Do you think it will happen as the Bible says it will, or do you think it is a blue print for what could happen if mankind as a whole doesnt recognize and turn from their wicked ways?

Short version.
Christ will come again, take all the believes, the rapture, um...peace will reign thru the middle east, anti christ, mark of the beast, plagues, something something something.

In the new testament the Bible says in the end there will be earthqueakes and floods. There will be wars and rumors of wars. I know that sounds like the front page but that was from the Bible!!!

It will be exactly as it says; less all the irrefutable interpretations to the contrary. I would list the incorrect interpretations on sale today; but there are not enough pixels in the world to do so.
But yes, if God allows you the revelation to read it correctly it is not only a good version but the only version.
I think I see what you are driving at on the "blue print" but the answer is no. Stand back and look at what is said. First it is a culmination of human history and the plan which God began to unfold in Genesis.
There is not one word that points to any thing but an end to time. Time after time a refusal to repent is prophesied. That means repentance is held out and is recognized. You cannot reject something you do not know about.
Judgment is predicated on wickedness. It is also true that man always brings judgment on himself.**
**Despite this self realization there is a judge who can call the game at any point. Since most believe in a god of forces they will not ascribe judgement to God and therefore cannot repent. So Scripture sees them cursing the God of their situation. How do you repent to that?

It depends.
If you think of the literal translation with a futuristic view, then no, I do not. I am of the opinion that Revelation is about the destruction of the temple in 70 AD.
The Bibel says that the world will end someday. Even the most hardcore atheist would agree that eventually the Sun will die out and this world will end. So I think it will come to pass. When? I am not concerned. The horrors of the end times is erserved for non-beleivers, not beleivers. For me and those who beleive as I do, this world is the only hell we will ever know.

I believe so,you see it was all sealed up for the time of the end.A mystery before you all and the end doesn't come to pass not till every word of God is fulfill and comes to pass,the the time is at hand and the mystery of God IS SOON TO BE REVEALED.I am the one who plays the part on page 666 of the Bible and is fulfilling the word of God right before your eyes one who is truly wise and tells no lies.

God didnt reveal it in a warning style manner like he did in the OT. Usually people in the OT had a CHOICE, repent or suffer the consequences. Typically when Israel was faced with destruction they were always reminded of their solution to repent to curtail Gods anger.
But we find no such warning/solution in Revelation. What God has fortold IS inevitable.

No.
I don't believe everything I read. The bible should be used as a guide and not taken literally. It may have been inspired by God, but it was still penned by man.

A Big NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! The Biblical accounts of the future is nonsense. But I do believe that Judgment Day will come, all everyone will be resurrected once more and face God.

Yes, as a believe I do believe what it say's word for word. Otherwise there'd be no purpose in believe in the entire bible.

No it's going to happen, the bible says people will just get more evil in their ways.
