The Sibylline Oracles, texts written in Greek Hexameter prose, are a wide ranging phenomenon that is said to stretch back to the Oracle of Delphi, and spread throughout the Hellenistic world into Asia Minor, Mesopotamia, Judea, North Africa and Italy. The Sibyl was at first, depicted as an aged woman, with the gift of prophecy and that there was 12 of them. The Persian Sibyl, Libyan Sibyl, Delphic Sibyl, Cimmerian Sibyl, Erythraen Sibyl, Samian Sibyl, Cumaen Sibyl, Hellspontine Sibyl, Phyrgian Sibyl, Tiburtine Sibyl, Egyptian Sibyl, and Chaldean Sibyl. Some lists replace the Persian Sibyl with the Hebrew Sibyl. Legend had it, that the Cumaen Sibyl, close to Rome, was 1000 years old and had given her books to the 5th King of Rome, an Etruscan King named Tarquinius Priscus, grandson of Numa Pompilius who succeeded Romulus. These oracles were entrusted to the Priesthood of Jupiter to be guarded by the Vestal Virgins and only consulted in times of crises. Regardless of the truth of their origins, these books became central to the Religion of Rome during the Republic Era. Like the Prophets of the Old Tetsament, these Sibyls predicted future catastrophic events and the demise of major cities by god. These texts were most likely used as a from of political propaganda to sway public opinion during times of war. From the 3rd century BC to thorugh the 1st century, we see a mixture of Greek & Jewish themes present in these texts, specifically in Alexandria Egypt, where a large jewish and greek population co-exists. It is here in Alexandria, where the collection of all 12 Sibyls are gathered and put into one collection. They show both Jewish and Pagan influence. Everything from Hesiod themes of the Golden Age of Saturn, Homeric Epics like the Illiad, Predictions of Romulus, Cyrus the Great, Alexander the Great, Caesar Augusus as well as references to Gods like Ares, Kronos, Aphrodite, Zeus, the Titans vs the Olympinas, all the way to stories about Noah's Ark, the Tower of Babel, Moses getting the Tablets on Mt. Sinia. The Latin Poet Virgil is mentioned by name in the Sibylline Oracles, as a great teacher sent by God to teach the world. And Virgil himself, cites the Sibylline Books in his Aeneid, and mentions the Deiphobe as the Cumaen Sibyl.

Notice the blend between Pagan and Jewish elements, and how the Creator includes the many gods within his creation of the world. This type of genre can also be seen among the Book of Revelation.

For Example:
Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. Gaia and Ouranos fled from his presence, and there was no place for them. And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books. Thassala gave up the dead that were in it, and Thanatos and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each person was judged according to what they had done. Then Thanatos and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death. Anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire.
Revelation 20:11-15

If you read the english translation, you might not know this. But most english translations are like playing a game of telephone, being filtered through latin and different versions of english, the nouns are translated into places when they were written as names. Not only that, Gaia, Ouranos, Thassala, Thanatos, and Hades are all gods that have hymns dedicated to them in the Oprhic Hymns. The latter 3, Thassala, Thanatos, and Hades are gods who rule over the dead, while Gaia and Ouranos rule over creation. Here Thanatos and Hades are being judged and casted into the lake of fire for being insubordinate to the divine plan of God.
Revelation was the last book to be accepted into the Christian biblical canon, and even at the present day some Nestorian churches reject it. It was tainted because the heretical sect of the Montanists relied on it and doubts were raised over its Jewishness and authorship, and it was not until 419 that it was included in the canon. The Montanists were led by Montanus, a heretic who was called a gnositc, and he was a Sibyllist. He was assisted by two women, Prisca and Maximilla, led a group of Christian Sibyllists called the ILLUMINATI (enlightened ones), who were considered prophetesses and voices of the Sibyl. They entered into states of ecstatic frenzies, spoke in tongues and prophecied the future. Montanus, despite being deemed a heretic, is credited with Baptizing Tertullian, "the father of Latin Christianity".
