It was very literal for the people who necessitated it's inclusion, and for modern day christians...and christians at every year in between, which has always been the last year before the end of days. Doesn't really matter what the author intended, huh? Think about that, every generation from that first proto christian generation to this one..convinced that theirs would be the last to walk the earth, and that jesus would be back....any day now. By a poem, as you imagine it.
Whats super amusing is that is was included, like other stories in the "gospels" for it's popularity with the masses, not because the people in charge of that decision believed it or thought that it fit with their theology...which they didn't and it didn't, and they knew that from the beginning.
