@kjw47,
Somehow your story just doesn't have the ring of truth. It sounds like a
myth. Myths demonstrate that stories about imaginary events have long lives and lasting effects on human society. But it's a mistake to see them as anything other than culturally-approved fiction.
One tip-off that a story is mythological and not factual is that if you were to go back a thousand years, two thousand years, or even longer (depending on how old the myth is) the people who believe the myth all accept the same claims and embrace the same timeline – they always believe that the predicted course of events will take place in the present. We are always "nearing the fall of Babylon", always a few steps away from the "battle of Armageddon", always anticipating a triggered "tribulation" – always based on the same "evidence": the words of the myth itself!
One thing
is true, though – "this world will not get any better it will continue to get worse." This is because the growth of the human population fueled by the development of a global industrial economy has upset the balance of natural forces which have preserved our ecological niche for tens of thousands of years. We're "living the pangs of distress all right" – the result of our own greed and the power that our destructive myths hold over us.

This is just another way of admitting that things actually
are hopeless!
