Well, only if you try to make sense out of it. It's like Don Quixote trying to make sense out of chivalry books. Jesus was Quixotic in his quest to fix the world. There are solutions, but no fixing of the world.
Wait, everything is fixed in paradise. See, that's a crazy thought.

The Bible humbles all.
The Bible is the most difficult book in the world. And the Greek translators didn't help it either.

"I love the book of Revelation, it's my favorite, I don't understand all of it, but the more I study it, the more I understand. Maybe we should focus more on what we do understand than what we don't."

See, everybody leaves out the stuff they don't understand, which is most of the Bible.

No you won't.
Once you grip the fact that everything has to be interpreted in accordance to the clear-cut teachings, everything makes sense. Just like everything you say has to be interpreted according to you general message.
I think people better NOT believe these messages:

(God prepares the locusts to attack)

And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads. And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man. And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them. (KJV 9:4-6)

LOGICAL INTERPRETATION:

Nice. God lets the locusts torture people but not kill them (even though they're dreaming of death). Do the people notice that Christians aren't being tormented? Why aren't they jumping on that bandwagon?

So it seems God uses locusts in his mighty army! I wonder why he doesn't throw the mosquitoes as well on the infidels. Should you have mosquito repellent in expectation of Apocalypse?
