You seem to have missed the principle of dual fulfillment.

And there is the admonition against adding words to Scripture; never mind the antisemitic context you attempt it in.

DUAL FULFILLMENT

There are possible dual fulfillments in the Old Testament. For example, the Jews’ restoration to their homeland after the Babylonian exile could be seen as finally fulfilled in Jesus. But there is nothing like that in the New Testament. Everything in the Bible points to Jesus and his first-century work. If you have some examples of where it is stated or implied that some biblical prophecy would be fulfilled in the fist century and then again thousands of years in the future, let’s see them.

Technically that admonition at the end of the book of Revelation is pertinent to and relevant to only the book of the Revelation, not to the entire collection of 73 books that is the Bible.
