I do think that in a significant number of situations, the truth is NOT in the middle.

With that background and without entering into more details, I'd expect:
1. a hard drive towards a big war that will be stopped in the last moment (before or after the nukes go off, IDK).
2. Appearance of ET, and here be careful: they might be different ET who wil appear on the same day and tell us different stories.
3. World enters a new era of peace, even if it is long months or years only. New paradigms will come to exchange old ones.
4. Whoever wants to leave the planet will be provided by the means to do so with his family to a new planet of prosperity and well being, and authentic belief in God.
5. Heavenly Chastisement befalls the planet Earth and makes it uninhabitable to a great degree for any civilization to exist on the surface the way we know it (even if there are survival pockets of population underground)
6. Restoration of life on earth and civilizations of old, to happen after eons of time when the earth's changed environment allows.
7.Only then, after unknown duration of that new life on Earth, come the real End times.
The En times don't fit in the scenario today. Where are the converted Jews? Where are the continents christianized? Try to do so in Saudi Arabia and you will be killed. This is certainly not what Jesus prophesied before leaving our planet on Ascension Day. It is premature we expect End times and His return without fulfillment of His own prerequisites for that. Moreover, when He talked of the entire world or universe, He may well mean what he talked about, not only earth. But even without that, still we don't have fulfilled His words about our planet. I want Him to come tomorrow! He might, but only in a rapture- like event and not in Second Coming-event.

What is the MOST PLAUSIBLE thing that you could imagine shocking you into realizing you were wrong about such near future plausibilities?

I don't know that my first guess would be that you'd end up a blind sheep very easily or readily.
However, I've been wrong soooo many times in my life . . . in spite of my perfectionist tendencies trying hard to do most things "right," my high IQ, my keen observations, my high education, my careful listening etc. etc. etc.
