Or maybe they really did see a future where people would stop believing the bullshit. Not through divine inspiration but through reason.
They probably knew of other religions on the decline.
It' wasn't written to scare people, it was written to warn people that time was growing to a close. Hell doesn't bother Christians, we want be there. Divine inspiration has nothing to do with people not believing, it has everything to do with people who think they know more than Christians about everything, people are reasoning themselves right into hell. This is also taught in then NT, you should read it some time, preferably before it's to late.
