I don't get how can the time be more ripe at the end of the sixth age -(after the period of peace) when we look at the current advancement of digital currency, AI, agenda 2030, geopolitical situation, past two world wars and everything else that's been leading up to this- for the son of perdition to arrive then and not soon(er).
I can't see the current times as only being a "dress rehearsal". This is it. Sure, there might be a period of peace after the antichrist, and then Our Lord comes back after one (or so) more generation (when people start to slip up again) to end it all.
But how could you possibly still have jews, pagans and others around AFTER the period of peace to then crown their "messiah"? How could ANYONE fall for the antichrist AFTER the period of peace and (mostly) everyone is converted by then?
I could be wrong of course. Some times these private revelations are conditional. We cannot know for sure either way, but as much as I used to think it would be linear (5th, 6th time of the Church and everything rolling out as if we can just put all the private revelations together), it is not.
This time is when it is said, "If those days were not shortened, no flesh would be spared."
You are right about us being on a trajectory for the Antichrist to come immediately, but the enemies of God won't get the chance just yet. If things kept going as they are, genetic manipulations, chemical and nuclear pollution and weapons, and robotic warfare would literally spare no flesh; neither human, nor animal, nor microbe. Not to mention all those things you listed, and corruption in the Church.
These things all deserve a great chastisement, just like the flood; but, this time, it will be a deluge of fire and three days of darkness. This will put an end to both the spiritual and physical evils of our age (including most corrupting forms of tech), not least by eliminating everyone who would not respond to Grace.
If the period of peace lasts about 25 years, that will be just long enough for one generation to grow up that has not known the world as it was before. You will also have a bunch of people who were converted by force of circuмstance that never really learned how to be discerning and devout Catholics. I think that's why the gift of understanding is associated with the 6th age. Remember you can have traitors even among the Apostles.
People are materialistic in this 5th age. In the 6th and 7th age, after the chastisement, everyone will have learned not to put faith in technology. Everyone will be religious, either Catholic or Satanic, and they will all be looking for a Messiah to arrive. First one will come, then the other, then the End.
As long as you don't see two old prophets striking the Earth with plagues and destroying their enemies by breathing fire, you don't have to worry about Antichrist. You have to worry about the chastisement and darkness. Russia is the indicator. The more their punish and are punished, the closer the chastisement and Consecration.
