I can easily recognise John's position - he has no way of knowing anything other than the east half of the Mediterranean, there's no TV, no knowledge of the rest of the planet. He knows of the Empires, he's met Romans, but from Rome and Greece to Syria and Persia is as far as knowledge reaches. And if he's seen what you have identified then his written description is not an unreasonable means of expression, it fits with his lived experience.
As for your ability to interpret further, the rapture clearly makes it problematic. You point out that none from God's Church will be left to interpret post-rapture events.
