And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy
No thanks. I'm more of a Tolkien guy when I read fiction
Calling Ron Paul an isolationist is like calling your neighbor a hermit because he doesn't come over and break your window - unknown

Irenaeus had lots of apocalyptic books to chose from when he was compiling the NT canon. He chose this one. In the words of Jay Weidner, "The Book of Revelation had the authority of the Apostle John behind it as well as a distinctive Gnostic flavor."

This book spoke to and continues to speak to an overwhelming sense of world- weariness and a desire for the complete transfiguration of what is seen as an imperfect and sinful world.
