>>Is Jesus going to destroy himself for all the damage he has done to the earth? Or are literalists misinterpreting the scriptures?<<

Wow! What a telling question! Are you implying that the destruction that occurs when God releases Satan’s angels who control leaders to the destruction that God does like in the flood for reconstructive purposes to be the same?

No, I am implying that your selective-literalism doesn't wash. Show me where these angels are Satan's angels:

"And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree. And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea, Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads." (Rev 7:1-3 KJV)

There were these angels of Satan, but notice they were only allowed to hurt men, not the earth:

"And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads. . . And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon." (Rev 9:11 KJV)

I could have misread. It is a very complicated book, loaded with imagery.
