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. (Revelation 22:18)
These words are the testimony of Jesus himself for in verse 20 we read, He who testifies to these things says, “Yes, I am coming soon.” And these are serious words with tremendous consequences especially for those who choose not to heed them.
Both inside and outside the Church today we have many who like to add words to the Bible. There are numerous false religions and cults. The Mormons, Jehovah's Witnesses, Muslims, New Ager's etc. have taken the Bible and “updated” it or even replaced it. Others like to use eisegesis techniques to modify the Bible to read according to their own presuppositions or lifestyles, and this is just a way of adding to God's Word. Many justify these actions by bowing down to the latest speculations of atheistic “science.”
But, with the last verse of Revelation, God's Word to us is complete until Jesus comes to this earth again.
