Revelation was not originally a part of the Holy Bible.

According to Denzinger, Revelation was accepted into the canon at the Council of Carthage of 397 AD, according to McDonald & Sanders it was added at the later 419 council. Revelation's place in the canon was not guaranteed, however, with doubts raised as far back as the 2nd century about its character, symbolism, and apostolic authorship.
There's a monkey wrench, eh? Not God, but Men decided it should be in there.
