The present general understanding of Revelation is not quite 200 years old. In other words, for most of the history of Christianity, Revelation was generally considered to be dated in the past.
There won’t ever be a 200 million man army launched against the Middle East, for example.
LOL, OK, you go with that.
“The present general understanding of Revelation is not quite 200 years old.”
Now you are in trouble/ lol
Personally, I hold with Thomas Paine. It speaks in code and symbolism, beasts, seals, white horse riders, etc.. and has no clear meaning. Therefore, it actually reveals nothing. It could have a hundred interpretations that make sense, so it tells you nothing.
Second, a revelation only reveals something to the person receiving the message. To everyone else it is hearsay. So like Thomas, doubting is fine.
