This is, sadly, the beauty of John - revelation is a fucking brilliant book, but it's so fantastically ambiguous that pretty much anyone, at any point, can inscribe temporal eschatology. Millenarians, Joachimism and so on. End days strikes me as an important metaphysical perimeter, but it's excessively dangerous when used as political collateral.
