I find these times very similar to the latter part of the 60’s and 70’s. Having been raised in an evangelical church, during those times we were also told we were in the end times and Christ’s second coming had to be at any time. Be surprised if we make it to the 70’s. Actually from the earliest days of Christianity the second coming and God’s retribution was impenitent due to the condition of the world.

I was about to say, 70 AD was no doubt viewed as being pretty close to end of the world for Christians AND Jews.
In 2nd Timothy Paul talks about how in the “last days” difficult times will come. (Paul was in his final days in prison, awaiting his death sentence). “Men will be lovers of self, money, boastful, without self control, etc.”
The “last days” have been since Jesus was resurrected. But of course the same human conditions were around before that as well.
