NearertoGod,
I suggest that you really study the book of revelation keeping in mind that there are numerous different understandings about the end times. The internet is a mine feild of information especially about revelation because this is where the cults love to recruit new members.
There are theories about Pre-trib, mid-trib and post-trib. There are theories that revelation already happened to the early church, there are theories that it is partially complete and there are theories that it is still going to unravel and there are theories that it will never happen, that we must learn from the moral issues in the book.
Dr David Pawson has got excellent material on Revelation where he goes through all the different theories showing the pro's and con's for each theory with scripture.
Keep this in mind when reading revelation:
1> Jesus has already defeated evil
2> Revelation is Gods plan, not satan's
3> God is completely in control
4> We can trust in Gods promises
5> Revelation must be in context with the rest of the Bible.
6> Pray often and use reliable sources for your research.
7> The great commision is just as important as the events in revelation.
I pray God leads you and guides you through this exiciting book.
