I get really tired of these so called prophets claiming everyone is going to be healed and made whole and only the wicked will receive God's wrath (guess what? There are none good, no not one ~ JC)
Here is what the prophet Isaiah was shown from the Lord and before you make the argument that this prophecy was about Tyre, note the end where it says the entire earth is shaken to and fro which did not happen in the days of the war with Tyre.
IS. 24
Behold, the LORD maketh the earth empty, and maketh it waste, and turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad the inhabitants thereof.
2And it shall be, as with the people, so with the priest; as with the servant, so with his master; as with the maid, so with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the lender, so with the borrower; as with the taker of usury, so with the giver of usury to him.
3The land shall be utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled: for the LORD hath spoken this word.
4The earth mourneth and fadeth away, the world languisheth and fadeth away, the haughty people of the earth do languish.
5The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant.
6Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are desolate: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left.
7The new wine mourneth, the vine languisheth, all the merryhearted do sigh.
8The mirth of tabrets ceaseth, the noise of them that rejoice endeth, the joy of the harp ceaseth.
9They shall not drink wine with a song; strong drink shall be bitter to them that drink it.
10The city of confusion is broken down: every house is shut up, that no man may come in.
11There is a crying for wine in the streets; all joy is darkened, the mirth of the land is gone.
12In the city is left desolation, and the gate is smitten with destruction.
13When thus it shall be in the midst of the land among the people, there shall be as the shaking of an olive tree, and as the gleaning grapes when the vintage is done.
14They shall lift up their voice, they shall sing for the majesty of the LORD, they shall cry aloud from the sea.
15Wherefore glorify ye the LORD in the fires, even the name of the LORD God of Israel in the isles of the sea.
16From the uttermost part of the earth have we heard songs, even glory to the righteous. But I said, My leanness, my leanness, woe unto me! the treacherous dealers have dealt treacherously; yea, the treacherous dealers have dealt very treacherously.
17Fear, and the pit, and the snare, are upon thee, O inhabitant of the earth.
18And it shall come to pass, that he who fleeth from the noise of the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that cometh up out of the midst of the pit shall be taken in the snare: for the windows from on high are open, and the foundations of the earth do shake.
19The earth is utterly broken down, the earth is clean dissolved, the earth is moved exceedingly.
20The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, and shall be removed like a cottage; and the transgression thereof shall be heavy upon it; and it shall fall, and not rise again.
21And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall punish the host of the high ones that are on high, and the kings of the earth upon the earth.
22And they shall be gathered together, as prisoners are gathered in the pit, and shall be shut up in the prison, and after many days shall they be visited.
23Then the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed, when the LORD of hosts shall reign in mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and before his ancients gloriously.
True, but in those days Israel had not been restored to a nation state, which was a prophecy that did not come true until 1948. Other prophecies say that the generation that sees Israel restored will not pass before the coming of the son of man.
Whether one argues a generation is 70 years or a 100 years, it tells us the time is soon. Whether decades or months I am sure I do not know but I do not see civilization continuing like this until 2060.

We do not know if we are nearing the end or not. That is why I try to focus on what God wants me to do rather than eschatology.
I bet the Russians in the Bolshevik Revolution felt like they were in the end times, same with people at the start of WW1 and 2.
But I also agree vague prophecy from modern day people is not worth the focus.
True, but in those days Israel had not been restored to a nation state, which was a prophecy that did not come true until 1948. Other prophecies say that the generation that sees Israel restored will not pass before the coming of the son of man.

Is modern "Israel" the same though?
What does that question even mean or imply? A remnant will survive, likely not you or me, I'm comfortable with that are you?
