These days its not a matter of interpretation, there are people actually working to bring about WW3 because its prophecy.  Surely you have heard the phrase, "hasten the coming of the Christ."
  To hasten the coming of the Christ, many groups here and in Israel are working actively to blow up the Temple Mount, and they have been more energized since the defeat of "ancient Babylon."  
  If the Temple Mount blows, guess what??  You, I, and just about every other living person on this earth can froget about the next sunrise because you know damn well the chaos such an event would cause around the globe.  And we are dealing with nuts not because they think this will happen, they WANT this to happen, and are actively working to bring this about.  Did you forget what Meir Kahne tried in the 80's??
  Finally, no one in the Bush admin has to spout off this stuff.  His followers and supporters are the evangelicals and the extreme right.  The point was that they are gaining too much influence because they think Bush is the man from god put into power to bring about the final prophecy.  Did you even once listen to Robertson and the like before the war??  Obviously you didn't because if you did, you would know why they were all so happy!!  Every single day they were happily proclaiming how "the greatest move by god" will occur shortly after the defeat of Babylon.  What the fuck do you think that "greatest move of god" is??
  Well "greatest move of god" is WW fucking 3, not some man who will walk on water!!  And that can't happen unless god can return to his temple.  And god will not return unless some nut blows up the Temple Mount so they build the new temple for god.  
  But you and the likes will never see the danger!!  You only think Arabs can be terrorists bc they are Arabs.  I guarantee you that if someone blows up the Temple Mount, you better pray that there is a god because at that time only a god will be able to save this world from the events that will ensue!!
