Two real signs of the end
Here are two real, observable, quantifiable signs of the end:
1. The Devil and his spiritual children asserting dominion over the entire world. There is only a finite amount of real estate in this world. The Devil and his children are now making headway into lands historically protected from their presence.
2. In previous eras which were nadirs of degeneracy there was a receptivity to the truth. The ancient world wanted and accepted the truth of Christianity. During the Reformation there was a receptivity to the recovered truth of the word of God and apostolic doctrine. Yet in this current nadir of degeneracy we don't see that receptivity to the truth, let alone a desire for it. Yes, there has been tremendous satanic activity to bring people down, but opportunity to know the truth is also everywhere. We seem to be in a time when the births of God's elect are fewer and fewer. The mass lunacy and willful, trollish mocking and hatred of God make this world feel like hell itself. It doesn't have the feel of God's remnant being its usual small number vs. a world of the unregenerate that naturally has larger numbers. It feels like human jackals and hyenas and evil clowns and soul-dead jokers are being vomited out of vaginas in large numbers as a precursor to a final act of redemptive consummation.

I sometimes wonder if I have a little too much respect for the game that the devil plays. It seems to me that the places that we have perceived to be protected are often the places he has often been doing his best work.

I'll echo your original "word" on that one.
All areas of the Earth have the influence of anti-Christ constantly seeping through it. To some degree or another. Also, all nations are populated with fallen humanity and judged on a scale of perfection will have a black record. Yet some places the Devil owns, and some places the Devil attacks. And some places evil is sanctioned, and other places evil goes against cultural norms. Judge things by your feet. Where are your feet? You could live in Islam right now. In the 20th century you could have lived in a communist country. Evil manifest on this planet is not like an even layer of paint over the surface of the globe. The American Revolution and the French Revolution were contemporaneous; one was biblical and good, the other was atheist and evil. America has been under attack from its founding by forces that despise its biblical foundation. Let's not whip and beat and castigate the child from birth then piously condemn the child as bad. The Devil grins.
