Others think it was a two fold prophecy, it has been historically fulfilled centuries ago and has been fulfilled recently with the creation/partitioning of the state of Israel by the British in 1918 and since.

I think it follows four verses behind what we well know was a prophecy of the outpouring of the Holy Ghost on the day of Pentecost.
To say that a letter written is speaking of what happened 2000+ years ago and then four verses later it has jumped 2 thousand years into the future to our present day and beyond is quite a stretch.
Of course this is not necessarily what you were saying... I am just speaking of those who make that stretch.
