And most (or many, to be fair) believe the Book of Revelations to have been written in the 4th century AD by someone called John of Patmos and was intended to encourage persecuted Christians to stand strong and keep the faith because they would be rewarded by God. It, like all of the prophesies in the OT, had nothing to do with the future but addressed current situations. In the OT, most were warnings of what would come about if the people continued to do certain things. Not what would happen regardless.
