There actually is no "other, older" use of the term - save once, Jenny..and that usage died without having an effect on any current sects. Just as added historical info. The use of the term now in reference to history is simply extending a modern term -onto- history for perspective. You give these fuckers an inch and they'll try to take a mile....lol.
Perhaps it had to do with the hilarious number of doomcriers in the old world, and the long history of their doomsayings coming out flat? If there are two dozen people proclaiming the end and the events of the end at any given moment - you'll fail to hear them even if you were inclined towards such a belief. They become noise. The field here, however, was ripe. Far less competition, but just as many sympathetic listeners...perhaps even more?
(I know I'm not one of the faithful, so I;m not giving you the full brunt of what you desire in this...but it's a favorite subject of mine, prophecy, the background paintings of prophecy, etc)

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
