indeed. in christianity the book of revelations was likely written for those early christians who dared to wonder "why hasn't jesus returned yet as foretold in the gospels?" all sorts of apocalyptic literature can be found in the apocrypha, it was all written to boost troop morale and keep everyone focused on the "end game." church leaders simply appended one of the stories to the bible like nobody's business, calling it "revelations," and often claiming that it was written by the author of the gospel of john although it most certainly was written much later, and in much sloppier language.
how's that for divine revelation!
