No, you're in the right place.  However, there is no 'sexier' subject in all of christendom (except how tithing brings you physical wealth, maybe) than end-times prophecy (which brings a fair number of preachers wealth).

Start with the Lake of Fire series and continue.  If that doesn't help, the forum certainly can't.

Thanks Dave .I've read all of that and unfortunately other folks also/I meant is the literal 7 year  tribulation with Satan being incarnate into the Antichrist and and the whole mythical drama even discussed as a  remote possibility of reality.Isn't that like wondering if God is going to fry people or slow cook them for eternity.. 

Dave in Tenn:
Rex, I can only answer that it is for me...the mythical drama so ingrained even in the culture is similar to (but not equally evil) as a belief in eternal torment.

All these things take a lifetime.  We’re going to live "the seals."  A third part of the man died... that’s a third part of the man in us that is going to die, a third part of the carnality.  God works in increments, He wipes out some of the trees and then He burns some of the grass… what is the trees and the grass?  These are all things in us. We have islands, and mountains, and trees, and grass. All of these are belief systems and ideas and doctrines and philosophies of life and all these things. And they are all going to be burned out and broken down and destroyed. All of those seven seals, seven trumpets, seven plagues, they are all things that must happen in our lives.

You say, 'Well I don’t remember any trees being burned down.'  First of all, you won’t even know some of it is happening until it’s over.  Some of you will remember, I have this in my Lake of Fire Series: “And I was in the spirit on the Lord’s Day and I heard a voice BEHIND me as the voice of a trumpet and I turned to see the voice that spoke to me and being turned I saw…”  You won’t see some of these things until they are behind you.  You’re going to have to look behind you to see where you came from, to see where God has been taking you.  Some of us wouldn’t want to live tomorrow if we knew what was coming, you know.  Be thankful that you don’t know everything that’s coming.  Be thankful that you only have to take one day at a time.  You don’t want to know what every day has to hold.  Take it one day at a time as God presents it to you.

And there will come a time, when you can look behind you, as I can, and see where God’s been taking you all these years.  You’ll see it plain as day. I could sit here for hours and tell you all about it.  I can tell you about trees and grass and mountains coming down, I know what it means.  It’s all one, all this stuff.  Are you getting it?  It’s all one thing.  Whether you believe on Christ or enter the door of Christ or call upon the name of Christ or accept His grace through the faith of Christ, it’s all one thing.  It’s all Christ coming to you, living His life in you!

Yes Dave I was just expressing my surprise that Revelation was being approached as a literal enactment of a global catastrophic events  and then addressed by responses as if that was true.

I agree ALL of Revelation is signified and none of it is literal events or people in any sense.It is simply(and infinitely complex) the "unveiling" of Gods salvation (Yahshua).

Deborah,

That excerpt you pulled out reminds me of that saying, Hindsight is 20/20 vision.
