You are very talented at twisting the words of others to redefine others thoughts. The scripture is very profitable for all times...2 Timothy 3:16...but looking at current events and not scripture would only apply if current events are the fulfillment of scripture. Every generation has thought itself to be the last. Better to see how God used the terms used in Revelation in the OT than what your fertile imagination might engineer
One thing I look for is Biblical patterns and precedents.
God offered the Jews the Messiah. They rejected Him. They then paid in 70 AD tribulation.
God offers the world a Christ. The world is rejecting Him. Is it not reasonable to believe the world will suffer tribulation for it like the Jews did? How does one figure the world will get a pass when the Jews didn't?
"Shortly" is a relative term. Going back to what you said before, yes every generation has thought theirs was it. And in a way it was. I see that heart attack, that car crash, that 'your-ticket-is-punched moment as your rapture, whether it happens now or 1,000 years ago.
The thing that sets it as now for me is, people have never had the technology before now to have a true world event. 1,000 years ago news from europe took weeks if not months to reach america. Now it happens in milliseconds. That's the stand out feature that makes me think now is more likely than then.
But what do I know.

Again, we have repeated scriptures saying in the end false prophets will come in God's name to deceive His people and draw them away from His truth.
I look at the state of things and I see leaders claiming to be from God but embracing mammon worship, self idolatry, cheating of workers, abandoning the truly sick and poor, and spreading lies and hypocrisies.
I see a direct connection in the conflation of the Cross and the elephant.
But again, maybe that's just me.
