Hi -
Review if you're inclined.
I googled the Book of Revelation and read some interesting things expressed about it.
1. But people have clashed over the meaning of Revelation ever since it was virtually forced into the New Testament canon over the protests of some early church leaders, Pagels says.

2. Revelation was the last book to be accepted into the Christian biblical canon, and even at the present day some Nestorian churches reject it.[19] It was tainted because the heretical sect of the Montanists relied on it[20] and doubts were raised over its Jewishness and authorship,[21] and it was not until 419 that it was included in the canon.
Religious Interpretations
One entry under the Religious Interpretations section from the Wikipedia site (link below) says this about the book of Revelation:
Idealist, or Symbolic, which holds that Revelation does not refer to actual people or events, but is an allegory of the spiritual path and the ongoing struggle between good and evil.
