The book of Revelation is full of things that can only be understood in modern terms.
John must have been freaking out when he saw what was coming but only had his own “primitive” utterly low tech paradigm to describe it all.
I can’t imagine.
thats a good point. Probably why some of the verses sound clunky. I need to go back and read some of Revelations again, or find a good book on it’s breakdown.
I only know splatters of it from sitting in a fire and brimstone Pentecostal church for a few years.
