Here’s something to ponder when you wrestle with the timing of it mentally:
Think of the technology of the Beast System and what that entails:
*Biometrics
*Massive Data Bases (Data Centers)
*Tracking
*Cameras everywhere
*Centralized Control everywhere
Now, while you have all that and refer to Revelation 13 for your technology and also Revelation 11 where the “entire world” sees/observes the Two Witnesses - now think what Musk, Branson, and others are suggesting they want to do in 10 years or so:
*Colonize the moon
*Colonize Mars
*Colonize Space
Now, the phrase “earth dwellers” but usually translated “those who dwell upon the earth” is used 11 times in Revelation. Which means, we won’t get to the colonizing of space/moon/mars by the Tribulation. Revelation (3:10; 6:10; 8:13; 11:10 2xs; 13:8, 12, 14 2xs; 14:6; 17:8)

Use that as a timing metric and you will come to the conclusion of just how close we are.
That is just my humble opinion.
Well the Tribulation starts later in September, so you are probably right.
Here is another Scripture to add to the mix regarding the timing of prophecy...
Daniel 12:4
King James Version
4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, *****and knowledge shall be increased.*****
yes ...
just for clarity.. you said “decades” .. I said “sooner”
I assumed you were thinking a bit farther down the rode than me.
When I look at what I've seen and the changes over the last 50 years or so ... I see one of al gores “hockey sticks”
When I put that with the WEF plan for 2030 ... well ...
2023 - today ... 2030 ...hmmm about 7 years from today...
gives me goose bumps.
“Musk, Branson, and others are suggesting they want to do in 10 years or so:
*Colonize the moon
*Colonize Mars
*Colonize Space”
I don’t want to scare you, but some folks claim that horse has left the barn:
