I would tend to agree with that statement. But, history is changing and being made in a time nearer the end of all things and the revealing of the one true God, Jesus Christ. Prophetic markers have not even been hit yet to even have reached 42 months, or 3.5 years on antichrist reign before the one and only next coming of Christ at the very end as he comes to destroy evil and their satanically controlled hybrid and human armies that will be arrayed against the heavenly host. We are "approaching" those times (no sooner than 3.5 years and any time after), so historical events are always good to review, but prophetic events are even better.
