I avoid talking about Revelations when the others only want to do it for getting attention or just try to sound like they know everything on the subject.

The same goes for people who are fast at finding the role of OTHERS in Revelation, but don't understand - or they are too narrow minded to reckon - Revelations is Grace; Mercy and Hope from God given to us.
Judgement and wrath belongs to God.
And it's not only found in Revelations but all over in the Bible.

Revelations has been understood and interpret in many ways right from "an uproar against the Roman Empire" through "a GOOD description of the Catholic Church" unto "description of alien from outer space takin over this place". And every thing in between.
And all of it is only worth listening to, when you can't find the switch to turn your brain off and fall asleep.

But reading it as if you never read it before; with an open mind and spirit. Looking for what the Spirit will show you THIS time. THAT'S interesting and that can make my heart and spirit rejoice in God and how incredible mighty He is.

Your Post and comment makes me think of a subject I wrote about at my Blog some time ago: When we start using the expression "Most People ".

I don't need to go and read Revelation for "taking on issues". My inspiration is the Gospels and so on, where I as well can read and understand there will come an end time; it will be horrible for everyone who experience it; God will judge and pay everyone according to his faith and deeds.

At the same time I do find Love, Grace, Mercy and Salvation in Revelation. It's not only limited to e.g the Gospels.
The Gospels tell us to go out with the message of Jesus Christ, and not just sit in our houses with relatives and friends. Discussing what it all might be.

Revelations tells me this world - that I somehow love (I have never tried another one) - will finally come to an end. God is the one in charge of all of it, so don't fear.
It will come to an end - maybe tomorrow - and there are still a lot of people out there who never got a real chance for hearing the Gospel and meet Him who the Gospels and the whole Bible testify.
They are - as we - created in His Image, so they deserve to hear it.

And just like the Gospels, Revelation is not for speculation and assumptions.
Jesus told us to go out in all the world...

- Or maybe they are just honest and thinking "this is WAY over my head, I understand so little of it" - and I think we all should admit we understand so little of it. Studying it hard or not.
And the same people are still honest when they turn to what they understand quite a lot of; they read what builds them up for being what we are called to be: Followers of Christ.

Prove it!

You seem to pick and choose Revelation to be more important to read and get to understand than the rest of the Bible. So I don't think you are doing it any better.

Remember what is said in the end of Revelation about "adding or erasing something"?
Your repeatedly posts on Revelation and crave of attention to Revelation makes me believe you are close to forgetting the importance of the rest of the Bible.

And without the rest of the Bible, Revelation becomes a story of a vindictive uncaring God who doesn't care about His creation: mankind.
