Do Christians really believe this?
The Book of Revelation describes an apocalyptic sequence of events that will supposedly mark the end of the world and the final judgment of humanity. The key events are:
Jesus appears in a vision to John, dictating letters to seven churches, warning them to stay faithful.
The Seven Seals are broken, unleashing conquest, war, famine, death, cosmic disasters, and silence before further destruction.
The Seven Trumpets sound, causing hail and fire to burn the earth, a mountain to fall into the sea turning it to blood, a star (Wormwood) to poison the waters, the sun and moon to darken, a demonic locust plague to torture non-believers, and the release of four fallen angels to kill a third of humanity.
Satan, depicted as a great dragon, is cast down to Earth, enraged and seeking to destroy believers.
The Beast (Antichrist) rises to power, enforcing a global system where no one can buy or sell without the Mark of the Beast (666).
Seven Bowls of God’s Wrath are poured out, causing painful sores, the sea and rivers turning to blood, scorching heat, darkness, massive earthquakes, and the complete destruction of cities.
The Second Coming of Christ occurs, with Jesus returning on a white horse, striking down the armies of the Antichrist, and throwing the Beast and False Prophet into the Lake of Fire.
Satan is imprisoned for 1,000 years, then released briefly to deceive the nations before being defeated and cast into the Lake of Fire permanently.
The Final Judgment takes place, where everyone not found in the Book of Life is condemned to eternal punishment.
A New Heaven and New Earth are created, where God dwells with the saved, with no suffering or death ever again.
Do modern Christians still believe this literally, or is it taken as symbolism?
