I currently reading the Bible, so it's funny you mention that as that's also what Jesus specifically warned about; there would be lots of shitty times that look like the end times (and plenty of false Messiahs) but when it actually happens, you'll know.
People have evangelized it for centuries, but there are signs following the ministry of Jesus that never happened until recent history: Israel becoming a nation in 1948, the rapid increase in knowledge through modern science, and "many shall run to and fro" with cars and airplanes.
But playing devil's advocate: The valley of dry bones could mean anything, pyramid architects and monks of old had extensive knowledge, and people moved fast with horse drawn carriage.
What matters to me is that my personal "end of the world" will definitely be within a century, and the Bible states that only God the father knows the time" so be prepared but don't try to guess it.
