While I agree with some of what you say concerning “modern day” prophets, I totally disagree with your take on the Biblical book Revelation. God was who made sure it was included in what we have today. It was also accepted by the early church as a book written by the Apostle John.

I’d like to hear why you believe it should not have been in the Bible.

You mean aside from reading like a blow-by-blow description of a bad LSD trip I assume....

The thing starts out:

THE REVELATION TO JOHN CHAPTER 1 1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must SHORTLY come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John:

2 Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw.

That's the biggest problem. There is no rational definition of "shortly" which means that two thousand years could go by without whatever was supposed to happen having happened, and anybody with brains or talent should still be sitting around waiting for it.
