To me, the flaw in your argument is that there were so many times and areas over the last 2,000 years that could just as easily be seen as “the end times, rapture is coming”

plague after plague after plague

debauchery, currently fringe sexual practices being glorified

massive conflicts

like, if 1918-1932 wasn't a leading indicator of the rapture what makes you think today is any closer? or is it paradoxically because it didn't happen the last 50 times this is always therefore closer?

there are lots of irrelevant prophecies that can have things retroactively attributed to them, which breaks their prophetic capability, hard to prioritize Christian death cults
