It sounds like you give Revelation your own words. That is dangerous. I have read the book of Revelation hundreds of times, and will continue to read it everyday for the rest if my life. I also read daily the rest if the 65 books of the Bible (in sections) without failure because it we don't understand the first 65 books of the Bible, how in the world can we assume we will be able to understand Revelation? God is God of order, design, specificity, plan and purpose. I take the word of God very seriously, therefore when I explain scripture, I know what I’m talking about. What is dangerous is not knowing how to read a book according to its correct genre. One cannot read an apocalyptic book the same way one reads a novel. We must understand clues, idiomatic expressions, metaphors, symbolism, and cultural expressions that are unique to the Hebrew mindset. Most people have paid more attention yo what the “experts” have to say about Revelation than actually reading the book themselves. This is because some Christians believe “it's too difficult” to even bother reading it. By the way, I don't claim I know it all because I don't and no one does either, but at least I have begun to ask the Holy Spirit to teach me about the book He, Himself inspired John to write.
