More generally, I had been wondering for a long time about a specific apparent problem with the vms: cribs seem to be totally useless. One thing this could imply is that the vms may not be enciphered plaintext.
Of course, maybe people are picking the wrong cribs, and maybe you're onto something fruitful with this idea of some text from Revelation.
The general idea is to pick a means of encipherment (and / or encoding) and see if that algorithm creates a match in VMS text from your crib. If so, then you can try to use it in reverse to see if it turns more vms text into meaningful plaintext to prove your crib match wasn't just a lucky coincidence.
