What are the relationships between apocalyptic literature and prophecy?
Apocalypse, or Revelation, is the name of the last book in the Bible, written toward the end of the first century C.E.

Prophecy can be defined as an inspired message; a revelation of the divine will and purpose. Prophecy may be a prediction of something to come, inspired moral teaching, or an expression of a divine command or judgment.
What is an apocalyptic prophet?
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.
What kind of literature is Apocalyptic language in the bible?
The Collins Dictionary defines "apocalypse" [with small "a"] as a prophetic disclosure or revelation, and "Apocalypse" [with capital "A" ] as the Book of Revelation in the Vulgate and Douay versions of the New Testament. As a generalization, the word Apocalypse is used by Roman Catholics and Revelation by Protestants, but it is the same book. It is a book of prophecy about the End-times (which I believe we are now in) and the End of the World, and would be classified as 'Eschatological' .
