I am serious. Before the invention of the printing press the book of Revelation was in and out of the canon like a yo-yo. It was the printing press, not God, that fixed it into today's Bible.

But then again maybe God was behind it, by being behind man's evolution into the technological age ... and Revelation being fixed in the canon was a by-product ... an after thought.

Still, the book of Revelation has vexed Christians ever since the 2nd century, when it was introduced along with many other apocalyptic literature.
