The Fourth Turning and the Coming of The Son Of Man
I will discuss the possibility that the Fourth Turning aligns with the Coming of the Son of Man. For reference, here is Matthew 24:21-39 (also see Mark 13:19-32)
-----------
For then there will be a great tribulation, such as has not occurred since the beginning of the world until now, nor ever will. Unless those days had been cut short, no life would be saved; but for the sake of the elect, those days shall be cut short.
Then if anyone says to you, ‘Behold, here is the Christ,’ or ‘There He is,’ do not believe him. For false Christs and false prophets will arise and will show great signs and wonders, so as to mislead, if possible, even the elect. Behold, I have told you in advance. So if they say to you, ‘Behold, He is in the wilderness,’ do not go out, or, ‘Behold, He is in the inner rooms,’ do not believe them. For just as the lightning comes from the east and flashes even to the west, so will the coming of the Son of Man be. Wherever the corpse is, there the vultures will gather.
But immediately after the tribulation of those days, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. And then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky with power and great glory. And He will send forth His angels with a great trumpet and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other.
Now learn the parable from the fig tree: when its branch has already become tender and puts forth its leaves, you know that summer is near; so, you too, when you see all these things, recognize that He is near, right at the door. Truly I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place. Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away. But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone.
For the coming of the Son of Man will be just like the days of Noah. For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and they did not understand until the flood came and took them all away; so will the coming of the Son of Man be.
-Mat 24:21-39 [NASB]

Here is a simplification of The Fourth Turning (by GAB AI):
The Fourth Turning is a historical theory from William Strauss and Neil Howe’s 1997 book The Fourth Turning: An American Prophecy. They argue that Western history (especially Anglo-American) moves in repeating cycles called saecula, each lasting about 80–100 years. Each saeculum contains four generational “turnings”:
The High – a post-crisis period of strong institutions, social cohesion, and collective confidence.
The Awakening – a time when the younger generation rebels against the previous era’s order, emphasizing spiritual/cultural renewal.
The Unraveling – institutions weaken, individualism rises, trust declines, and society fragments.
The Crisis (the Fourth Turning) – a major upheaval (war, revolution, economic collapse) that destroys the old order and forges a new one.
The authors predicted the next Crisis would begin around 2005–2025 and peak in the 2020s–2030s. They explicitly compared it to the American Revolution, the Civil War, and the Great Depression/WWII.
