also agreed, I just think that things such as what's presented on 700 Club etc are dangerous embellishments of the fact.
Regarding Revelations, I have heard more than once (but not looked into it to any significant degree) speculation that it is more of a cryptic book referencing the Roman Empire. Considering it was written at a time when Christianity was persecuted, that's very possible, and in which case, it would not be a book necesasrily about the "end times" at all.
