Endnote 2 – Revelation and the Militias

This apocalyptic worldview is typical of “visionary historical” apocalypses, one of two main categories of ancient Jewish and Christian apocalypses (the other category is “other-worldly journey” apocalypses). For the distinction and a classification of such books into two almost equal categories, see John Collins, The Apocalyptic Imagination (New York: Crossroad, 1984).
