are going by biblical " prophecy "? to make the claim this matches the end of times can you please prove it by stating a period of at least 50 years in length during the last 5,000 years that doesn't match those Prophecies ? Most of that time was considerably worse . Did you know the reason Byzantium fell was mainly because the black plague had gone through and wiped nearly the entire population out and they only had 300 fighting men left ? Imagine 300 men left out of all the Roman legions that used to hold the Eastern half of the Roman empire . Where are the plagues you cite that match that ?
