Why Bible/ NIV is Not Revelation

NIV/ Bible has No Original Texts -
The New International Version (NIV) is a translation of the Bible into contemporary English. Published by Biblica, the complete NIV was released in 1978 with a minor revision in 1984 and a major revision in 2011. The NIV relies on recently-published critical editions of the original Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek texts.[1][2]

Biblica claims that "the NIV delivers the very best combination of accuracy and readability."[6] As of March 2013, over 450 million printed copies of the translation had been distributed.[5] The NIV is the best-selling translation in the United States.[7]

Translation methodology
The core translation group consisted of fifteen Biblical scholars using Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek texts whose goal was to produce a more modern English language text than the King James Version. The translation took ten years and involved a team of over 100 scholars[26][27] from the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa. The range of those participating included many different denominations such as Anglicans, Catholic, Assemblies of God, Baptist, Christian Reformed, Lutheran and Presbyterian.[28]

The NIV is a balance between word-for-word and thought-for-thought or literal and phrase-by-phrase translations.[29]

Recent archaeological and linguistic discoveries helped in understanding passages that have traditionally been difficult to translate. Familiar spellings of traditional translations were generally retained.[30]
