This could have 2 differrent meanings in my opinion. It could be talking about having a war coming to those who oppress the weak (not necessarily religious but could be). I don't think it actually means the prophet, pariah, masiah etc. I think it is more to the people that immitate them to the so called world leaders and that their reign as a pretence will come to an end 'it's a brave new world'.
I reckon the essence of it is the people of the world coming together eventually against those who oppress under the pretence of these titles. People will do anything for this new world, everyone has the power within them. This song is empowering to people and the and are acting as a leader for us to fight oppression now that people have conquered the inner fight.
The last stanza(i call it this because his songs are more like poems), is a little confusing but it could be telling us what he personally believes because they did say in an interview that they are making this album a little more personal for them, although this is confusing as well because Jared wears a cross around his neck so i don't think that his words are that literal.
These are all my own opinion feel free to comment and say what you think as well, its always good to hear another's opinion. :D Hope I helped clear it up a bit more or maybe confused you :P :D
I don't think this is about religion. When he says
"A warning to the prophet, the liar, the honest
This is War
To the leader, the pariah, the victim, the messiah
This is war"
He means opposites. He is warniong everyone, no favorites. The war is a war between him and the world trying to save it, make it better, change. He is an alt rock band, so he is a non-conformist. he wants other people to be themselves more often. thats his "war".

perhaps a brave new world refers to the novel, by orwell? or was it bradburry? anyhoo if it does then it fits your interpretation quite well
