      • If some if false, some of the Revelation may still be true
    • Grace
      • God gives grace to record and report it with full accuracy

      • Demons can get in the middle and realize where things are headed
      • And, pass it along
    • Revelations containing curious or useless matters can be interpreted as not necessarily divine
      • If they are getting involved in things that has no impact on people’s salvation, then one knows that is likely not the case
