Evidence the Author of Revelation is Paul, not John

His angel plays the last trump it

Apokalypsis is not used by John

Revelation is sign-ified by Paul.
End: Paul's token: written by his own hand.
Peter clarifies Revelation 20, in 2Peter 3:8.
It's the Uncovering (Revelation) of St John,
as if uncovering Law many thought Divine.

Evidence the Author of Revelation is Paul, not John

Apokalypsis (Revelation):
John never uses 'apokalypsis'.
Paul uses 'apokalypsis' 14 of 17 times.
Peter, converted by Paul, uses it thrice.


Let the Bible Interpret the Bible about who's the Author of Revelation (Apokalypsis)
The word 'apokalypsis' (revelation: 12, be revealed: 2,  manifestation: 1, coming: 1, appearing: 1) is used 17 times: 14 by Paul: his witness unto all men, 3 by converted Peter: thrice denying Peter who got converted much later by reading all Paul's epistles (including Revelation): 2Peter 3:16. Apokalypsis (apokalupsis in Strong's) is never used by John. Rather, as 'Apokalypsis Ioahnnou' denotes, it's Apokalypsis about John: "The Revelation (Uncovering) of St John The Divine". Allegorically it's Pauline written as the uncovering of Johnny Law that many still think of as Divine. It's hand signed (sign-ified) by Paul (his angel) with his token (ticket to higher heaven): last trump. Only by Paul's salutation of pure grace does Revelation become a book of life, instead of a book of death. If law dog John were author of Revelation, it would be "the end (sunteleia) of the world": global destruction instead of "the end" (telos) of law to endure unto to be saved: global salvation. Therefore Paul (his witness unto all men) is author of Revelation, not John (his servant).

The end John saw was Jesus' Law: "the end of the world" (Olivet Discourse): Destruction.
The end Paul saw was Christ's Grace: is the end of the law (Romans 10:4): Reconciliation.

    End1: the end (sunteleia) of the world ... global destruction ... Law (prophecy) ... John
    End2: the end (telos) to endure unto ... global reconciliation ... Grace (prophesy) ... Paul
    Hebrews 10:9 He taketh away the first (Law), that he may establish the second (Grace).
    Hebrews 13:9 It is a good (God) thing the heart be established with grace; not with meats.

Peter read it, calls it Paul's epistle; Also mentions Revelation 1:12 & Revelation 20
The evidence reveals Peter also refers to Revelation in mentioning all Paul's epistles: 2Peter 3:16. Converted Peter allegorically refers to Revelation 20's "thousand years" in 2Peter 3:8. Peter also allegorically refers to John in 2Peter 2:22, where he notes it is "happened" (past tense) as written: the dog is turned to his own vomit again. So it reasons 2nd Peter had already read Revelation. Furthermore, when Peter uses the word "revelation" in 1Peter, he mentions be holy with sobriety and hope to the end (teleios: where Paul sign-ifies Revelation, and by his own hand); With hope for the "grace" that is to be brought unto you at "the revelation of Jesus Christ" (a phrase only previously used by Paul, who writes more New Testament writings than all six other New Testament writers combined). The gospel of Paul is not a divided L/R gospel of two Sons Jesus (brought division, and not peace); It's the gospel of God: Grace and the gospel of Christ: Peace. Peter got converted by reading all Paul's epistles (including Hebrews and Revelation). 1Peter 1:23 clarifies born again (converted) is not of corruptible seed (Law: Jesus of C-->J), but of incorruptible (Grace: Christ of J-->C). So after 1Peter there's no more mention of mediator Christ Jesus (occurs from Acts to 1Peter). Therefore Paul (his angel) is author of Revelation, not John (his servant); Which is to say Paul (man of child/man) is author of Revelation, not John (child, of child/man). For in Galatians 4 we're told a child differeth nothing from a servant. So be not children nor servants. Both child and servant are a kNOW not, in the same manner as law (of law/grace) is kNOW not. NOW faith is the substance of things hoped for (Grace --> Mercy --> Peace), the evidence of things not seen (as child). Law is not of faith; So begin Faith --> Hope --> Charity (never fails) with Grace (never forsakes) so Hope thereof isn't as hopeless as Law (will forsake you), but as hopeful as Grace (will never forsake you), and helps you endure unto the end (of law), true Peace thereof.

    Blessed1: blessed they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered ... Law
    Blessed2: blessed the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin (let us make man) ... Grace
    Matthew 10:26 (Lk 12:2) nothing covered that shall not be revealed (apokalypsis, from apokalupto)
    Luke 16:16 law and prophets were; but KofG is now preached, and every man presseth into it
    1Corinthians 11: be followers of me, as I am of Christ: the head of every man (not child nor men)
    1Corinthians 13: but when I became a man, I put away CHILDish things (laws, cover ups)

Think From The End

After seven years of studying the book of Revelation (only 25 pages in big print, 15 in small print), I gave up trying to solve it. Upon reviewing what all mentality said about it, including my own notes, I could not get any theories to agree with each other or the Bible itself. So I trashed a truck load of books, tapes, videos, notes. Then I went to the couch and pondered what James 1:5 said: "if any of you lack wisdom, let him ask God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him". I'd been asking unperfected Jesus who did upbraid, even after risen: the 'arnion' Lamb in Revelation who still bites and smites with his sharp twoedged swordy mouth. This is not the 'amnos' Lamb of God; For Paul notes in Hebrews 4:12 the word of God is sharper than any twoedged sword. So it reasoned I could ask God directly. After also pondering the next few verses in James which clarified "ask in faith, nothing wavering", else you get nothing for being double minded; I asked the God who upbraideth not, and I asked nothing wavering for truth at any cost, even if it made me look like a fool to my peers. Then I got it: teaching about Revelation directly from the Spirit. The interesting thing about that was the Spirit had me meditate on the last verse for several days until I finally realized it was the last trump, the token of Paul written by his own hand (as thrice noted in his epistles). Such made Paul (not John) the author of Revelation. That agreed with a Wayne Dyer quote I heard on Public TV: 'Think From The End'.

    Lamb1 (arnion): out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: upbraid: bite & smite ... Law
    Lamb2 (amnos): word of God is sharper than any twoedged sword: upbraideth not ... Grace
    John 1:29 Behold the Lamb (amnos) of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.
    John 3:17 God did not send his Son to condemn (law) the world, but to save (grace) it.
    John 4:45 Do not think that I (grace) will accuse you to the Father ... but Moses (law) will

He that shall endure unto the end (telos) shall be saved: Matthew 24:13 (Mark 13:13)
As there's a way to be forgiven that later results in unforgiven and tormented: Matthew 18: 23-35; There's a way to be saved that later results in being unsaved: Galatians 5:4. For what's covered in Psalms 32:1 (Romans 4:7) "blessed" (actually blessed + cursed) gets uncovered by Matthew 10:26 (Luke 12:2). So as a preamble to Revelation, Jude 1:5 reminds us Exodus folk (them all) got both saved + destroyed afterward by their grace + law afterward. The accounting in Numbers reveals no originals saved out of Egypt made it to enter, not even their leader Moses. They were all destroyed (not suffered to continue by reason of death) while being wilderness driven, which took them forty years to make a journey a child on crutches could make in a week. James 1 calls such plural "ways" double minded: "unstable". Unstable is a word that seems to describe climate change, perhaps due to man-y sheeple still being tossed this way <--> that way by contrary winds (spirits).

Saved is good, but Clarity about saved is better:
So clarity about saved involves continuance: endurance: endure unto the end written. The alternative, also mentioned, is this: not suffered to continue by reason of death: Hebrews 7:23; But this "Lord also" of the Sabbath is as a "drawback to perdition" instead of "go on unto perfection". Revelation takes place on a Sabbath, but it's a black Sabbath made for man, but only the man John, who's last state is worse: more the CHILD of hell (law) and who's worse-end state notably in-volves seven Spirits. Such might also explain so many declarations of a 'state of emergency' lately by so many governors in the united states of america, who continue to promote 'rule of law'. Johnny law says try spirits, but Paul says seducing spirits are doctrines of devils: lies in latter times. So observe not weak and beggarly elements such as days, and months, and times, and years. Such plural things are non eternal, and our objective is to "lay hold on eternal life" of "eternal salvation".

  Spirit of Error: The Law (was: given by Moses)... Another Law is as Another Error ... Delete
  Spirit of Truth: Grace (is: came by Jesus Christ)... kNOW the truth shall make you Free ... Save
  Compare-i-son: Comparing spiritual things (laws) with spiritual (grace): as if death <--vs--> life
  Paul: all laws, written in stone and ink, are to be done away as the ministration of death: 2Cor 3
  Paul: by the using of laws all perish, so touch not, taste not, handle not deadly laws: Col 2:21

Paul says "he taketh away the first (law), that he may establish the second (grace): Hebrews 10:9; it's a good (God) thing that the heart be established with grace, not with meats (grace and law): Hebrews 13:9. Sadly many deceived by many interpret he taketh away the first to establish the second as taking away Law1 to establish Law2. Converted Peter, notably when making reference to all Paul's epistles, says they that are unlearned and unstable do such to their own destruction: 2Peter 3:16. This concurs with what Paul said about "they" sayers in 1Thessalonians 5:3 "when they shall say Peace and safety (in Law worketh Wrath); then sudden destruction cometh upon them". We still see this happening as current events. So it reasons the end (of law: sin: death) to endure unto to be saved only: "The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all. Amen." is notably the conclusion of, the token in, every Pauline Epistle,
including Hebrews and Revelation:

    Romans (to Jews & Gentiles): The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all. Amen. x2
    1Corinthians: The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ with you. My love with you all ... Amen.
    2 Corinthians: The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ ... with you all. Amen.
    Galatians: Brethren, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ with your spirit. Amen.
    Ephesians: Grace with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity. Amen.
    Philippians: The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all. Amen.
    Colossians: The salutation by the hand of me Paul: Grace with you. Amen.
    1Thessalonians: The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ with you. Amen.
    2Thessalonians: The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all. Amen.
    1TimothyGrace with thee. Amen.
    2Timothy: Grace with you. Amen.
    Titus: The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ with your spirit. Amen.
    Hebrews: Grace with you all. Amen.
    Revelation: The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all. Amen.

Such Pauline token (salutation: salute) of pure grace void of law (as if the ticket to upper heaven) is always written by Paul's own hand, as Paul himself thrice notes in his epistles. No other
New Testament writer uses it except converted Peter in 2Peter, where he allegorically mentions Revelation 1:12 & 20 and notes his conversion came about by reading all Paul's epistles (including Revelation). But converted Peter puts it this way: Grow in grace, and the kNOWledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ; For Peter was told to strengthen (grace) his scatter brain brethren when converted. Paul notes when I am (grace) weak, then am I (law) strong; And if law be a strong man not bound, law can be the strength of sin's death sting, a "grave" subject in 1Corinthians 15:55,56. With Paul it's thrice noted his conclusion: saluation: token of grace being with you all (with you and all the KofG within you) is written by his own hand, no matter who else penned his oration:

    I:   1Corinthians 16:21: The salutation of [me] Paul with mine own hand.
    II:  Colossians 4:18: The salutation by the hand of me Paul.
    III: 2Thessalonians 3:17: The salutation of Paul with mine own hand, which is
    the token in every epistle: so I write The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all. Amen.
    Note singular mention of "hand", as it's a fearful thing to fall into "hands" of the living God: Law.
    In highmined Jesus it's L/R hands: division, not peace; But in higher Christ it's right hand above.
    So the gospel of Paul isn't the gospel of Jesus, but the gospel of God and the gospel of Christ.

So, how does such information line up with the beginning of Revelation; And what about the five mentions of John in Revelation, six if you count the official title? What about the date of Revelation being thought of by many scholars as 90-95AD, about 25-30 yrs after the death of Paul and Peter? We'll touch all these bases before we do the grace run home. First, let's bat around the fact a few scholarly people are now saying Revelation has the format an epistle; And the author of Revelation is not the author of the gospel according to John. It reasons Revelation is the last of 22 New Testament epistles grouped as 14 Pauline Epistles (ending with
mini bible Hebrews), which dovetail with Seven General Epistles called small c catholic: universal, which dovetail with Revelation: the last epistle having the last trump, which notably only occurs in the Pauline Epistles. Therefore Paul is the author of Revelation, not Johnny come lately with wrath which God hath not appointed us to.

Them-ward: 1Thessalonians 5: 3 <--vs--> Us-ward: 1Thessalonians 5:9
    When they shall say Peace and safety, then sudden destruction cometh upon them.
    God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ.

The Lord is longsuffering to us-ward ... is accounted as salvation obtained.
Safe is good, Safer is better, Safest is best. So always go on to what's best for all.
Peace with God is through our Lord Jesus Christ. Salvation to obtain is by our Lord Jesus Christ.

The thing about Pauline Epistles is such are safe (Philippians 3:1), for such open and close with harmless grace as if to quarantine any discussion of harmful law (dung, shit) therein; Perhaps as if to quarantine a deadly virus in the body of Christ while anal-izing it: processing it to the be thou removed from me sector. Yet when analyzed, Paul's greeting is from "the" Lord Jesus Christ, but his salutation is from "our" Lord Jesus Christ. So then, we could allegorically say it's only safest to eat a shit sandwich like Revelation if it's a Pauline Epistle having the last trump: grace, which even Hebrews has. Yet Hebrews last trump doesn't have all the clarity a last trump in Revelation has; Perhaps why Peter had to read both to get converted. The last trump in Revelation has all the clarity, such as what sort of "grace" (God) is available from "our" Lord Jesus Christ, and that sort of grace from that sort of Lord is "with you all", not some of you; And when it comes to that sort of grace from that sort of Lord it's only "with", not against nor both with and against; Furthermore the "you all" in the end begins with "you" and applies to "all" the kingdom of God is within "you". So even when it comes to the last trump, we should look for, hasten unto, all the clarity of charity. Paul begins his clarity of charity with charity edifies rather than puffs up, shews us charity exhorts to go higher, as unto comfort only of prophesy instead of both comfort + discomfort of prophecy; Even notes charity (thinketh no evil) should eventually be put on above forgiving one another. But converted Peter's further clarity of charity, fervent charity, tops this, which is like putting the icing on the cake Paul baked by saying greet ye one another with a kiss of charity. So converted Peter begins with mention of the God and Father our Lord Jesus Christ, after reading all Paul's epistles.

    In his epistles Paul tells us important things like: 
    Be not highminded, since wickedness occurs in high places. Go on to higher is harmless.
    Be no more children, since children get tossed, and differ nothing from servants (slaves).
    Be no more servants, since servants do not abide for ever, only the Son ("Christ") does.
    Be no more Jesus (division), since peace with God is through Jesus --> Christ, in Christ.
    But in most cases we have to wait, endure unto the end, to get to our Lord Jesus Christ.

    It's like saying the sharks continue to replace lost teeth, as many as 24,000 in a life time;
    About the number of flavors available of Pop-$ickle sinagogues and sin imputing churches.
    $inagogues have hypocrites, fools, blind guides, vipers, whited sepulchres, extortion serpents.
    Churches have dogs, sorcerers, whoremongers, murderers, idolaters, lovers & makers of lies.
    So we ought to leave principles in legalist sinagogues and churches to avoid biting and smiting.

Revelation is written by Paul; But it's different than Pauline Epistles
Revelation does have a similar format to Paul's Epistles: Greeting ... Discussion ... Salutation; However two problems in Revelation are Greeting ... Discussion. The Greeting does copy Paul's Grace and Peace, but when it's from Law (is and was and is to come) and from seven Spirits the grace is like insufficient grace Noah found in the eyes of the LORD (LAW), and the peace is like prosac pre-scribed by hypocrites. Worse yet, the discussion involves four night mares with a rider on the fourth being named Death, followed by hell. This allegorically describes four gospels, the fourth being the gospel according to John, which is verily verily, having two resurrections from the grave, the latter being resurrection of damnation. So navigating Revelation is like navigating through the best of spam cleverly written by Paul as a steward of the mysteries. If we don't do it "in Christ" of "through Jesus --> Christ", we're likely to get spammed prior to endure unto the end.

    Servant, of Servant/Friend, is a kNOW not: John 15:15; Galatians 4:7; Philemon 1:16
    Child, of Child/Man, is a kNOW not: 1Corinthians 14:20; Galatians 4; Ephesians 4:14
    Law, of Law/Grace, is a kNOW not: Luke 16:16; Romans 7:6; Romans 8:1; Hebrews 10:9
    Neither of them vs them giving place to law, nor their lord, can inherit the kingdom of God.

All late date advocates Assume (servant) John is the author of Revelation. Ass u me?
John talks a lot about children, my children. Paul talks about "be no more children".
Let us not assume, but let us replace all our erroneous beliefs with kNOW. For the "servant" John notably is in Revelation 1:1 is a kNOW not in John 15:15. In Galatians 4 a child, also a kNOW not, differs nothing from a servant. Neither child (servant) nor their lord inherits the kingdom of God. In Matthew 8:12 it is noted (about children vs children) even the children of the kingdom get cast out. So Paul tells us be not children (carnal) in under-standing get tossed, neither children of the flesh nor children of God, neither children of the wicked nor children of the kingdom. Sides wars have side effects to both sides. God is one neither makes sides nor takes a side. Even if right standing with Jesus we stand in jeopardy every hour: about the space of sinagogues and sin imputing churches service. Two Sons Jesus (division, not peace) was head of CHILDren (servants: slaves). One Son Christ is head of every MAN. A MAN puts away CHILDish things (laws)... is to allegory say Christ (peace, not division) puts away Jesus (division, not peace)... to become harmless. Jesus was not yet perfected while casting out devils and doing cures. Perfected is a third [day] thing, like greatest of great/greater --> greatest is the third of three things, like God of Jesus-->Christ-->God.

Allegoric chanGe began taking place about 2000 years ago:
BC/ADye/youservant/friendchild/manlaw/grace: first/secondsharp/sharper:

So there was a notabe chanGe which took place about 2000 years ago: it was no longer fashionable to be child of child/man, nor servant (prophet) of servant/friend, nor ye of ye/you, which is to say be not law of law/grace, nor sacrifice of sacrifice/mercy, nor division of division/peace. For God is not [the author] of confusion, but of peace. Peace with God is through Jesus --> Christ, in Christ the perfect man: Ephesians 4:13. Not yet perfected Jesus was head of children; But Christ is the head of every man (not child). For God said let us make man (not child). So it's notable the gospel of Paul is not the gospel of Jesus, but the gospel of God: Grace and the gospel of Christ: Peace. 1,2,3John spake a lot about children, especially little (law) children, as my children, as if head of children. Paul said: when I became a man, I put away CHILDish things, like laws and cover ups. Paul also said be no more children (neither children of the wicked nor children of the kingdom). So let's note a chanGe that took place 2000 years ago is from child to man, as if from law to grace:

Example of the old/new (double/single) chanGe noted in Matthew 1:1
Genesis 5: the book of the generations (genealogies) of Adam (in whom all die)
Matthew 1: the book of the generation (genesis) of Jesus-->Christ (in whom all live)

Example of the child/man chanGe noted in Luke 16:16

The law and the prophets were until John, [but]
since that time the kingdom of God is preached,
and every man (of child/man) presseth into it.

Example of the law/grace (lie/truth) chanGe noted in John 1:17
The law (and lie) was given by Moses, but
grace and truth came by Jesus --> Christ

I find it interesting to note converted Peter mentions reading all Paul's epistles, and talks of how grace will have mercy multiplies peace; so grow in grace and the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ (notably unto Christ Jesus folk, but Christ Jesus no longer occurs after 1Peter). Converted Peter also has an allegoric mention of Revelation 20 in 2Peter 3:8. Therein he says: But beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. It reasons 1 day = 1000 years for six days in Genesis 1, if Psalms 90:4 says: a thousand years in thy sight as yesterday when it is past; But not for the seventh day in Genesis 2 has no mention of evening and morning, therefore it's not millennial. But plural thrones and they living and reigning with Christ (of Christ Jesus) is millennial in Revelation 20. It's millennial madness about a day of the LORD (LAW) that is darkness and not light: Amos 5:18. Such a black Sabbath made for man has a "Lord also": Son of man: 'arnion' Lamb: should repent. So it's a last day shewdown to resolve: the day of the LORD (darkness) -vs- the day of God (light). The difference is notable in Noah's Ark allegory, where God (2) is not LORD (7), which is to say mercy is not sacrifice, all good is not both good and evil, grace is not law. The grace Noah found was in the eyes of the LORD (LAW), and it wasn't merciful. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ is.

2Peter 3 notes the day (darkness) of the LORD (LAW) comes as a thief (under-taker) in the night (ignorance), wherein (both) heavens and earth pass away (you don't have either if dead), so we ought to be looking for and hasting unto the day of God; For as the shewdown moves along to the day of God, then old law law heavens being on fire shall be dissolved and the elements (laws) shall melt with fervent heat. Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new (law/grace) heavens and a new earth (let there be light: grace), wherein dwelleth righteousness (grace): the only condition that is acceptable to God, which is diligent peace, without spot (law), and blameless. So then we should not be found playing any blame game, since it inducts players into a hall of shame. If the truth be known, even grace of law/grace is still division, not peace, and still a blame game. Note a difference between plural "Christians" had shame and a singular "Christian" has no shame. In a plural realm there's false/true Christs arise, but in a realm of God is one there's only the truth. So let us consider God is one, but a mediator (in the midst of men and God) is not of one (God).

Many seem to overlook the fact Revelation takes place on a Sabbath (notable by only seven benedictions therein), and Revelation 20 notably mentions a "thousand years" six times. Peter, of Simon/Peter, was called Satan shortly after saying Jesus (division) is Christ (peace). Renamed Peter still rebuked, denied, and dissimulted. He was
later bound in chains in a Roman jail for 1 day called Easter in Acts 12, also loosed after this 1000 years day to deceive nations until his conversion. So it reasons Peter allegorically refers to Revelation 20 in 2Peter 3:8b, and of himself being Satan thereof, who got chained and bound for a 1000 yrs = 1 day (Easter), then loosed to deceive nations as Cephas (his stoney underground popish name). For it reasons when Peter broke jail he went underground as a fugitive of the Roman Empire, later surfacing in Italy as first Pope. Paul uses both Peter and Cephas, even both in Galatians, but the timing is interesting; And when it's Cephas in Galatians it's as three top dogs to beware: James Cephas John, Cephas in the midst. For it's allegory and mystery: allegoric mystery to solve, and every good mystery has twists to it, especially near the end, twists that seduce even the elect if possible. So the objective is to be led by the Spirit unto grace and truth, and the alternative seems to be driven by the Ghost unto temptation. Let us be reminded by James that God neither tempts nor can be tempted; Which is perhaps to say Grace neither laws nor can be lawed.

The timing of the writing of Revelation
    Peter mentions "all Paul's epistles" in 2Peter 3:16, as if to include Hebrews and Revelation.
    Peter makes allegoric reference to Revelation 20's "thousand years" x6 in 2Peter 3:8.
    Peter mentions John "turned" in Revelation 1:12 as "happened" (past tense) in 2Peter 2:22.
    Peter mentions 'apokalypsis' thrice, as revelation, glory be revealed, at the appearing of JC
    So it reasons Peter had read Revelation before he wrote about it in his own general epistles

Since Peter's death occurs about the same time as Paul's death, it reasons the early date for writing Revelation is prior to both their deaths; For Paul writes (sign-ifies) it and Peter mentions reading it, also making allegoric mention of it in his 2nd epistle. So it reasons Revelation (especially the conclusion) isn't written by childish (servantish) John, nor in 90-95AD; But by Paul as a spoof (gotcha) on John still being a servant instead of a friend, a child instead of a man, who turned back to law behind him like a dog turned to his vomit, which Peter mentions happened in 2Peter 2:22. John was as a thorn in Paul's flesh, a messenger of Satan (popish Cephas) to buffet him: 2Cor 12:7. So Paul mentions three top dogs to beware: James Cephas (Peter) John. For when it came to zealous Pharisees (like Saul of Saul/Paul) it was only beware the leaven (doctrine: law, hypocrisy); But when it came to dogs (like James Cephas John) it's beware of dogs, not just their dogma. So Paul not only asks, but also cleverly answers "who bewitched you" in Galatians, which is written "unto the churches", a phrase also notably used seven times in Revelation, but such a phrase is notably only ever used by Paul ... more evidence Paul is the author of Revelation, not John.

    "unto the churches" is only used by Paul: twice in Galatians, seven times in Revelation:  
   1 - Galatians 1:1,2 Paul ... unto the churches of Galatia
    2 - Galatians 1:22 Paul ... unto the churches of Judea

    3 - Revelation 2:7 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches
    4 - Revelation 2:11
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches
    5 - Revelation 2:17 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches
    6 - Revelation 2:29 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches
    7 - Revelation 3:6 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches
    8 - Revelation 3:13 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches
    9 - Revelation 3:22 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches
    Making a total of nine times, and there are nine fruit of the Spirit in Galatians 5,
    where Paul notably clarifies if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law;
    which is a clever way to say James Cephas John were driven by the Holy Ghost.
    James 1:6 mentions wavering like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.
    It seems to apply to many purpose 'driven' sheeple of purpose 'driven' churches; But also begs
    these questions: what's their purpose, who's driving them, and where are they being 'driven' to?
    Perhaps schoolmaster law hasn't led them to true Christ above, but driven them to false Christs.

So it reasons if churches wanna hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches, they should look in Galatians, not in Revelation. For in Revelation the 'arnion' Lamb (not the 'amnos' Lamb of God) bites all seven angels of seven churches of Asia named by Luke in Acts 20:4 as those who accompanied Paul into Asia... more evidence Paul is the author of Revelation, not John.

                Seven angels who accompanied Paul into Asia are listed in Acts 20:4
                           1. Sopater (a Berean), perhaps the angel of the church of Ephesus
                      2. Aristarchus
(a Thessalonian), perhaps the angel of the church in Smyrna
                      3. Secundis
(a Thessalonian), perhaps the angel of the church in Pergamos
                      4. Gaius
(of Derbe),  perhaps the angel of the church in Thyatira
                      5. Timotheous
(of Derbe), perhaps the angel of the church in Sardis
                           
6. Tychius (of Asia), perhaps the angel of the church in Philadelphia
                      7. Trophimus
(of Asia), perhaps the angel of the church of the Laodecians
        Note: Gaius is spoken of in Acts, Romans, Corinthians, 3John (Johnny Law flatters & threatens him)
        Timotheous is spoken of in Acts, Romans, Corinthians, Timothy, and is co-writer of Phil, Col, Thess.

The Uncovering (Revelation) of Saint John, by Paul The Apostle
Now to the title of Revelation. The offical title is "The Revelation of St John The Divine". Since "Revelation" means 'Uncovering' what's previously been covered up, the title reveals it's the Uncovering of a Saint named John who thought himself to be The Divine. Allegorically it's the uncovering of Law many still think is divine. All too often I hear law (lie) lovers, who also think themselves more beloved, telling others to start their Bible reading in John, the only "verily verily" gospel account. Sure John gives us some revelatory info, but also some crap. I also see John 3:16 signs at sports events, but never John 3:17, which says God did not send his Son to condemn (law) the world, rather to save (grace) the world; And said global salvation is not in two Sons Jesus (brought swordy division, not peace), rather it's "through" Jesus --> Christ, in that Christ thereof.

'Saint' John?
When studied out, the term saint, almost always plural and never Capitalized, is not complimentary as supposed. Saints are those who make a covenant with law by sacrifice: Psalms 50. There's fear (hath torment) in the assembly of saints: Psalms 89. Their LORD (LAW) finds the death of saints precious: Psalms 116. Saints sing praises to high God: Law, and have a twoedged sword (not peace) in their hand that executes vengeance and punishments, chains and fetters: Psalms 149. Saints are them who can be prevailed against and wore out: Daniel 7. Saints arise from gravcs as from sleep: Matthew 27. Saints are them sanctified in Christ Jesus: 1Cor 1:2. So it's them sanctified by law and thereby still having necessity and want, they still need to be perfected (graced). So saints seem to childish, servantish, and even devilish until they get perfected. The Lord coming with ten thousand of his saints may allegorically refer to John, who thought of himself as the Lord of children. It's plausible mention of the Lord's brother may allegorically refer to John's brother; and it's plausible popish Peter called his bishop John the Lord, and his bishop John called him Father. For if the Lord coming with ten thousand of his saints refers to a vengeful Jesus, it would an unperfected Jesus, no better than unperfected saints. But Jesus said he would be perfected the third day in Luke 13:32, most likely the prophetic third day, as he still upbraided the eleven when risen; And James 1:5 notes God upbraideth not. Since it's now the prophetic third day (beyond 2000), I think it's time both Jesus and his sheeple got perfected by letting law be dead testator, to establish grace will have mercy multiplies peace. For as Hebrews 9 notes, a testament can only be of force when the testator thereof is dead.

So it reasons John would not be 'uncovering' himself. It only computes when Paul is author of Revelation and wrote it as a spoof on John turned back to law behind him, like a dog to his vomit. When studied out, contention between Paul and other apostles becomes quite evident. Regarding James and John, they moved the ten to "indignation" when wanting to be Left and Right of Jesus. Indignation is a notable consequence of law judging, which is "inexcusable" behaviour in Romans 2. They were surnamed Boanerges: sons of thunder. So Revelation has several mentions of thunder, thunders, thunderings. But as I've noted on the main Revelation page, the uncovering of johnny law is not intended to accuse nor condemn John or anyone; Rather it's more to aware servants what can happen if they don't flush law as dung. Revelation is prophecy x7, but not prophecy that should happen; Rather what to avoid via the LET expiriment: LET there be light (grace), not both light and darkness (grace and law: good and evil). LET grace be sufficient, by LET law be dead testator. LET law prophecies fail, so grace prophesy (edify --> exhort ---> to comfort only) prevails for all. Revelation prophecy is designed to fail by not being sealed. The point of such is we cannot e-stablish eternal Grace Mercy Peace until we stop the non eternal lawing: lying, dying, and crying.

Schoolmaster: Law: the sort of master witch fails every student.
Law does not lead sheeple unto true Christ (is the end of the law).
Ghost-ly Law drives sheeple to false Christs, wretchedness thereof.
Example: many purpose driven people of purpose driven churches.
Example: James 1:6's "wavering": "driven" with the wind, and tossed.
Example: James 3:4's fellow-"ships": "driven" of fierce winds (laws).

The Gospel According To John?
As for the fourth Gospel According To John, it's the only "verily verily" gospel account of four; And therein John is more beloved, but it's only "according to John". Those who love flattery are particularly fond of the gospel according to John. It has two resurrections, both from the grave, as if a double minded good and evil johnny law sides war is continued in the grave. John is not only a grave gospel of division, but the latter of his two resurections is the "resurrection of damnation". On the other hand John mentions "eternal life" a dozen times in his four writings, notably more than any other New Testament writer; But John treats it as a given, rather than what to lay hold on and not let go. Furthermore grave and eternal life are contrary things; For eternal life is not life after death, but life void of death. So when reading the writings of John we ought to give more earnest heed to the wording, to avoid seduction. For Paul flat out names John as one of the bewitchers of churches; And there is a reason Luke's two writings sandwich the gospel according to John.

Not wrong, just more to learn;
For there's no wrong in Grace.

Revelation 1:1
The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things
which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John:

We should notice John is called a servant (slave, prophet), which is not a friend, brother, or son. John 15:15 notes a servant is a kNOW not, so it reasons John wouldn't write about himself as being a servant. Servants is also an allegoric term for prophets; But Luke 16:16 also notes such is also a kNOW not. Galatians 4 notes servants (slave) and children differ nothing, both being a kNOW not. ChanGe from servant/friend and from child/man (allegorically law/grace) took place 2000 yrs ago. For law (which had servants: prophets: children: night visions) had an expiry date (fulness of time). The Gospel According to John does have lots to say about servants; But 1,2,3 John have no mention of servant. Eg: The high priest's servant, who's right ear swordy Peter cut off, was named "Malchus": meaning 'king or kingdom'. In Matthew 18 it's notably a servant who gets both forgiven and unforgiven, tormented afterward. Furthermore in Revelation 1:1 John is the recipient, neither the sender nor signifier of a revelatory "shew" unto "servants" (slaves, children, prophets), to shew what can happen if they don't flush law as dung. John is not his angel. John is never referred to as an apostle of Jesus Christ, only as an apostle of two Sons Jesus who was head of CHILDren. John was of the twelve: a dirty dozen: a hung jury. Even when John was of the eleven, he's upbraided for unbelief by risen Jesus. Rather Paul, who is "his angel" (minister), always refers to himself as an apostle of Jesus Christ, and by the will of God. So it only computes if Paul is author of Revelation, written as satire about John still being a servant (slave) of sin (law) when John bewitched churches.

The notable allegoric chanGe from the law and prophets to grace and truth via Son, is as if
chanGe from child/man  then/now  ye/you  servant/friend  law/grace  lie/truth  spake/spoke:

                The law and the prophets (servants: slaves) were until John (the Baptist), ... first
                 [but] since that time the kingdom of God (grace and truth) is preached,  ... second
                  and every man (of child/man) presseth into it: Luke 16:16

                        The law (as if the lie) was given by Moses, but      ... first
                        grace and truth came by Jesus Christ: John 1:17  ... second

                    Henceforth I call you not servants ... but friends: John 15:15
                    For a servant is a kNOW not ... but kNOWn is as unto a friend: you

Hebrews (a mini bible) 1:
prophets<--time past<--them<--spake<---GOD-->spoke-->us-->last days-->Son (better)

Hebrews 10:9
He taketh away the first,
that he may establish the second


The first verse of Revelation is quite revealing. The first thing noted therein is The Revelation (Uncovering) of Jesus Christ. Combined with the Title of Revelation: The Revelation (Uncovering) of John it makes for two Revelations: two Uncoverings; Which allegorically speaks of the two child/man blessed(s) intended for compare-i-son in Psalms 32:1,2 (Romans 4:7,8). The "blessed" in Revelation 1:3 is the childish (devilish) sort of law blessed and cursed, blessed which law imputes sin and covers it, but uncovers it later to bite and smite like the 'arnion' Lamb does in Revelation. Worse thing I ever heard about Revelation 1:3 is what Kenneth Copeland said on National TV: that after 25 yrs of preaching faith the only thing he knew about Revelation was that he got blessed by reading it according to Revelation 1:3. Sheesh, anyone getting blessed by such apocalypse is $icko. So it's as if comparing John (law) with JC (grace and truth) to see who's got what it takes to be "The Divine". Of the two uncoverings only one is God given; And the uncovering (revelation) of JC is not found in Revelation, but in the gospels and the epistles, mainly in the Pauline Epistles. Paul is always clarified as an apostle of Jesus Christ (not of Christ Jesus, which is mirrorly the reverse), and notably by the will of God to have mercy (grace), and not sacrifice (law). Of several biblical titles given to Paul, one is notably his witness unto all men, including double minded John who saw both good and evil (law), not good only (grace). Yet it's mainly as a steward of "the mysteries of God" by which Paul writes Revelation; As if keeping the allegoric "mystery" aspect going until the very end where he sign-ifies it by his own hand. As such Revelation is like a final exam which many fail by assuming John wrote it.

            John is mentioned Five times
in Revelation; But...
            Revelation 1:1 ... unto his servant John
            Revelation 1:4 ... John to the seven churches (twisted greeting)
            Revelation 1:9 ... I John, brother and companion in tribulation
            Revelation 21:2 ... I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem
            Revelation 22:8 ... I John saw these things

...mention of John five times in Revelation is allegoric satire for the five books of Moses (called "the law" of "the law and the prophets" in Luke 16:16), which Jesus Christ (gives no place to law) called five in one house divided: Luke 12:52; And said your house is left, unto you desolate to such law law Jerusalem Jerusalem: Matthew 23:38 (Luke 13:35). A phrase also used five times in Revelation allegorically denoting the law (wrath to come) is: "he which is, and was, and is to come". If we count the title, it actually makes six mentions of John, but six is still the number of a man, and The Divine is not a man that he should lie (law), nor son of man that he should repent: Num 23:19.

Revelation 1:1 ... unto his servant John
As noted earlier, mention of John in Revelation 1:1 calls John a "servant", which is a kNOW not in John 15:15, where servant/friend chanGe is law/grace chanGe John previously noted in John 1:17. It's as a child/man chanGe noted about law and prophets(servants)/kingdom of God in Luke 16:16, which Paul mentions in 1Cor 13: when I became a man (grace), I put away childish things (laws). It concurs with the child blessed/man blessed chanGe noted in Psalms 32:1,2 (Romans 4:7,8) when Hebrews 10:9 is applied: he taketh away the first (law), that he may establish the second (grace).
                            John 1:17
            The law was given by Moses,
            but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
                            John 15:15
            Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth:
            but I have called you friends; for all things I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.
John is neither the sender nor the signifier, but the recipient of the revelation (uncovering). So John as author of Revelation does not compute. It only computes when Paul is author of Revelation (sender and signifier) doing an allegoric gotcha (spoof, uncovering) about thorny law dog John (bewitched his churches) turning back to law behind him like a dog turned to his vomit, which Peter says happened (past tense): 2Peter 2:22, as if having read Revelation of John and referring to it.

Revelation 1:4 ... John to the seven churches (twisted greeting)
Revelation 1:4 gives the greeting as if being from John, but because John (Law) is mentioned as the greeter, it is a twisted greeting (see the link for the details). Included among the law (worketh wrath) "is and was and is to come" (a phrase also used five times in Revelation) are seven spirits, denote worse-end state of man in Matthew 12:45 as if more the child of hell in Matthew 23:15. As James 1 notes, this sort of man having this sort of religion is vain religion: all vanity and vexation. Therefore this greeting is not the holy kiss of Paul: Grace and Peace from the higher God and Son; Nor the kiss of charity (pure grace: never fails nor ever forsakes) converted Peter says greet one another with. It's plausible thorny John wrote a harmful book (of death) unto the seven churches of Asia, but it's also more than plausible Revelation is written by Paul as a satire about it; And only because Revelation contains the last trump: the token of Paul, does the apocalypse thereby become a harmless book of life when endured unto the end of law. For when it's properly ended, as written, with no mention of law (sin and death), then law: sin: death never happened nor ever will happen. There's no law nor sin imputation nor death sting in pure grace that's with you all, against none. The last singular "Amen" to that voids the nine other erroneous "Amen"s to law in Revelation.

Revelation 1:9 ... I John, brother and companion in tribulation
As for John mentioned in Revelation 1:9 as a brotherly companion in tribulation, note tribulation is a consequence of law judging: inexcusable behavior in Romans 2. So let's not be companion (partner, partaker) in such inexcusable behavior which brings about tribulation: oppression, affliction, distress of the apocalyptic sort. JC gave no place to tribulation (law) in Matthew 24:21 by saying such "was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be"; after saying "then shall be" great tribulation, which is reverse worded as a question, not as a statement. If we look closer at Revelation 1:9 we find being companion (partner) in both tribulation and the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ is an oxymoron: mixture of contrary things (law vs grace). As for John being in Patmos, it's likely he was sent there for his involvement in Peter's jail break after the death of his brother James (Acts 12), and for stirring up Jews against Rome: which eventually resulted in war, destruction of law law Jerusalem Jerusalem, death & captivity (again) of millions of Jews. Such johnny law things happened prior to 70AD. The temple, mentioned oft as still standing in Revelation (until Revelation 21), got destroyed in 70AD. Lukewarm Laodicea was devastated by an earthquake about 60AD. So it reasons John's Patmos vision was prior to 60AD, and like unto a "night vision" (law night mare) Daniel the law prophet (servant) also had. For when in the Spirit (led by grace and truth thereof), the only thing behind you is law: Galatians 5:17. As for the word of God: grace: it's sharper than any twoedged sword (law law) two Sons Jesus brought: Matthew 10:34; Hebrews 4:12. For a sharp twoedged sword (law law: Revelation 1:16; 2:12; 2:16; 6:4; 6:8; 13:10; 13:14; 19:15; 19:21) spake of vengeance and punishments, chains and fetters: Psalms 149, of Death and hell, captivity and killing, biting and smiting: Revelation, and of her (strange woman) end: an end as bitter as wormwood: Proverbs 5; James 3; Revelation 8 & 10. As for the testimony of Jesus Christ, it's notably the spirit (grace: giveth life) and not the letter (law: killeth) of prophecy: 2Corinthians 3:6; Revelation 19:10. Law kills. Grace gives life.

Revelation 21:2 ... I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem
As for what John saw: the holy city, new Jerusalem, let's note there's a stumblingstone to stumble on and fall (from Grace --> Law: Galatians 5:4) also laid in Sion: the heavenly Jerusalem seven, in which Jesus (of Christ --> Jesus) is mediator. But God is one, and a mediator is not of one (God): Galatians 3: where it asks wherefore then [serveth] the law ... in the hand of a mediator; Also noting the law is not of faith (whatsoever is not of faith is sin: Romans 14:23) being why "no man (of child/man) is justified by the law in the sight of God" as being what's evident when looking at all the evidence. Sacrifice is by the law. So what johnny law prophet saw is similar to what the first martyr Stephen saw, which notably got him cast out of the city and stoned to death: Acts 7:55-58. For what Stephen saw, by being full of the Holy Ghost (Law), was Jesus (Law) standing right of LAW (the God on high), which is as if seeing the abomination of desolation (Law) Daniel spoke of stand in the holy place, where it ought not stand; Since the LORD (LAW) said to the Lord (Law) sit at my right hand until I make thine enemies thy footstool. For vengeance is mine, saith LAW to Law. Which things are an "allegory": Galatians 4, and "mystery", allegoric mystery to solve.

True Grace has no enemies at all, only friends,
because it has no enmity (law: Ephesians 2:15);
So then we're obviously talking about the Law.

Furthermore what John saw was the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down (descending, falling) out of (high) heaven, instead of ascending into (higher) heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband ('arnion' Lamb: Son of man; whose wife hath made herself ready: Revelation 19). So it reasons, allegorically, this holy city, new Jerusalem, prepared bride, wife of nasty 'arnion' Lamb, got so drunk on law (self-righteousness, righteousness of the saints) that she falls out of heaven. For analyzing another 7 of Sinai 7/Sion 7: heavenly Jerusalem in Hebrews 12: we find these things:
- it seems to be right of left/right, but only to them still preferring swordy division instead of peace
- it's still "ye" (do err) of ye/you who are come unto mount Sion; But it's "you" called "friends".
- it's the city of the "living God" (fearful & fall: Heb 10:31), not world of "the God of the living".
- the company (murias) of angels (angellos) is innumerable because it always changes; twice: ten thousand times ten thousand, twice: two hundred thousand thousand, once: ten thousand, etc .
- general assembly is a festal gathering at public games or other solemnities like religious meetings.
- church of the firstborn is Adamic in nature (creatures fit for destruction), like Essau was firstborn.
- written in heaven is like a tax roll based on property and income, a law thing having punishment.
- God the Judge of all is Law (krites) which (krino) judges all guilty as hell, inexcusable in Rom 2.
- spirits (plural: good and evil) of just men (law abiding folk) made perfect is a never ending thing; for this sort of made perfect is as being made one proselyte: twofold: more the child in Matthew 23.
- Jesus (Law: Jehovah is salvation) the mediator (a mediator is not of one, but God is one: Gal 3).
- mediator of the new covenant is like mediating spoiled know not warring children vs children; For what's new of old/new testaments is better of good better best, but only better for some, not all, like greater of great greater greatest is in the midst, trying to be a mediator between plural and one.
- the blood of sprinkling does speak better things than Abel's blood, like forgive is better than be vengeful, and love is better than hate. But this blood shed of purifying (does not purge all things) is still blood shed instead of unshed blood that both nourishes and cleanses the entire body. Furthermore think no evil doesn't perceive any evil to forgive; perfect love has no enemies to love. So we need to get above and beyond this double minded good and evil mentality that perceives evil, has enemies, and believes God (will have mercy, not sacrifice) finds a better sacrifice acceptable. It's a lie, and all the lying, crying, and dying begins with lying: being lovers or makers of lies (laws). We need to endure unto abolition of law and real-ize abolition of law is also abolition of sacrifice. Sacrifice is by the law, and sacrifice (death) is what God will not have, not then, not now, not ever.

Revelation 22:8 ... I John saw these things and heard
These things John saw and heard were shewn him by an angel who said he was a fellow-servant, and of John's brethren, and of the prophets, and of them which keep the (good and evil) sayings of this book. So 22 chapters later we're right back at servant, a kNOW not in John 15:15.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all. Amen.
