The Apocalypse, aka the Book of Revelation, IS the Revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ. Its the same thing.

Jesus view is He wants everyone to accept him as their Savior and then He wants to take us home with Him in heaven.
Apocalyptic view is that there will be a WW that will destroy the world and everyone in it. Maybe even nuclear war.

well...you need to read several books in the bible..because it was not only Jesus although he was the first to mention ...3 times...another words 3 events ...that was asked of him the destruction of the temple...the signs of his coming and the end of the world.
so Jesus had alot to answer of the things that were going to lead up to the end.
So He outlines them...and other writers like Paul mentions and referances what Jesus spoke in 3 places 1 Corinthians 15th chap 52nd verse shows a miracle time ..how that we shall be changed...in a very significant time ..the sounding of a trumpet...and not just any trumpet..but the last trumpet.
Again Paul mentions in 1 thessalonians 4 of this miracle time where the dead in Christ are going to rise at the sound of the trumpet and the rest alive will be caught up...but then comes back to them in 2 thessalonians to re-assure them that this time is not coming until there is a great falling away and the son of perdition be revealed...also corresponding with Jesus because Jesus spoke of a time of great trouble..
And finally one last writer puts everything in the order in which Jesus spoke and that was John in Revelations..who from the 5th to the 11th chap outlined exactly and to the letter what Jesus said right up until the sounding of the trumpets and in the last trumpet the gathering of the people of God....all 3 writers wrote the same of the end times we live in...Now when you ask yourself when did we exactly begin the end times??
Remember back in the book of Acts 2 chapter??...well when Peter stood up and told them of a fulfilled prophecy...he used these words...from 16 through 17...
16. But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel;
17. And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:
So we have been living in the last days since the book of Acts...doesn't leave a whole lotta time ...but remember .be ready for come what may..Gods word is sure..and every jot and tittle will come to pass...God bless

If you mean the "Revelation" view. . that IS Jesus' view!!
In fact, the name of the book is actually "The Revelation of Jesus Christ" . .
(it was GIVEN to John to write down, but it is Jesus' revelation to those generations later to come, albeit a bit cryptic)

every generation convinces itself it is living in the end times; nobody wants to admit that they are going to live, die, be forgotten, and generally miss out on the great big important *****-slap fest everyone gets promised.
dont buy it. we arent living in ther end times. the people in the past all thought they were living in the end times. any idiot can twist passages around to justify making their life more important and giving themselves a soapbox to preach on, but the truth is, you will die and the world will go on and we will eventually just be forgotten.

Jesus's view is actually that of the mythology and religions that superceded the Bible and Christianity hundreds of years later.. The Old Testament is essentially the Torah.. which came from thousands of years prior... Zoroastrianism.. the Babalonian myths, the Egyptians, etc... The New testament is just writings edited by the Catholic Church over hundreds..thousands of years.. first actualy "printed" as the King James bible in the 1600's..
Let me start by stating I was raised in Methodist/Protestant church.. EVERY Sunday.. reading from the alter and helping in all services.. until I was 18. Then I married into a Catholic family.. with a Deacon Father.. (that was a real joke getting that inside scoop.. talk about denial ..being hypocrates..?sp..).. since then.. I've read all philosophers.. all religious texts.. all prior major world mythology, major psychology/psychiatry texts, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, paleontology, cosmology/astronomy, etc...
to make my own conclusions which are without a doubt facts to me.
ANYWAY..: Well.. were to start... the answer is as simple as essentially the history of religion.. how it evolved simply from Mythology to formal theology.. from the explanation of many unknowns with many gods (sun, rain, moon...20K-50K+ yrs ago..which is shown with archeology) which over time were peeled back from Paganism to Monotheism.. Christianity being one of the most dominant forms.. with the help of the Romans ac cross Europe.. converting Celtics, Normans, and others by turning their local gods into "Saints".. and then of course the Crusades and Inquisitions... Missionaries.. essentially forcing it upon the majority of the world with the help of the Spanish Conquistadors among others... killing out all the varied religions that dominated the world from the Far East to the Far West. and everywhere in between... displacing beautiful cultures and lifestyles.. (Native Americans, African tribal cultures, etc.. etc..) with Forced labor (Slavery) alcoholism, etc...
The majority of the world is religious by default in that the CAN'T UNDERSTAND the world around us.. they don't have any BASIC UNDERSTANDING of physics, biology, evolution, probability / statistics, chemistry, astronomy, etc.... Without the understanding.. the greatest FEAR that humans have is the FEAR of THE UNKNOWN... aka.. the defense mechanism of the psyche is denial by default.. so that their "foundation of existence" isn't displaced.. It is soo.. sooooo.. seemless and beautifull in that fossil evidence, DNA sampling, the study of the cosmos, etc.. etc.. ALL points to the simple fact that everything evolves/changes... and that EVERYTHING on earth that's not LIFE or Molecular Minerals... is MAN MADE and evolves (mythology, religion, language, culture, laws/rules, definition of Good/Bad, clothing, shelter, tools, barter/money/economics, etc.. etc...). Crack open ANY college biology book and you'll now see clear explanations that life evolved from essential basic molecular structurs (proteins..amino acids..) to RNA .. to DNA.. to Single Celled and Multicelluar organisms.. to plants.. to animals.. to vertibrates.. to fish.. to amphibians.. to reptiles.. to Mamals.. to Primates .. to US (Humans are Primates and Mamals.. we are all ANIMALS.. get over the denial !!!!).
Education of the world.. and "open Minded" cultures.. accepting and not repressing the truth.. will eventually turn the tide.. but for now... the minority are the ones that know the truth and know that the ONLY God that there exists is the one we invent and evolve in our consciousness... along with how we attempt to explain the world around us.. though most of it's entirely out of our control.. via random events and chaos theory dominating the world...
It's funny that most baptize their children under peer pressure of culture/society's acceptance.. as well as appeazing that of the relatives / parents wishes... vs. not being affraid to have an open mind and ask "WHY" once and a while.. and making decisions for themselves.. instead of being led.
The only destiny we have is the one that we carve via the decisions that we make (or dont make) and the actions that we take (or don't take)... God.. the big "man floating around the cosmos".. is as much a mass dillusion.. synonymous with Santa Clause, the tooth fairy, the boogy man... mother earth, fairy's... and on and on... Ways to control populations with cause/effect fear/reward systems.. as well as a simple "blanket answer" to explain ALL the worlds unknowns.. for the feeble minded masses.. as simply explained as "ignorance is bliss"... the drooling masses might be happy suckin on their thumbs and being told to eat and sleep and pay taxes.. simply .. most are followers.. not free thinkers.. unable to handle the truth without first laying that foundation of understanding.
The same can be said of wars.. most go back to fundamental issues.. my god is better than my god.. I'll get more virgins and whirly gigs than you will in the end.... which is all soooo funny. The end is when each of us decays and our molecules get recycled into other lifeforms... as how all the metals in the solar system came from internals of stars.. billions of years ago.. and someday in ~4+ billion years.. this solar system will be recycled.. as galaxies are and now found.. likely infinite arrays of universes as string theory and m-theory is showing...
