To think God could not leave His words, exactly as He intended is absurd. Either He is in charge or He isn't. If He is it matters, if not then you have no hope. Eat drink and be merry, for tomorrow you die.
But Jesus did make a lot of statements, but one that is compelling to me is , "If it were not so, I would have told you."
Now read Revelation, and note it is written by Jesus Himself, transcribed by His servant.
Revelations is mostly history, not the future.
It went down already.
