I submitted an article to my
editor and she changed some words in order to, in her mind, make it more clear.
However, rather than clarifying, her edits changed the meaning of a couple of
statements. I now have a whole new appreciation for keeping a text as it is
written and not allowing modern day editors, commemorators and biblical experts
clarify the Word of God. Of Revelation the Apostle John said, “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” (Rev 22:18-19 NIV).
