The Apocalypse Deception: The Book of Revelation is not what it claims to be

by Fred Harding

THE INCREDIBLE DISCOVERY THAT THE BOOK OF REVELATION HAS BEEN A MONSTROUS DECEPTION WHICH HAS FOOLED CHRISTIANS FOR ALMOST 2000 YEARSThe Apocalypse, also known as the Book of Revelation is the last book of the New Testament. It begins with these "The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to show unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw." (Revelation. 1:1)Those words are not those of Jesus Christ, contrary to the claims of its author. Transmitted through an unnamed angel, they are part of a monstrous deception that has plagued Christianity ever since they were first penned. Furthermore, contrary to popular belief, the Apocalypse was not written by John the Apostle, the son of Zebedee nor is it.Who then wrote the Apocalypse? He is the same person that John the Elder confronted in the Roman Baths of Ephesus and called "the enemy of the Truth". If as I will show, that the Book of Revelation was written by this person, then clearly, he is an enemy of the Truth, the Apocalypse cannot be included the Christian Canon of the New TestamentThis book expands upon the scholarly work, "The Apocalypse" written by R.H. Charles in 1920, the famous scholar widely recognised as the greatest authority of his time in matters of Jewish eschatology and apocrypha. Now take heed of a prophecy that Jesus made about a future time after his crucifixion."Watch out that you are not deceived. For many will come in my name, claiming, 'I am he,' and, 'The time is near.' Do not follow them." (Luke 21:8)Do not follow anyone who says "the time is near" Jesus says. Do not be deceived he says. Yet this is exactly what the writer of the Apocalypse says."Do not seal up the words of the prophecy of this scroll, because the time is near." (Revelation 22:10)As a Christian, as long as you adhere to the words of Jesus and the Apostles recorded in the Gospels and the other writings of the New Testament, then the council of John the Elder, the disciple that Jesus loved and the author of the Fourth Gospel, will serve you well. "So He said to the Jews who had believed Him, 'If you continue in My word, you are truly My disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.'" (John 8:32)May this book set you free, but this it will not do unless you are willing look past your prejudices, seek the truth and read it. You will not regret it if you do.

Very Good, but I do not agree with the ultimate premise

I do agree with the original premise that Revelation is not what it claims to be, but I also reject most of Daniel's apocalypse, from Daniel 7 onward. Likewise, I rejected Ezekiel, and others who predicted violent cataclysm. The destruction of the Temple is the abomination of desolation. And it was done because the Jews turned away from God's commandment to worship only him, to instead revere the Temple and the Torah. The other signs were in regard to Jesus's death and resurrection.
I looked carefully through the Gospel. All which had Jesus making dire end times predictions? (Matthew, Mark, and Luke) They mention signs in the sky, then at Jesus's death there is a sign in the sky. Basically, the land goes dark for hours. Not only is this well beyond the level of super-eclipse, but it's an impossible feat to have such an eclipse during Passover (you would get a lunar eclipse, not a solar eclipse).

Bottom line? Jesus's first coming fulfilled what God intends. To hold out hope for a second coming is to reject that Jesus fulfilled his task as Messiah.
