May I make one thing more clear?

It may not make much of a difference....but then again maybe it will to some.

I see folks call the Revelation book, "The Book of Revelations".

It is not a book of revelations...It is The Revelation of Jesus to John.

Would anyone see any difference that may make?

Rev 1:1 The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show his servants what must soon take place. He made it known by sending his angel to his servant John,
2 who testifies to everything he saw--that is, the word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ.

It is my understanding that the Liberty Bell was rung on special occasions for many years.

It is an important symbol of freedom. The myth that it is "crappy" has taken on a symbolic life of it's own.

It is a very odd fact, but true, that the Liberty Bell was never actually rung at any significant event in American history. Last week my older son asked me why we have as one of our great national symbols a crappy bell that cracked the first time it was rung, and had no other significance. My only explanation is that it's neat looking, so it has taken on a symbolic life completely independent of its actual life.
