"The last war according to the Bible" was the war between Rome and Israel that included the destruction of the Temple and Jerusalem in 70AD. The antichrist and everything else was in the 1st century.
Matthew 24. Jesus says that the Temple will be destroyed. The disciples ask when and about the end of the age. They were associating the destruction of the temple with the end of the age, the end of the old covenant age represented by Jerusalem and the Temple. Jesus then tells his disciples what signs THEY (not us) were going to see. Then he gives the timeframe in verse 34, "This generation will not pass till all these things take place". 37 years later in 70 AD, within that generation, Jerusalem and the Temple destroyed as Jesus predicted.
Matthew 24:14 The Good News will be preached throughout the world to all nations, then the end will come.
End of what? Old covenant age of Israel including the Temple.
Was the gospel preached throughout the world before 70 AD? Yes
Colossians 1:23b ... The Good News has been preached all over the world, and I, Paul, have been appointed as God's servant to proclaim it.
What do you think John the Baptist was saying when he asked them if they were fleeing "the wrath to come"? John new it was going to be destroyed as well and he called it the wrath of God.
Revelation (written before 70 AD) was just a broader rehash of Matthew 24. Except now it was imminent. You can sense the urgency of Revelation when you read it.
