Always took it as a chaotic, end-time scenario caused by over-population, mass/uncontrolled consumerism and then global war brought upon us by greed and inflexibility. Where we've taken ourselves to the very brink, the world (or what's left of it) falling apart around us, while the people who are suppose to be representing good, wholesome values (the Christians in this instance) hide behind the reasoning they've never done anything wrong and that their faith will provide for them right up until it's far too late to reverse the damage done.
