Since the publication of the Book of Revelations, how many conflicts in the Holy Land were thought to be the final battle described in John's sci-fi novel?
"In all, eight major Crusade expeditions—varying in size, strength and degree of success—occurred between 1096 and 1291."
I wondered how many times conflict in The Holy Land, and Jerusalem specifically, could have been considered to be following, however loosely, the plot line laid out by John the Revelator and found this:

When you're retired, you have time to sit and gape at just how little you really know.
