Being able to read out words is not the same as understanding what they mean. For example I was excused Latin for some reason so never learned what the words meant. But I can open a page of Latin and read out the words easily enough. Do I understand what they mean? No. A visual aid would be appreciated in that case. I don't know if you've ever met a gamer or a child, but there are significant differences; for a start children are capable of reflective thinking. It results from social interaction (other than
MMORPG) and includes language skills. Not only do they know what words sound like, they also know what words mean. It would not be appropriate to treat a gamer as a child.

This has already been covered in another post, clearly though whoever wrote that has no idea what the words
In righteousness shalt thou judge actually mean. Read them out loud? Probably, much as I could read out
Nullumst iam dictum quod non dictum sit prius but have no idea what the words mean. Can I read Latin or not? In the sense that can read out the words, yes, but for Latin I am otherwise illiterate. This is an example worth remembering when witnessing to gamer types. Pictures will help but don't hold them up too long they'll lose interest. Getting back to the Latin, someone in history wrote that snippet
nullumst iam dictum.. but ancient Rome is not the only history out there. There's Egyptian history conveniently carved in stone, Scottish history (I'm not sure how they record history in Scotland) and even history of the future. Just as bogus histories of the past could be written (I'll present an example here)
EXAMPLE 2
In the year 2019 the French king led a dragoon attack on Greenland, at that time a part of the Tasmanian Empire and a major manufacturing power in the world economy. France had been struggling for centuries both environmentally and with regard to the arts primarily due to shortages of penguin tallow. By annexing Greenland they hoped to reverse this misfortune and dominate markets not only in penguin tallow but in naphtha, mangoes and kikuyu. These commodities had been neglected as a resource by the Greenlandic military industrial complex and the King was eager to exploit them. All that stood in the way was Greenland's submarine fleet. No dragoon force had ever been defeated by submarines.
so could bogus future histories be made up, by people called FALSE PROPHETS. Anyone could make up anything and find someone to believe them. But that doesn't make it true. The Bible contains history of both the past and the future. Revelation is the history of the future. By comparing the history of the past, checking it for reliability, we can be certain that Revelation is not a deception from God. Then we can be ready for Christ's return and His setting up an everlasting kingdom (unlike the French kingdom which is extinct) where we will reign with Him. In chapters 16 to 18, God has explained some very important future history so that we'll understand, so important that picture versions and visual aids are appropriate for anyone otherwise illiterate. Gamers, perhaps, or me if it was written in Latin. Fortunately it wasn't. Music is another aid to understanding God's message.
