I've extensively studied Revelation from a theistic point of belief, and yes, it does. The bible speaks of horrible tortures for humanity and doesn't schedule the rapture until that's already started. Furthermore, god only saves a fistful of Jews in that story; everyone else burns. Some think that the "multitude in white robes" represents Christians, but others think those are angels. Both claims are speculation, obviously, and the point is that when Jesus comes back, most of humanity is supposedly fucked by locust-lion-scorpion-human monsters.

Yeah, I don't take Revelations as literal gospel truth. If you want a more Catholic belief in regards to the second coming of Christ, take a look at chapter 2 article 7 in the Catechism. Smile

EDIT TO ADD: The Catechism can be difficult to read, another great source that breaks it down is this link here: https://www.ewtn.com/faith/teachings/judga2.htm .... feel free to check it out if you want a more thorough understanding of what Catholics believe in regards to the second coming.)
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
