As previously stated, the only one who can have any
real understanding of the
Revelation of John is someone who has
personally received both the Vision of the "Son of man" and the Revelation of the Memory of Creation. But that also pertains to the over-all
significance of the
Revelation of John. Thus, any attempts to 'test' the
Revelation of John for its Truth originate in the thoughts of either the "beast of the sea" consciousness of the "self" or the "beast of the earth" consciousness of the 'thinker'--
both of which are, in and of themselves, aspects of the 'fallen' consciousness which has, in effect, created
itself rather than being Created 'by and in the image of God'.

This ignores the direct connection between the
Revelation of John and Sura 27:82 of the
Koran's mention of the "beast of the earth"--thus establishing the continuity of the Revelations received by Jesus and Mohammed; which, if widely publicized, would
sharply diminish the potential for violence between Christians and Muslims; but which would probably, on the other hand, impoverish many thousands of both Christian and Muslim religious 'authorities'.
And so, rather than suffering such a 'terrible' fate, these religious 'authorities' prefer to
continue to lie--thereby, however, pushing this civilization towards horrors far beyond their most horrific nightmares.
