I think it is likely to be the doomsday clock which got closer to midnight when the Atomic Scientists saw the world getting closer to nuclear annihilation. Though there are Christian overtones of Armageddeon, etc, also.
I always got the impression that Midnight Oil placed the blame squarely on man for causing many problems and gave them responsibility to try and solve them. Unlike many fundies in the US who practically clap their hands with glee when there is more conflict and get excited that maybe all the conflict will lead to Christ's second coming and the rapture.
