The count of Din reached 504 in 5765, when Ahmadinejad rose to power in Iran. In Parshat Bereshit, תדעל is the last of four kings who go to war against five kings. I think the four kings represent 32 years of Islamic war against the Western world, from the Iran hostage crisis in the year 5740 until year 5772. In other words, they represent the last four of the left kings of Edom. These 32 years are embedded in the 40 years of the last five of the right kings of Edom, the period from 5737 to 5777, from president Carter onwards. Note the hint at oil fields in Bereshit 14:10.
The war between Islam and the West was initiated by the Islamic world. The four kings must be them, not the West. At this stage, quite some notable spoils were taken by the Islamists. They made many Israeli victims, murdered Rabbi Meir Kahane, succeeded at 9/11, brought about a major economic crisis, and received South Lebanon as well as the Gaza strip.
