Honest question: if you were alive and talking about this one hundred years ago, would you have said "The Great War" instead of "WWIII"?
You only come to this conclusion because we have already had two world wars, you're making some assumptions about what the writings in Revelation mean, and you're assuming there will even be a third world war. What evidence do you have that these events pertain to WWIII? How do you know there won't be several other world wars between now and then? We've already had two world wars which apparently had nothing to do with Revelation.

Again, what evidence do you have for this? We thought this for decades during the Cold War... and we're still here.
