A war of philosophies?
Coming to the conclusion that a "biblical flood" is required in this world is pretty harsh toward your fellow peoples.
"1Now concerning the times and the seasons, brothers, you have no need to have anything written to you. 2For you yourselves are fully aware that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. 3While people are saying, "There is peace and security," then sudden destruction will come upon them as labor pains come upon a pregnant woman, and they will not escape."
"1BUT AS to the suitable times and the precise seasons and dates, brethren, you have no necessity for anything being written to you. 2For you yourselves know perfectly well that the day of the [return of the] Lord will come [as unexpectedly and suddenly] as a thief in the night. 3When people are saying, All is well and secure, and, There is peace and safety, then in a moment unforeseen destruction (ruin and death) will come upon them as suddenly as labor pains come upon a woman with child; and they shall by no means escape, for there will be no escape."
"I don't think, friends, that I need to deal with the question of when all this is going to happen. You know as well as I that the day of the Master's coming can't be posted on our calendars. He won't call ahead and make an appointment any more than a burglar would. About the time everybody's walking around complacently, congratulating each other—"We've sure got it made! Now we can take it easy!"—suddenly everything will fall apart. It's going to come as suddenly and inescapably as birth pangs to a pregnant woman."

To be sure, just because I know, doesn't mean I will survive, I am not so naive as to think like other Christians, once saved always saved, nor do I think I will be ruptured away, to watch it all from above.

Are your assertions based mostly on inner knowledge or some type of communication with higher entities?
Higher entities? Yes, they come from the Watchtower.
The artistic style of Jehovah's Witness literature is always unmistakable, and these four pictures have been presented on this site on previous occasions.

I just want to add 3 different bible versions so you can get the full scope of event one, the "peace" proclamation.

For record purposes, knowing the time of revealing these things has not yet come, but in God's perfect timing will His truth be made to stand in the Day of the Lord.
1. First Trumpet (last's all the way through the fourth trumpet) - Global economic collapse, drought/floods/fires leading to global food shortage.
2. Second Trumpet - multiple port cities across the USA are attacked by small sized nuclear devices, this is the event which the DHS and FEMA etc. have been preparing for (false flag event blamed on Iran).
3. Third Trumpet - not revealed fuly yet. Most likely a US relaliation straike against Iran using modern nuclear weapons, this kicks up so much debry in the air global climate is thrown into a frenzy.
4. Forth Trumpet - not revealed fully yet. Most likely EMP attack against the USA disabling their ability to retaliate any further, this event leads to the complete collapse of the USA as an independent nation. Creating a power void in global politics.
5. Fifth Trumpet - The rise of 10 nations in Europe who give their power to one in an attempt to fill the void left by the fall of the USA. The USA is occupied by these foreign soldiers but only briefly, as international reaction to this union is swift.
6. Sixth Trumpet - 4 eastern nations (China and Russia will be 2 of them) join together to oppose the power grab attempt by the 10 European nations. The Beast governement (Europe 10) and the Dragon governement (China/Russia) come together in battle to decide the future direction of the world. Since so much nuclear weapons have already been deployed they must fight in local range (until one side starts to loose lol), they join in the area of Israel/Syria to do battle. All of WW3 is Armegeddon but it's conclusion is the climax of it.
7. Seventh Trumpet - Return of Jesus Christ and the resurrection of 144,000 from Earth's history put an end to WW3 and destroy the countries destroying the Earth (China/Russia and Europe 10). All 7 vials are poured out in one 24 hour day as God judges the Earth. This trumpet will sound and be complete in one day, the day of Pentecost 2013 (May 19th, 2013).
From Pentecost 2012 to Pentecost 2013 is the Day of the Lord, a year for the recompenses of Zion.
God Bless,

Very interesting.
The bible always interests me. Not because of religion. but because it's the oldest book in the world.
