You notice that I do not rely on tradition nor any 'hive' mind.
The Book of Revelation is a Rosetta stone using the symbols of sensus plenior used throughout the rest of scripture speaking of the cross. It is an abuse to use it to talk about Russia and China.
So the opinions of early church fathers or anyone else matter little when you can validate the observations
The Book of Revelation is the revelation given to Jesus before the cross, concerning the cross, which he shared with his friends, who were reminded of it by the Holy Spirit after the cross. This is the mystery teaching of Jesus which shows how to read the OT in order to see Jesus and the cross in it all.
Paul calls it the mystery which was hidden from the beginning.
