Berean,
Good points!
If things get better, looks like we're getting closer to "peace and security"
If things get worse, it's more proof that we're in the last days.
Looks like you're covered either way.
If God is backing anyone, let them make an unequivocal prediction about what will happen, not one that can be justified no matter which turn world events take.
Of course, the society has the incredible ability to understand prophecies after the events they foretold have already happened. That's impressive!
