Consider for a moment how the interpretation of the book of R. by a Rabbi
schooled in Kaballism (the real thing, not the Madonna version), would differ
from that of Falwell, e.g.

If the Christian world would wake up, realize that the book of
Revelations is a profoundly Kabbalistic Jewish text, probably written by
an Essene, it would do worlds of good for Christian theology.

Good idea! I'll try to write a gee-whiz article for Reader's Digest
advancing the most likely scholarly thesis that "666" was a number code
for the Emperor Nero, and that sections of Revelations were encoded to
prevent a messenger carrying the scroll, if intercepted by Roman
soldiers, from being executed as a rebel.
The Nero=666 idea is the most plausible decoding accepted by mainstream
theologians, so maybe Reader's D would bite....then all the Hollywood
fear mongers might try to sue me for "taking the fun out of scary
religion films." But at least I'd have my sixty bucks.
