Not sure how to respond considering that all the comments I've read is just a discussion about who has the best interpretation of Revelation. I'm a Christian, not a biblical scholar. I only can speak of what I've read in that marvelous book. But, let's face facts. How long have we been fighting these evil monsters on earth? Since the Garden of Eden. Should have cut the head off then, but anyways. In modern times, these people have changed the meanings and perverted history so much, we basically all agree we've been lied to in modern history. Agree? Ok. So what's to say that these same people, long ago, who supposedly interpreted the writings from Hebrew or whatever language, doesn't matter, correctly? Or just like modern history, which we know to be false for the most part, has been changed to suit the belief of the people doing the interpretation? After all, if you canbread the ancient language of the dead sea scrolls, why did they need interpreted? So if a common man of earth, no matter how smart or educated they are, didn't like what was originally written, or didn't interpret it as well as we think, wrote what he thought it said, or put his own spin on the idea, it can be wrong. I disagree about Revelation being cyclical. The end is the end. There is no reset button. It's not a video game. Just my two cents. I've never believed the full text of the Bible, based on the fact that the text was lost, found, interpreted, interpreted again, and has been at risk of misinterpretation from the beginning of the 1st interpretation. Believing that you are reading the Bible chapters as written in modern day, is the basis of Faith. Unless you speak and read the ancient language fluently and have the scrolls in your possession, it's still an interpretation of what was written. But, I'm a crazy person. Dont listen to me! Lol
