I hope I have interpreted what you wrote correctly,
You have.
But the "end of times" of the Apocalypse (which in the Greek is transliterated as a revealing) is often interpreted in the personal frame as a great tragedy, or a great trauma, with winners, losers, et.c. Should it be shown that all of this is nothing special, and that, well, maybe it's always been this way, is just another possibility of perspective.
Similarly -- I'm no musician -- but if you overlay octave progressions on some tonal basis, you get an illusion of motion, of progress, of activity, of time itself ... when in fact the exact nature of the presentation is cyclical, and is thus timeless.
