Buck himself had talked to Mathews. His view, echoed dozens of times, was that the book of Revelation was “wonderful, archaic, beautiful literature, to be taken symbolically, figuratively, metaphorically.
I guess this is an attempt to skewer real-life Christians who don’t take the literal interpretation of Revelation. Sort of like LaHaye and Jenkins saying, “See! Look how your arguments sound, now that they’re in the mouth of an evil Pope. Aren’t they ridiculous?”
