The book of revelations is all an illusion, IMO, just like Nostradamus.
It's all a play on words to the point where a million and one things can fit what's being said, all depending on how it's interpreted.
For example...
When the first seal is broken, the Book of Revelations shows that Jesus Christ (sent by the Word) is able to make His appearance among men and to ride His white horse -- a steed called 'Integrity' -- across the earth. With His arm in full swing, He brings a sword, not peace to the planet, and victoriously cuts a path of righteousness wherever He goes. See Rev. 6:1
Clearly that refers to Gandalf the White and Shadowfax. Hello! Lord of the Rings movies are in the top 10 of all time! The second, third, and fouth seals could all be referring to Sauron and the Ringwraiths.
In all seriousness, you can take ANY revelation and always apply it to SOMETHING going on in current events. You could've done it back in 1945 when the ABombs were dropped on Nagasaki and Hiroshima.. a common theme is fire, the sea, flame, yadda yadda. I could even apply them to Mortal Kombat if I so desired.
That's the illusion of them... they "seem" to always fit in with what's going on in the world.
