until apocalypse means "the literal end of existence" instead of "the collapse of the existing social order"

The literal Greek translation is just "disclosure," "uncovering," or "revelation" [of something previously hidden]. It's very likely that it was meant in the sense you said--a revelation of the rot at the heart of society. Early millenarian Christians always predicting the apocalypse has a lot of parallels with Q-Anon weirdos constantly predicting The Storm. It's basically the same idea.
