In your opinion, how significant are the additions and changes that Joseph Smith made to the Book of the Revelation when he fashioned his JS Translation of the King James Bible, from King James English, into King James English?

My JST has no reference to the Book of Revelation. The JST is used as reference material. The significance is in the eye of the reader.

Hmmm, not sure why your copy of the JS translation of the King James Version of the Bible into King James English has a missing Book of the Revelation of John, but so be it.

The fact that that particular book has a curse on any who would add to or take away from it ought to tell Mormons something about Joseph Smith's precarious position before God. He would be in imminent danger, according to the words found in the Book of the Revelation. It would also be yet another example of the inanity of believing JS was a man approved of God when Smith continued to supply contradictions to God's Word. [Is the Mormon god so feckless that he cannot inspire JS to make the complete and proper corrections to the Bible, so folks could no longer claim 'as far as it is translated correctly'?]

Probably since you are using the sanitized version published by the lds and not the IV published by the RLDS. The facts are that smith added and subtracted from the Book of Revelation.
