Revelation how I understand it, is a very symbolic read.

Few big examples that I can remember well enough off the top of my head are:

The 7 headed beast = the governments (7 world powers)

Babylon the Great / The Harlot = The collective group of False religion including most of what is considered Christianity

The 4 horsemen = famine, death, sickness, Jesus (IIRC)

The Dragon = Satan (lols)

With those 4 in mind I can kinda summarize.

Revelation starts off Micheal the Arch Angel stands up throws Satan out of heaven to the earth. Woa to the Earth and to the seas for The Devil has come down to you with great anger knowing he has a short period of time.

According to some other scriptures and prophecies that was in Otober 1914 (I am sure I have made a big post somewhere about that).

4 horsemen start riding, we see more death, famine and sickness (which is accurate about the last century according to historians).

Eventually the beast turns on The Harlot and pretty much eats her, because God puts it in them to do so. So the governments will turn on all of religion, some quotes could be pulled from the news that might hint at that. Plus with all the holy wars, talk about same sex marriages, or whatever else it's not to far fetched to see that coming.

There is not going to literally be a 7 headed 10 horned beast, it is symbolism to something we have already seen.

It is still somewhat scary in my mind to think that the world as we know it could be in for a ride... if The Bible is right and my understanding is correct of course.

If I were assuming that is is, I would say Revelation definetly should be there, and it was a prediction prophecy that we are living in now, so there is more to come, luckly it does have a rather nice ending.
