Don't Catholic Bibles place Revelation, or Apocalypse, at the end of the New Testament? The Vulgate, the basis for traditional Catholic translations, predates Luther by over 1100 years. Irrespective of Luther's speculation about its canonicity, Bibles from all three major branches of Christianity place Revelation as the last book.

The authorities cited here are postmillenial scholars like Bahnsen, or amillenial ones like Bultmann. Amillenialism has been the predominant view of the Catholic Church since Augustine, and it was the view of Luther and Calvin. These schools of eschatology are dependent upon a pre AD 70 date for Revelation. If John had been killed during the Jewish-Roman War, then that book likely refers to the events surrounding the fall of national Israel during that conflict.

No, they are not.
