"And anyone with a brain knows the bible is not to be taken literally. The bible has been screwed around with so much it's not even funny." - SECFORT24
I agree wholeheartedly.
And in regards to an attempt to interpret Revelations, one should beware.
22:18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book.
22:19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
(King James Bible, Revelation)
