I may or may not believe in Universalism, not saying one way or the other at all, but I will say that I think the Bible uses overly harsh, apocalyptic language for actual events that occur. Such that these events may cause people to stress about them more than they should. Which is much more my stance on the subject.
How I base this is that if I believe some Revelation events have already occured... well, history can be brutal, but the descriptions in Revelation I would, no offense, find more brutal still.
And even not, the prophecies of Jesus were pretty ominous, they made people have an urge to repent if they read or heard them, but we all know that Jesus coming was a much-needed thing and he preached a message of (mostly) peace.
