    Most of the shit in Revelations is about the Roman Empire. It doesn't have anything to do with whores or dragons, those are just memes you don't understand because you weren't on 4Chan in 200ad.

    this made me laugh hard

      It's almost literally true. There was this whole thing about having prophetic and relevatory dreams, and there was a whole set of coded language used to talk about that, and combined with some prophecies and cultural stories and stuff, if you moved in those circles Revelations would make a lot more sense because you understood all the memes and metaphors and cultural references. Iirc it mostly translates to "Nero is a fucking asshole and God is definitely going to kick his ass any day now". It's like the Punished Bernie meme circa 200ad. Imagine what the someone in 4100 ad is going to think about this shit

        Yeah when revelations talks about a beast with seven heads and the seven hills, it's refering to Rome. And specifically making references to currency/coins with the seven hills on it, and with Nero on it.

        It would be like modern day leftists joking about "in God we trust" and illuminati being on the US dollar.
