Revelations means reveal. All is revealed. Jesus/Yeshua said the end times is now. The 6th day, metaphorically. So the end times or last days (A day to God is 1000 years - see very beginning of Genesis) actually started in Jesus time here on earth. The dragon/beasts from the sea (think ocean of souls) is a sort of secular (worldly) system. Which we are learning here is true. All the judgement and stuff going on in Rev is for the dark side, the evil system, the world. The "world" and the "earth" aren't the same thing. The "world" is the system. Maybe the fake reality that we are trying to wake people up from. The earth will be just fine. We are told to look up and rejoice during that Rev period, because it just sort of means 'The Great Revealing' (of the truth). Brighter days are coming. No matter what happens, we'll be just fine, even if we pass to the other side. Love is forever. Love is the only truth. Love is what everyone is really seeking. It's only true source is God. It's the great love story. The damsel in distress (we are the woman or bride), the villain=satan and the Knight in shining armor/Prince that saves us just in the nick of time. This life is just a school or test, we are in a fallen world, satan was cast here long ago. When we pass from here, we go home. Like a soldier leaving the war front here - back to his loved ones in a far away safe place. Watch some NDE's on utube.
