[Strategerist]

The End Times are described as a period where violence, every sort of vice, disease, and disasters increases.

Well, I know people don't want to believe it, but per population violence worldwide is DECREASING. Average life expectancy is going up, and there's been no particular increase in disasters. Individual disasters of a given type may kill more people due to population increasing, but there's been no increase in the number of large earthquakes (actually the number of them has been below the 100 average for 6+ years running), no increase in volcanism, etc.

Of course, even if all that is accurate, it does nothing whatoseover to delay Christ's imminent return.

Just better media coverage.
