The Authorship Between Revelation And The Gospel Of John

Comparing and contrasting different written works is a key aspect to discovering truths about the Christian Bible. When we compare and contrast canonical books, we can learn many things about the theology and context in which these books were written. Today, we will be comparing two books from the New Testament: Hebrews and Revelation. While Hebrews is often referred to as an epistle, it is actually more similar to a sermon. Revelation is a book that describes a supposed “vision” from the author John. John wrote this vision down on the instruction of a heavenly figure. While we compare these books, we will specifically focus on their relation to Judaism and their positions on Judaism. We will examine three major difference and/or similarities: Their views on the relevance of Jewish History, the superiority of Christ, and, the Second coming of the Messiah.

John the Apostle is not only the author of Revelation, but also of the gospel of John. John contains themes that are similar to Revelation and reveals just why God came to earth for man, and the significance of accepting him for eternal life. Both books focus on God’s love for mankind. There are some disputes that Revelation is written by a different John than John the Apostle because the style of the two books are different, but most christians agree that the book of John and Revelation are both written by John the Apostle because “some typical words occurred in both books but not in others, like ‘the Word, the Lamb, the Victory…’ also the word ‘truth’ was repeated in both books” (Malaty 4). Both of these books are vital in the bible and help

"It appears, that of all the apostle John was especially favoured with our Lord's regard and confidence, so as to be called the

Smith’s paper, like most people, Brandon felt that John the Seer wrote Revelation. This seems to be a largely controversial topic of who actually wrote Revelation. John the Apostle [Apocalypse prezi] was thought to have been the author of this book of the Bible due to tradition, the similarities to the Gospel of John and 1 John. On the contrary, there is no clear apostolic claim and John is the least apocalyptic of the Gospels. Secondly, John the Baptist (Ford) [Apocalypse prezi] could have also been the author of this book in the bible because chapters 4 to 11 are the original core of the apocalypse. Furthermore, John the Baptist (Ford) could be suspected to be the author because of the pre-Jesus theology about him. Another possibility is that the later expansion by a discipline of John (Chapters 12 to 22) and then of Christ (Chapters 1 to 3 in the Christian Interpolations) allowed for him to be a suspected author. Thirdly, John a disciple of John the Apostle (could it be John the Elder?) [Apocalypse Prezi] explains affinities to and differences from gospels although there is no clear record of any such person. Finally, Revelation could be pseudonymous [Apocalypse Prezi] meaning to be written under a fictitious name, which was common in apocalyptic literature. From my perspective, Revelation was either written by John the Apostle or John the Baptist (Ford). The reason I feel this way is because of the evidence that supports the both of them,

In comparison to many of the initially accepted books of the Biblical canon, John’s book of Revelation was written decades later, around 96 CE, and was forced to address the failure of the kingdom’s arrival. Many earlier Biblical books argued that God’s kingdom was imminent and would arrive swiftly, but the passing of time may have led to a gradual decrease in this sense of urgency and, by extension of this, religious faith in Jesus and his teachings. In response to this, John’s contemporaries faced him with a unique challenge to renew their eschatological beliefs and answer the mystery behind the delayed coming of the kingdom of God. Within the book of Revelation, John encourages his readers to strengthen their belief in the urgency behind

Authorship QThe author of John is anonymous. The Gospel of John—claims to be an eyewitness account, the testimony of the unnamed “disciple whom Jesus loved.” ( https://www.biblicalarchaeology.org/daily/biblical-topics/new-testament/gospel-of-john-commentary-who-wrote-the-gospel-of-john-and-how-historical-is-it/) . The book of John names the writer as the Beloved Disciple.

The author makes mention of the Johnnies writing and the fathers as strong evidence of John the apostle writing the epistle (Jensen. 466). The epistle was written around A.D. 90 from the city of Ephesus.

In the Book of Revelation, Jesus' apostle John takes account of his visions of what happened, what is happening, and what will happen in the foreseeable future. The Book of Revelation is considered a major archetypal text on the grounds of its afflatus of many other theories including, but not delimited to the idea of the end of the world. There have been many offsets of ideas coming from the root of the Book of Revelation which is the Second Coming and the end of the world.

The seven churched John wrote to were Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea. The churches John was writing to struggled with poverty, heresy, and dissension. But Revelation is also an open letter to all Christians, including those of us who follow Christ today. Revelation challenged believers to remain loyal to the truth and persevere amidst their suffering.

The book of John is the 4th of the gospels. It follows the first three pretty well but also differs from them in many ways. It was said to be written by John but they also say that John was never truly mentioned as the author and that he constantly refers to himself as the “disciple whom Jesus loved”. A lot of scholars say that there were multiple authors to this book and there are even scholars who think that because he never refers to himself as John, that it was never written by him at all. This book was written around AD 90-710. The biggest debate over the authorship of this book is due to the fact that the book of John is very slandering towards the Jewish community. It focuses a lot on how much the God disliked the Jews and how they were constant opponents to Jesus. Scholars have even gone as far to say that John was anti-Semitic and have tried to have the book removed because of its hateful tone. For example, in chapter 8 it states the Jews father is Satan. However, a lot of people will go on to say that this is just a literary example of the constant conflict the Christian church had with the Jewish community. With all that being said there are plenty of people that think this gospel is the best because John spent the most time with Christ and went on to write other books such as Revelation.

The book of revelation is the last official book in the Bible. Written approximately around AD 95 by the apostle John, Revelation consists of 22 chapters telling of Jesus' return to earth and when Satan will meet his ultimate demise. John wrote Revelation while in prison with the intentions of encouraging believes to watch in hope for the return of their savior. The book of revelation is important as it prepares Christians for the days to come in which we will face many trials and temptations as Jesus returns. An example of the encouragement for Christians found in Revelation is found in chapter 1 verse 3 which states,"Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of the prophecy, and heed the things which are written in it; for the

The three alternative proposals to John’s authorship Johannine Letters introduced by Köstenberger and colleagues are (1) an unknown elder in the so-called "Johannine community"; (2) a follower of the apostle John, and (3) the legendary "John the elder" in Asia Minor. There are two ways to examine the evidence of John’s authorship. The first manner is to view the text internally, or ways in which the authorship of John is supported within the writing. The second of which is to approach the text externally, considering factors outside of the text that would support a specific side of the proposition. Internally, the similarities between the gospel of John and the Johannine letter are too immense to ignore. In fact, Köstenberger states, “The similarities are so numerous and multifaceted that they dwarf any perceived differences by comparison.” That being said, simply similarities are not all that the text have in common. Other internal evidences include similarity in language. For example, Christ is referred to as the ‘word’ in the very beginning of both text (John 1:1, 14

The book of Revelation was written by the Apostle John during 85-95 A.D. The purpose of the book of Revelation is to encourage believers that the day is coming when the whole world will be judged, and that our redemption is near. To non believers it is to warn them of the day that they will be judged, and the day when they will have to pay for their sins. When John wrote the book of Revelation he was deserted on the island of Patmos, and an angel came to him and gave him the vision. John describes the seven seals and how Jesus is the only one worthy to open them. He also describes the seven bowls, or seven plagues that will be poured out upon the earth. John explains that even after hail is raining down on the earth people will still not repent.

This essay will show contrasts in views on the Gospel of John regarding authorship,dates, and the relationship between John's Gospel and the Gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke. Some comparison of thought, concerning composition and life setting, will also be presented.
