That's the minimum, some strands see actual conflict as being necessary.

I find the whole prediction of the end times somewhat ridiculous. Hitler was the antichrist. Then Stalin. Israel being a state in 1948 was a sign of the end. Then a biblical generation of 40 years went by and 1988 was to be the beginning of the end. I find it amusing, for those who believe in the Bible when it says the no one knows the time of Jesus' return, that so many try to predict it.
