Hey, it was all supposed to happen in the '80s, you know, with the EU being the 10-headed beast, or whatever -- just neglect the fact that the EU now has something like 12 members. But, in fact, there was a big hoopla in the 70s, when evangelicals thought that Jesus would return; didn't happen, of course. And, because, the guy is dead!
But, hey, welcome! As for Revelation, no modern scholar takes that seriously. Just go out to Google Play or iTunes, and install the free Audible app. Your first audio book is free, and I would suggest, "New Testament by Professor Bart Ehrman". It's only 12 hours long (24 lectures), and that will get you up to speed on the last century of modern Biblical scholarship.
Lots of scholars take it seriously.
What evangelicals thought Jesus would return in the 70s? Why did they think it? There is no date given that suggests it would happen then. The Bible says we won't know the day.
