Well, since you've already determined that I don't have a Bible, your direction that I read Revelations 6-14 seems odd.

I'm certainly not mocking the Bible, or God's Word period. I am mocking the idea that your interpretation of Revelations as applying to "transhumanism", gene/cell therapy, or AI should be taken seriously. You're not a prophet, you aren't John, and you certainly aren't God. So why should I credit your interpretation of Scripture -- especially when you're applying it to very advanced technology with no Biblical analog -- over anyone else's?

You can fit those words in Revelations into almost any modern bit of technology, assert that to be true, and nobody can prove you wrong precisely because it is impossible for us to know what bit of modern technology -- if that was it at all -- was meant. It also becomes a means of arguing any particular crackpot theory as being "prophesized", and therefore impossible to prove or disprove.

So, no thanks. Applying the Book of Revelation and God's Word to a particular piece of modern technology is the last refuge of scoundrels who have no other argument.

Not surprisingly you missed the point! I am saying that there is a sort of shelf life for the NON TRANSHUMANISM prophecies since technology is rapidly apprtoaching these developments.

BTW, you can access several translations of the Bible on the Internet. Give it a try ... Hebrew 4:12 The Word of God is more powerful than any two-edged sword, able to separate soul and spirit, joint and marrow

You are mocking your own strawman: “I am mocking the idea that your interpretation of Revelations as applying to “transhumanism”. ... I am asserting the opposite of your false characterization.
