You should then have some proofs which everyone else could validate.
Otherwise, anything beyond proof is blind faith and a fat waste of time.
I would rather look at this in a practical way by contemplating what the angel Gabriel should or should not have said if what you are saying above is true.
Daniel 8:19
19 And he went on to say: “Here I am causing you to know what will occur in the final part of the denunciation, because it is for the appointed time of [the] end.
If the angel was refering to the denunciation on Jerusalem by the Romans in 70ad then he should not have said "final part of the denunciation" nor should he have said the "appointed time of the end".
If what you are tempted to say above is true we would now be living after the time of the end and the final part of the denunciation.
I personally think the world we are now living in is so evil that it certainly deserves a denunciation and this especially to those who bear Jehovah's name and yet continue to neglect his words of justice and truth.
Therefore, being very pragmatic about the present condition of the world and measuring this against the words of Gabriel in Daniel Chapter 8 I have to conclude and also hope that the final part is still to come.
If you can validate what you are tempted to believe I may reconsider my conclusion above.
