"I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds anything to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book. And if anyone takes words away from this book of prophecy, God will take away from him his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book."
~ Revelation 22:18-19
A curious thought occured to me when I read this last night. I thought of the Left Behind book series, which is a fictional account of the second coming and all the things that happen in Revelation. I wonder what exactly John means by adding and taking words away. I'm pretty sure the authors of the LB books were not right about a whole bunch of stuff. As fiction authors, they added this and weren't sure about that. But then it is only meant to be fiction. Though I wonder if making fiction of it is taking the prophecy too lightly.
Any thoughts?
