Read rev as if you are in the 1st century seeing the future. what do you see? How do you describe it? The way it is described to me in that sense, sometimes I see that it is, in part, an inanimate object that is "breathed" to life, has power over all technology and commands it be worshipped. Like possessed AI (I know that sounds weird but yesterdays science fiction is tomorrows reality.) GO's 1984 is case in point.
It speaks great blasphemies. It causes fire to come down form the heavens in the sight of men, etc. What does this mean? Laser beams? What did John see? Think outside the box.
“It speaks great blasphemies.”
HR 6666 comes to mind...
