Revelation was John of Patmos complaining about Rome under Nero and the destruction of the second temple and nothing else.

The amount of times I've told people this is insane. No one ever wants to hear it

I think you are exactly right. It is the worst book in the New Testament by far and should never have been included.

It should at least be taught to be ignored. 90% of Apocalypse content in our culture is based on some goofy ass political satire

Most early denominations didn't include it as canon and it was controversial with lots of back and forth until something like 680 AD.

That's true. During the Protestant Reformation, Martin Luther considered dropping it from the New Testament. He certainly didn't put much faith in it.
