Some biblical scholars believe that the Book of Revelations should be fired from the canon.
Let’s go to the tape.

“The author of the Book of Revelation identifies himself only as “John”. Traditionally, this was often believed to be the same person as John the Apostle (John, son of Zebedee), one of the apostles of Jesus, to whom the Gospel of John was also attributed. The early-2nd-century writer Justin Martyr was the first to equate the author of Revelation with John the Evangelist.
Other early Christian writers, such as Dionysius of Alexandria and Eusebius of Caesarea, noting the differences in language and theological outlook between this work and the Gospel, discounted this possibility, and argued for the exclusion of the Book of Revelation from the canon as a result. The early Christian writer Papias appeared in his writings to distinguish between John the Evangelist and John the Elder, and many biblical scholars now contend that the latter was the author of Revelation. The majority view of modern scholarship is that the author of the Book of Revelation is not the same person as John the Apostle or John the Evangelist.”

Revelations was written by someone using hallucinogens.

I think it was written where there is a fifth dimension, beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man’s fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call The Twilight Zone. or the Book of Revelations.

Yeah. That’s right. A druggie making shit up.
