Years ago in a Methodist church I volunteered a lot in our church youth group. The youth pastor asked me to spend a few Wednesdays on Revelation and the end times -- a heavy topic so I every now and then sprinkled in some humor. I told the kids that one thing to look out for to determine if a speaker or writer about eschatology doesn't know his stuff, is if he says the last book of the Bible is "Revelations" with a "s" (it's "Revelation").
Shortly after that we had a visiting bishop give us his screed on how we should support government policies that "help" people. He repeatedly said that his message was supported "from Genesis to Revelations". Every time he did, some of the teenagers turned to me and smiled. LOL
I never have gotten a lot out of the book of Revelation. Scholars are still debating what the historical points of Daniel’s prophesies that should have already occurred. Prophesies of the future? I am skeptical of people who are adamant that they know the answers to the book of Revelation. It is hard to read different commentaries because there are a lot of uncertain points that have different interpretations.
If the rapture occurs fine, if it doesn’t, fine. If I die, fine. My takeaway is to just be prepared.
Regarding politics and religion, somebody here commented that they doubted God was a Republican, but they knew, Satan was a Democrat.
