I don't believe anyone can understand what the book of revelation means. We have 1000's of ministries all claiming to understand what it means and they have different understandings. How can that be and the meanings of the book be understood?
So, if no one understands what it means then how can you add or subtract to it when there is no understanding? They are all guesses. And the guesses in most cases are big businesses.
Since the canon of scripture was not yet established at the time Revelation was written, it would follow that the warning in revelation referred only to that particular writing.
The warning/threat in Revelation does not seem to fit with the rest of what we call scripture. It sticks out like a sore thumb to me and I wonder if the threat itself was not added later by zealots. It seems more like somehting you would expect to find in the Book of Mormon or in the Koran.
The question for me is does the Book Of Revelation itself belong in the canon of scripture at all? Luther didn't seem to think so as well as others in the very early church.

Why do you think no one can understand the book of Rev its not that hard
What do you need to know about it
I believe you can not add or subtract from this book or and book of the bible
But about writing new books I believe it can be done
