Let's see now. Where did you get that from? Oh, yes: Revelation. The
same book in which a literal dragon pelts the earth with 1/3 of all
the actual stars, after which a literal giant hooker rides a literal
scarlet beast--when she isn't sitting on seven literal mountains.

Um, what exactly is your question again? Sounds like you need a
reading lesson.
