"The Bible" as we know it did not exist at the time of the composition of the Book of Revelation.

Thank you for providing the explanation.

You're welcome!

"Revelation" would have been circulated as a single book (scroll or codex, depending on where it was copied) and eventually included in various collections of Christian writings, before the canon was finalized by the Council of Carthage.

The chance that the references to adding or deleting had anything to do with modern compilations of the Old Testament would be ... well, not zero, but pretty close!
