If you want to know what will happen generally speaking in the future you can extract this from history, as history always repeats it's self.
Civilizations rise and fall....always, like a perpetual clock. We are not the exception to the rule.
So yes, I believe the phoenix always rises from the ashes only to die later, as predicted. The only exception that I can see to this rule is a scenario where the planet is actually destroyed by a event strong enough to do so. We can predict that will happen when the milky way collides with another galaxy or it could be sooner with a collision between earth and another chunk of rock big enough to do serious damage. But we can't predict when this will happen.
However history tells us something we can predict and that is the continual demise of sequential civilizations for as long as recovery is possible.
What we are seeing today is nothing more than the downhill slide of another one biting the dust.
We must agree to disagree. The Bible contains the most accurate prophecy in history that has been already fulfilled, but 2/3rds of the prophecy is does predict has not yet come true. It will come true.
