This is just what I see from a plain reading of revelation, as far as the “end of the world” goes.
As for “getting biblical” that’s just a figure of speech people use. It is not in the Bible.
Revelation was about the destruction of Jerusalem and the temple in 70 A.D. not the world.
If it was about the world why would God tell people to flee to the mountains to avoid it (which is what Christians at the time did when Rome came and they survived)
If it is only by the destruction of Jerusalem in AD 70, why does it talk about the resurrection of the dead and the final judgement then?

Q says it will be biblical and several of Trump's lawyers have repeated the phrase.
Yes, they were the OG datefags.

Indeed. If you read the Bible you will discover that Christianity is really a doomsday cult that has been dragging on for 2000 years now. They were writing like this shit was going to happen at any moment, not (at the very least) thousands of years later.
Not quite 2000, the guy people call Jesus (not His real name) died 300 years or so before Christianity was cooked up.. The books were compiled out of order and carefully curated as to only support the chosen narrative. Having spent 37 years as a prisoner of the Church and its indoctrination, it's easy to see why people get confused with the timeline, since Christians keep Him perpetually on the cross.. Only time they let Him down is around Christmas (not His real birthday), and then it's back up on the cross until Easter when he gets a 3 day rest.
This is false, St. Mark the Evangelist is who founded the Coptic Orthodox Church while he wasn't one of the 12 he was one of the 70, Christianity didn't start "300" years after Christ's death. I don't know what "church" you spent 37 years prisoner of but it wasn't the Church and you seem to not know a whole lot about Christianity.
The ignorant (or malicious) often claim that the Bible has been altered/corrupted over time, or that the canon selected at the Council of Nicaea was not representative of scriptures in common use and circulation in the churches. And those who are uneducated on the matter always fall for it.
But in fact the fidelity of the New Testament texts rests on a vast multitude of evidence, including thousands of complete manuscripts and tens of thousands of fragments, some dating back as early as the first and second centuries. Contrast this with ANY other ancient text to see the vast gulf between them. There is no other ancient text that is better verified than the New Testament.
We know that no substantive changes were made after the fact because copies were already circulating in the early churches -- it was too late at that point to introduce any changes. That is why the book of Acts (a history of the early church) fails to record the death of Paul. It was too late to add new changes by the time of his death in AD 62.
And we know Luke must have been written before that since Acts is a sequel to Luke. And we know Mark must have been written before that since Luke contains a nearly complete copy of the text of Mark. And we know that the pre-Markan passion narrative must have been written before that.
Christ was real, and he was executed for his Messianic claims. Consider the crown of thorns, the reed, the purple cloak, the soldiers bowing down to him mockingly, the "King of the Jews" sign above the cross, the polemic where Pharisees complained to Pilate about the sign, and he replied "What I have written, I have written." Christ claimed to be God and was executed for it. A few weeks later, thousands believed he was risen from the dead and worshiped him as God, in the same city where he was executed. Over the next few centuries the Greeks and Romans entirely discarded their pagan gods, which became mythology, and Western Civilization was born.
