Orthodox theologians argue that people should avoid reading “Revelations” directly until they have become experts in the rest of the scriptures.
Given how 🦇 -💩 crazy too many interpretations have been since Gutenberg, I am inclined to see their point. The Mystery described therein can overwhelm the common mind, especially if they fail to grasp what it has to do with the Davidic promises, which requires particular studying of the “Book of Kings”.
That said, your language’s ability to conceptualize “Logos” as “God’s Tao” gives you the same metaphysical advantage as the original Greek, what English and western Europe’s languages have been very week at. “the WORD of God” is SO lame a translation by comparison.
