: On what basis do you claim Revelation to be an allegory? I believe it is a literal prophecy of future events yet to occur in the near future. If I'm right, you lose everything for eternity. If you're right, I lose nothing.

Give me a shout when the seven headed dragon trails the stars from the sky on route to eating the child of the woman in the desert, OK? And when the false beast made of animated mud and the false prophet all arrive let me know, OK?

The only end of the world account that makes any sense is that given in Mark 13 by Jesus, revelation is a combination of allegory and reportive journalism on the Roman empires persecution of Christians, EG 666 = NERO.
