Preach it Brother! Let’s all agree that Jesus is the same wherever you meet Him. Nobody has exclusive access, whatever they might claim.
The Apocalypse was written for a Christian contemporary audience around 90 AD. What it meant to them isn’t what it’s construed to mean to moderns. There’s nothing about Russia or China in it.
For Protestants who are interested in finding what it’s really about I’d suggest Dr Michael Heiser’s work widely available on YouTube. He was an ancient biblical languages expert, all of them. He’s got some great perspectives on the texts and what they meant to their contemporary audience, which is very unlike our modern point of view.
For the “traditionalists” try the series of homilies by Archimandrite Athanasius Mitilinaios. He goes through it word by word verse by verse and explains the layers of meaning.
Unless you’re a Freemason in which case you’ll be insulted, so best to just avoid it. J/K but he’s mercilessly critical of them.
Enemies of God and man, he asserts.
I guess he ought to know.

Coincidentally I was just going through some content by Heiser https://www.ancientaliensdebunked.com/ https://drmsh.com/exposing-the-work-of-zecharia-sitchin-part-1-elohim-in-the-hebrew-bible/ by way of critiquing the Alien/Elohim/Annunaki interpretation of the Old Testament espoused by Zecharia Sitchin, Mauro Biglino, and Clif High.
He wrote some interesting novels too.
Underground bases, UFOs, black hats/white hats, rescuing trafficked children, that sort of thing.
Cliff High is entertaining, but not a 'know all'.
