| Revelations was written by Apocalypse of John. He had a beef with Rome. Much of what he wrote could apply to today (i.e. The Treaty of Rome). Equally, it could apply to the Rome of his day
The Talmud, the Bible and the Qu'ran are pretty ambiguous and none follow an accurate time frame. They are open to much misinterpretation and are actively manipulated by both Jew, Christian and Muslim fundamentalist.
The greatest threat to us now (as opposed to the Nazis and later the Soviets) is religious fundamentalism, which justifies its existence on a narrow interpretation of the three Holy Books and actively seeks inter-religious confrontation.
Bush, Blair, Bin Laden and Sharon all conspire(d) for the same.
