This site is dedicated to exposing the Apocalypse of John, which is the last book in the New Testament, and also commonly known as the Book of Revelation.
Quotations from Scripture are from the New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition.
When Jesus was questioned by his disciples about when the end would occur, he said the following:
And he said, “Beware that you are not led astray, for many will come in my name and say, ‘I am he!’[a] and, ‘The time is near!’[b] Do not go after them.
Luke 21:8
Now look at what John of Patmos says (underlining added for emphasis):
The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show his servants what must soon take place, and he made it known by sending his angel to his servant John, who testified to the word of God and to the testimony of Jesus Christ, even to all that he saw. Blessed is the one who reads the words of the prophecy, and blessed are those who hear and who keep what is written in it, for the time is near.
Revelation 1:1-3
This unnamed angel comes in the name of Jesus and claims that the time is near. The warning given by Jesus undoubtedly applies here. He must have foreseen the monstrous deception that was to come.
False messiahs[a] and false prophets will appear and produce signs and wonders, to lead astray, if possible, the elect. But be alert; I have already told you everything.
Mark 13:22-24
Why would Jesus need to come back some 60 years after his crucifixion to give revelations, if he had already told everything in advance? Did he forget to give them while he was on this earth?
Many people will have noticed that the messenger who gives the revelation is not Jesus Christ, but an angel that stays anonymous. This is highly suspicious, because in other known instances Jesus appeared to people directly, not through an angelic intermediary. If Jesus is the mediator and bridge between man and God, why would he use an angel to give a revelation to a man? A possibility we must consider is that John was really seeing a fallen angel or lying spirit.
The themes of the Book of Revelation are vengeance and dominance. These have been the way of the world for millennia, and still are. They have resulted in endless wars, hatred, and bloodshed. In the Book of Revelation, "God" and "Jesus" torment their enemies before violently destroying them and then the entire world.
Now contrast this with the Gospels, where Jesus teaches, for example, the following things:
How can this message be reconciled with the one in the Book of Revelation? It is said that God is love, but his love is not even mentioned in the Book of Revelation. Would Jesus command his disciples to love their enemies and do good to them, if he himself then hates his enemies and destroys them or tortures them in hell for eternity?
In the Book of Revelation, "Jesus" calls himself "the morning star".
It is I, Jesus, who sent my angel to you with this testimony for the churches. I am the root and the descendant of David, the bright morning star.
Revelation 22:16
But the following verse from Isaiah has been traditionally understood to refer to Lucifer, the fallen angel:
How you are fallen from heaven, O Morning Star, son of Dawn! How you are cut down to the ground, you who laid the nations low!
Isaiah 14:12
Are Jesus and Lucifer both morning stars? Or, is the Jesus in the Book of Revelation a counterfeit Jesus, possibly even Lucifer pretending to be Jesus? When we consider all the evidence so far, the latter option seems to be a real possibility.
It was recognized by scholars in antiquity and is recognized by biblical scholars today that the Gospel of John and the Apocalypse of John are written by different people. The vocabulary and grammar is very different (in the original Greek, not visible in the translations). The Gospel of John was written in fluent Greek by a native speaker, while the Apocalypse was written by someone who is not a native speaker of Greek. However, church tradition has taught that both were written by the Apostle John. That belief was one of the reasons that the Revelation was included in the canon.
Every Christian today knows about the Apocalypse of John, but few know about the non-canonical Apocalypse of Peter. However, things were different in the first few centuries AD. Many churchmen would have preferred to include the Apocalypse of Peter instead of the Apocalypse of John, and others would have included neither, and yet others would have included both. This shows that there was no clear agreement in the early church on which texts were "from God" and which were not.
