas for the day! For the DAY of the LORD [is] at hand (Joel 2:31 below), and as a destruction from the Almighty shall it come (Isa.13:6, 9 below).
Joel 2:31The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, belore the great and the terrible DAY (Re.6:17 below) of the Lord come.
Acts 2:20The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, BEFORE that great and notable DAY (Re.6:12 below, Joel 2:31 above) of the Lord come:
Isa.2:19 And they shall go into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves of the earth, for fear of the Lord, and for the glory of his majesty (Re.6:16 below), when he ariseth TO SHAKE TERRIBLY THE EARTH.
Isa.13:6Howl ye; for the DAY of the Lord is at hand (Re.16:17, Acts 2:20, Joel 2:31, Jer.30:7, Joel 1:15); it shall come as a destruction from the Almighty.
Isa.13: 7 Therefore shall all hands be faint, and every man’s heart shall melt (Re.6:15-16 below):
Isa.13: 8 And they shall be afraid: pangs and sorrows shall take hold of them; they shall be in pain as a woman that travaileth: they shall be amazed one at another; their faces shall be as flames. (Lk.21:26).
Isa.13:9Behold, the DAY of the Lord cometh (1 Thess.5:2 above), cruel both with wrath and fierce anger (Re.6:17 below, Isa.13:6 above), to lay the land desolate (Re.6:14 below): and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it (Re.6:15-16 below).
Isa.13:10 For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine (Re.6:12 below).
Isa.13:11 And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible.
Re.6:12And I beheld when he had opened the SIXTH SEAL, and, lo, there was a GREAT EARTHQUAKE; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood (Acts.2:20, Joel 2:31 above);
Re.6:13And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth (Matt.24:29), even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.
Re.6:14And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and EVERY MOUNTAIN (Ps.104:6 below) AND ISLAND WERE MOVED OUT OF THEIR PLACES (Isa.2:19).
Re.6:15And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains (Isa.2:19, Isa.13:7-8 above);
Re.6:16And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of HIM THAT SITTETH ON THE THRONE (Lk.21:27, Isa.2:19), and from THE WRATH OF THE LAMB (Re.6:17 below):
Re.6:17For the GREAT DAY OF HIS WRATH IS COME (Re.6:16 above, Joel 2:31, Jer.30:7); and who shall be able to stand (Lk.21:36)?
