God wins.
I don't read Revelation as an end times book.
I read Revelation as a real time spiritual drama.
Jesus Christ is conquering in our lives, Jesus Christ is making us conquerors with Him.
We defeat Babylon in our own lives.
Q is compatible with this interpretation of Revelation.
We are seeing a real time judgment of Babylon in the physical world.
This is exciting, it goes along with Romans 8 as well where the whole creation is delivered from the bondage of corruption.
Romans 8:21 Because the creation itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.

Revelation 22:18-19 contains a warning to anyone who tampers with the biblical text: “For I testify together to everyone who hears the Words of the prophecy of this Book: If anyone adds to these things, God will add on him the plagues that have been written in this Book. And if anyone takes away from the Words of the Book of this prophecy, God will take away his part out of the Book of Life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which have been written in this Book.”
This warning is given specifically to those who distort the message of the Book of Revelation. Jesus Himself is the Author of Revelation and the giver of the vision to the apostle John (Revelation 1:1). As such, He concludes the book with a confirmation of His testimony to the finality of the prophecies contained in Revelation. These are His words, and He warns against distorting them in any way, whether through additions, subtractions, falsifications, alterations, or intentional misinterpretations. The warning is explicit and dire. The plagues of Revelation will be visited upon anyone guilty of tampering in any way with the revelations in the book, and those who dare to do so will have no part in eternal life in heaven.

I follow only Jesus Christ and our father by the Holy Spirit.
The spiritual interpretation is the oldest interpretation. All of Revelation is a constant spiritual reality in the saints, in the church, in the world.
Just because you have never heard this message does not make it wrong.
There are five historical interpretation methods of Revelation.
Preterist
Historical
Futurist
Idealist
The idealist method is also known as the spiritual method.
Welcome to the spiritual understanding of the Revelation of Jesus Christ.
Here's some reading for you:

The idealist method is also known as the spiritual interpretation. I think the spiritual interpretation of Revelation might be the most important word of God for our time.
I read your suggested reading. You appear deeply imbedded into your doctrine about it. That's not a criticism - You have put in effort and time into studying it. So I'm not going to get into a lengthy debate about the particulars. I'm not qualified spiritually or intellectually. I would only suggest you examine all that you wrote and ask yourself this very simple question - Did I or the material that I gathered these teachings from add to or take away from the revelation that Christ gave to John? If you're good with all of that, then I am also good. My intention of posting the warning was primarily for anyone reading your comments so that they would be aware of the warning.
Thanks freind.
I do enjoy input in my threads on Revelation. It's a touchy subject in the body of Christ.
I've started a thread for debate on the issue so I'm not constantly causing contention in threads that are relevant.
Here's the debate thread.
