Should we really assume the reporter is trying to assemble some sort of junk clickbait story?

If the events being described by the poster John were actually happening,  stepping outside and pointing a camera pretty much anywhere would be the much better story, rather than re-tweeting someone's description.

I would like to suggest to leave the explanation at its current 4 lines, since it is complete. --162.158.88.49 05:48, 7 September 2021 (UTC)

I'm not sure the current explanation, that the newscaster believed the biblical quote by mistake, is necessarily the correct one. The way I read this, as someday it should happen that the events described in Revelation REALLY DO START TO OCCUR, there will still be newsies who entirely miss the point, and keep producing random oblivious clickbait stories by 'interviewing' random twitter users. Alternately, if modern-day newscasters traveled back in time, to when the original Revelation was actually recieved and written, the same oblivious quoting without context could also occur. 172.70.178.97 07:42, 7 September 2021 (UTC)

I agree.1337-PI (talk) 09:25, 7 September 2021 (UTC)

My interpretation was suppose Twitter was available during biblical times, and the author of the Book of Revelation chose to release his writings in that media vs. as a book. 172.70.178.149 11:29, 7 September 2021 (UTC)Pat

I was going to write the same thing. "What if in biblical times there were twitter, broadcast news, etc.?" Rps (talk) 12:07, 7 September 2021 (UTC)
