Nicholas, this website is one of the best I've come across on Revelation: http://revelationtimelinedecoded.com/ Read the introduction first and then scroll down for detailed analysis of the scripture on the right-hand side of the page.
I know how you like youtube videos, here is an excellent series on Daniel's 70 week Prophecy:

Both sources show the lie of futuristic dispensationalism that was introduced first by John Darby then later Scofield who marketed this teaching. The apostles' teachings completely and utterly reject it.
SweetPea;
Yes.
Much of Revalation is couched in apocalyptic language - but deals, not in far flung future events - which will, of course, include Christ's return, but in the events facing the Church in late first century Asia Minor.
That does not negate its' value as scripture, nor, indeed, prophesy - after all a prophet was not some mystic Meg who foretold the future, but someone used by God who spoke the truth.
I well remember the Good News Bible books being sold as separate individual pocket sized paperbacks. Revelation took up fifty pages.
Underneath it, by coincidence - or not - were several tomes on the book, each of several hundred pages, and the largest of over six hundred.
It's an immensly complex book, and only a great immersion in first century history, a good knowledge of similar works of the time, and a working knowledge of Scriptural apocalyptic books w
helps a real interpretation.
I barely scratch the surface, even when I use Revelation when preaching - as I have done.
To conflate Revelation with modern science, and throw in a corrupt translation to boot, does not do justice to the book.
Maranatha!
