Some of this exists in the Bible books of Joel and Zechariah, while Isaiah chapters 24-27 and 33 present well-developed apocalypses. The Book of Daniel offers a fully matured and classic example of this genre.

All in the future and fear then courage.
A:We could identify an apocalyptic prophet by the literature he wrote. As a genre, apocalyptic literature involves the unveiling or revelation of things not previously known and which could not be known apart from the unveiling. This type of literature became popular among the Jews after the Babylonian Exile, and particularly during the period from 200 BCE to 100 CE. Although perhaps not part of the genre, the Book of Ezekiel set the standard for future apocalyptic literature. The only canonical book of the Old Testament universally regarded as apocalyptic is Daniel, written around 167 BCE. Jews do not regard Daniel as a prophet, while biblical scholars have identified the book as having been written as a novel. Several non-canonical books are known from the same period. The Book of Revelation is apocalyptic, which would make John of Patmos an apocalyptic prophet. John of Patmos is traditionally identified with the apostle John, but we do not know who he really was. There are several non-canonical apocalyptic books of the Christian era, authors unknown.
John the evangelist, wrote also the book of Revelation or Apocalypse in the Greek.

True. apocalyptic literature sees the world in stark terms of good and evil, predicts the coming of God's victory over evil, asserts that God will reward good people and punish evil people, and thus urges people to live righteous lives in preparation for the end of time.
