So we're just conveniently ignoring the fact they're supposed to be riding horses (which they don't do in warfare anymore),
wearing steel armor (which we stopped doing when kevlar was invented), and breathing fire out of their actual mouths like they're some kind of mythical humanoid dragon drug trip?
Um... okay, I guess, if you really want to.
Kinda silly though.
If you wack your head enough times to forget the things that don't apply,
then I guess everything can apply.
I think we have officially entered that prophesied time period now

I would say that the period of ''wars and rumors of wars'' began approximately in the year 37 AD
Well, to be fair, there was that whole "Tower of Babel" thing that really hindered the rumor mill, there, for awhile.

i think what really endangers the world now, in addition to the war, is the threat of Artificial Intelligence, the World Economic Forum, plans for fifteen minute cities, CBDC currencies, censorship & the rise of new fascism/communism hybrid political theories, as well as the bioweapons of the vaccine mandates, the narrative control of the pandemic & more besides. It is not merely the wars which make me believe we are in the End Times, it is the whole lot of these things in combination. In world war 2 for example there was still freedom & societal good, people lived by a moral code - these days people are blown in every direction by the winds of change, temptation & power. We live in very dangerous times, and nobody in this thread has taken account of these things. Perhaps I should have included this statement in the OP, I must admit it didn't cross my mind at the time. But yes, dangerous times.
In 1886, after celebrating his mass, the Pope had a horrific vision of demonic spirits congregating in Rome. This vision had a great impression on Leo XIII and prompted him to write, promulgate the Saint Michael prayer. He ordered the Prayer to Saint Michael be added to the Leonine Prayers. The prayer's opening words are similar to the Alleluia verse for Saint Michael’s feasts on 29 September in the Roman Missal.

O glorious Archangel St. Michael, Prince of the heavenly host, defend us in battle, and in the struggle which is ours against the principalities and powers, against the rulers of this world of darkness, against spirits of evil in high places (Eph 6:12).
