Well as for my part as a christian I don't think that god would let his word be spread all over the world all wrong. Sure some might have got lost during time or got a wrong interpretation but if it is all wrong we can't be held responsible for what we did by him anymore because we read a pure lie. If he exists and I believe he does he couldn't let that happen really or we all deserve a free ticket to heaven (if there would be really big mistakes in it).
The Bible knew like over 1500 years before it even happened that gods peoples (the jews) will soon have their own state again (israel) it took until the mid 20th century for this to happen but the Bible knew this long before. I still trust it really.
And it also tells alot about whats happening there right now.
And that this war down there will sooner or later end in the Apocalypse or will be the start of it. As far as I got that there will be a new temple at the place where the old temple stands. The antichrist will build some sort of living, selfthinking, speaking, commanding 'Picture' 'Statue' of him there. Whoever will not follow it's rules can just expect the worst on earth. And as soon as this happens gods people will (as the Bible tells) see this sign and flee on the nearby mountains.
But this could happen now or in a thousand years. Even though I believe were close to the end. But there were christians a thousand years ago who thought that the apocalypse is near, but back then the gods peoples didn't even have their own state. Now most of the things the Bible told to happen happend. So it possibly could be.
Still I want to say everyone who reads the Bible will understand certain things different so I'm not saying I'm right with everything I just say what I believe in.
