When my teacher said that you can take everything in the Bible seriously, I asked him about Revelations. He told me that at the time Revelations was written by John, it was at the terrible reign of Nero, who forbid the writing, distribution, etc. of Bibles, and as retaliation, John wrote Revelations to tell everyone about Nero's evil deeds in metaphorical sentences. I believe this, because in later chapters, John mentions the 144,000 sealed, and there are many more Christians than that, and even if they do not follow the 10 Commandments strictly, they are good, honest people. If anyone thinks I am horribly wrong, can you blame me? I'm a 12-year-old kid!
