Unfortunately folks read Re Revelation as if it were some great prediction of the end of the world..
Revelation was and remains a stinging attack on the world of John's (whomever he was) day. Crossan, Borg, Fox, Phillips and others.
In the past the prophets were not speaking of some distant time in the future but were speaking to the people of their own time, calling them back God.
Shalom
