I think we are.
What was happening back then?
Let's look at the passages we have that speak of that time.
Let's start with Matthew 24
Right after he told them one of the pieces of evidence used against him that the temple would be destroyed they ask this question. But it isn't one question, it has three parts, speaking of three times.
When will the Temple be destroyed?
What is the sign of your coming again
When is the end of the world (what is the sign that the end has come)
Many pre-terists take this as showing all these thing have come and gone, but lets not get distracted (this isn't an invitation to speak of preterism so please don't, it's against the rules).
Now Yeshua goes by the list above
1. When will the temple be destroyed? The abomination of desolation is then spoken of. verse 15--
2. What is the sign of your coming again? --this is addressed in verse 23- onward.
It also answers the end of the world question, in part. It tells what will happen but not 'when'.
36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
My personal belief is that the reason no one could know including Yeshua is because
1. Free will
2. Yeshua was living on the earthly plane at the time.
This ties in with what follows.
37 But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
what follows is usually what is given more attention , the eating and drinking and the marrying and giving in marriage, but let's look at the 'days of Noah'.
I'm going to post pertinent verses from Genesis 6
--------------------------------------
From these passages we can determine what was happening in the Days of Noah and determine what would happen in the end of the world, which precedes the new heaven and new earth when Yeshua will make all things 'new'.
All the above verses show that there was only one thing going on and that was the the corruption of the creation, mankind, animals, birds, every living thing. This corruption was nothing less than genetic manipulation.
I believe we are in the same days as proceeded the flood and that means that Yeshua will be returning very soon before all is corrupted again with only a handful that have true Adamic genes from which G-d created in him.
The 'earth was filled with violence' meant that violence was and alteration from the perfection that was G-ds creation. The greatest of which was mankind which was made in the image of G-ds.
The word in Hebrew translated as violence is 'hamas', which can mean violence but also 'wrong'. Wrong as in not what G-d created.
Today we see the same thing happening.
Ever since DNA was discovered and that it is found in every living organism man has sought to alter it.
Going back to the Torah we see that there has always been the commandment to not mix species. That even growing two different crops in the same fields were forbidden as they could be cross pollinated.
How far are we from the end?
Humans can be altered in their DNA in their present form, not just in succeeding generations.

Let's look at the passages we have that speak of that time.
Let's start with Matthew 24
3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying,
1."Tell us, when shall these things be? and
2. what shall be the sign of thy coming,
3. and of the end of the world?

5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. 6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes,
in divers places. 8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.

4 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.
5 And G-D saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations
11 The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.
12 And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.
13 And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them.
