It's all part of the beginning of Armageddon foretold by the Bible.
If you wish to be specific, I would consider what you have to say about it. I personally am not 'spiritual' and am not a bible scholar, but I can think of several reasons why religious texts are valuable to understand.
1) Some of the writings describe events that shake out of basic human nature and systems devised by humans. Some of these structures, strategies, etc are so universal that they have been repeated through our history.
2) A good strategy which would give a jump-start to a project would be to ride the shirt-tails of something which a sizable percentage of people already believe by virtue of it being 'sacred' in the texts of a popular religion. Sort of a 'predictive programming' on steroids one might say.
