Good sci-fi is about the present

Revelation is about the future, not history so it cannot be “historically accurate.”

So, the claim that "John" had a "vision" of Jesus, who was dead, while the writer was alone on an island is, according to you, "not history so it cannot be historically accurate"?

The Apostle John’s vision was a vision of the future. How can the future events in his vision be historically accurate. They haven’t happened yet.

Once again, do you believe it is "historically accurate" that "John" had a "vision" of Jesus while the writer was alone on an island?

Are the things described in Matthew 27:52–53 historical facts?

The claim that someone actually had this "vision of the future" and that the details of it were correctly recorded is either [1] "historically accurate" or [2] we have absolutely no way of knowing.

@fmf said
If they are "historical facts", where are they reported, aside from in Matthew?

@fmf said
Is the writer's identity a "historical fact"?

A vision of the future is not history. It’s bizarre to question whether a vision of the future is “historically accurate.”

And since the person who had the vision is the same one who recorded it, yeah, I’d say he recorded it accurately.
