"The Vatican" has no official interpretation of Revelation or any other book of the Bible. What interpretations we do have have been passed down from the early Church Fathers who immediately followed the Apostles and wrote extensively on the Sacred Scriptures.

Then that leaves you with nothing more than YOUR own fallible personal interpretation of the Bible.

Alleged word of mouth teaching allegedly passed down faithfully for 2,000 years that are allegedly from the early church fathers, who allegedly got them from the apostles, means nothing.

Your whole Bible interpretation house of cards is built on speculation and hearsay.

LOL. It's not "alleged" if it has been set down in writing for 2000 years. With a minimal effort, an openminded person can find it easily on the internet where it's there for all to see. Even Martin Luther and the "Reformers" had recourse to them and cited them frequently.

LOL. I haven't offered any interpretation at all, let alone my "whole Bible interpretation"!

As I look at the state of the World today I often long for the End Times. Then a family walks by with little children and I instead pray..”Dear LORD, Give them a chance to make a decision for you. Amen.”

Amos 5: 18Woe to you who long for the Day of the LORD! What will the Day of the LORD be for you? It will be darkness and not light. 19It will be like a man who flees from a lion, only to encounter a bear, or who enters his house and rests his hand against the wall, only to be bitten by a snake.
20Will not the Day of the LORD be darkness and not light, even gloom with no brightness in it?
