Are biblical prophecies occurring now?

The only prophecy that still needs to happen is God collects his elect. After that comes Judgement Day. Everything else already happened 1900-2000 years ago.

Very shortly the events described in the book of Revelation will begin, starting with WW 3. What is happening now are warnings to prepare us for the very great sufferings we will soon endure.

2Tim 3:1 But know this, that in the last days critical times hard to deal with will be here. 2 For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, haughty, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, disloyal, 3 having no natural affection, not open to any agreement, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, without love of goodness, 4 betrayers, headstrong, puffed up with pride, lovers of pleasures rather than lovers of God, 5 having an appearance of godliness but proving false to its power; and from these turn away.

I'm not aware that there are any of any significance that happened in a very long time.

However, I suppose others will have a different take on the whole matter.

If you are obsessed with it. attribute everything you see to biblical prophecies, then yes.. They always have and always will, if that's how you think.

Considering that the nature of so-called "prophecies" is to be so open ended and poorly defined so that they can be seen anywhere, like faces in clouds...

No, which is hardly surprising seeing as they haven't happened in the past either.

seems like it. society is going downhill and people are getting stupider

Not now.

Not ever.
