Revelation is basically only in the Bible by accident. Because the author’s name is John, some early Christians mistakenly believed it was written by John of Zebedee, to whom is attributed the Gospel of John and who was one of Jesus’s disciples. That guy is a legend! They figured anything he wrote ought to be in the Bible, no matter how freaky. But Revelation, it turns out, was written by a dude named John of Patmos.
