Ooga, booga? Shades of paganism? Mother of harlots? Hmmmm. The Book of Revelation is the most abused book of the Christian Bible. Many false prophets have used it for their own purposes.

I’m just saying... everybody wants to “see Jesus” on a piece of toast... the end of a piece of firewood... in the pattern made on the surface of their bowl of soup....etc. What’s the basis for such a claim about Mary? What’s the epistemology? John’s Revelation is far from being the most “abused” book. Most people use “applicable sections” throughout to suit themselves, and simply omit/ignore the parts they don’t “like”, understand, or which don’t “suit” them.

I think it is fair to say that the Book of Revelation is easily misunderstood and occasionally used for selfish, non-Scriptural, even nefarious, purposes.

But you disregard its profound importance at your own risk. And if you spread that disregard (and disrespect) to others, you compound that risk.
