Is that the only book you've ever read about the End Times of a civilization?
Because they always die, these fake constructs. These ideology-driven things called civilizations.
Because of this, there are a lot of other texts about "end times" out there.
The Prince, by Machiavelli
The Muqadima, by Ibn Khaldun
Everything by Robert Burns (the end of Gaelic culture)
The Origins of Totalitarianism, Hannah Arendt
Diogenes and the Cynics of Greece
Many First Nations leaders, like Crazy Horse
Google "end times" and "civilization collapse" and you'll find many more.
The Abrahamic "End Time" story is just there to convince people that "God will take care of everything" so you don't have to do anything to change the balance of power in your society. This is a message from the Elite - the Literati who wrote our religious texts. And "End Time" texts were a very popular marketing tool of religions because they have a lot of gravitas and touch on the worst type of death of all - extinction.
But to only read the Abrahamic stories of this important subject is to reduce your knowledge to a few hundred years of Abrahamic PR. It's like getting all your knowledge about nutrition from a 20-hour series of Pepsi commercials.
