The bible is PRECISE in it's language.
Did that happen yet?
Did John 5 happen yet?
Refer to 2Peter 3 and understand that when CHRIST descended and was raised, those who had been in the earth whom HE preached by the SPIRIT, were shown to be alive...
They didn't remain alive...their bodies, their physical vessels remained in the earth, but their souls were led captive in HIS TRAIN...they are no longer being held captive in captivity...
Did you think that their souls and their vessels were in hell waiting?
Or just their souls?
They were released from that prison and brought somewhere else...

There is no end of the world - trying to build "theology" on a poor translation of the Greek text leads to bogus results.
Try using a better translation such as Young's Literal:
Mat 24:3 And when he is sitting on the mount of the Olives, the disciples came near to him by himself, saying, 'Tell us, when shall these be? and what is the sign of thy presence, and of the full end of the age?'
Paul told his readers that the end of the ages had come upon them:
1 Co 10:11 And all these things as types did happen to those persons, and they were written for our admonition, to whom the end of the ages did come
And in Hebrews:
Heb 9:26 since it had behoved him many times to suffer from the foundation of the world, but now once, at the full end of the ages, for putting away of sin through his sacrifice, he hath been manifested.
