The problem with The Book of Revelation is that it uses violence to defeat evil.
This is in direct contradiction of Jesus who said not to oppose evil but to love your enemies and pray for those who abuse you.
Jesus is the Lamb of God.
A lamb is gentle and tender, even vulnerable.
A lamb is not violent or ferocious like a lion or a tiger.
The message of the lamb is non-violence.
And so Old Testament vengeance and End Times theology are not in keeping with the Lamb of God.
God's Lamb is non-violent.
