John (the guy that wrote that chapter) was banished to an island 13 square miles in area, a barren rock on a lonely sea. Little to eat, and little to drink, he spent the last of his days writing revelations in a cave.
True biblical scholars know very well that the violent imagery is directed at the Roman empire (Nero in particular), which is understandable since they're the ones that put him there. The "scholars" that disagree with this, are ignorant of the history of the Roman empire at that point in time.
Also, the fad in Rome during those years was to cook in lead pots, and eat on lead plates. I invite you believers of Revelations to do the same for a while and see if you have all you mental faculties afterwards.
Revelations needs to be removed from the bible. It is NOT the word of God.
