the reasons why this Book of Revelation was written in the manner it was,

Is it possible that it was written that way because the author was tripping on hallucinogenics?

Which is not meant to discredit his prophecy. Some ancient history refers to the use of drug induced trances to communicate with a higher power.

Revelation is a fine example of apocalyptic writings of the inter testamentary period, roughly 200 BC to 200 AD. If you follow the Bible as a record of Man's growing understanding of his relationship to God, from ancient origins to the New Testament, you find a trend from angels as messengers and actors to visions interpreted by angels, such as in Daniel, Zechariah and now John at Patmos. It is understood to be resistance literature, exhorting Christians to stand fast against persecution.

The books entitled Matthew, Mark and Luke all quoted Jesus as saying that those to whom He was speaking “would not taste death” until they saw His kingdom.
At least they made sense, even if they were flat wrong. Revelations, as you say, was either written by a man in his cups and/or completely off his rocker.
