Strange then that a Book of Revelation dated between 68-90AD can be referenced as stolen from a nation or faith that no longer exists. And the reference to 7 Christian (historically proven to exist during the 1st and early 2nd century) clearly was stolen from archived Jewish writings.....NOT. Just how stupid are the folks from which you parroted this propaganda THINK all people to be?
    Matthew was written about 80 AD.. Of course the " 7 churches" or communities existed. More Jews lived outside of Palestine by the time of Christ's birth than lived in it.

    And this explains how you can prove that "JOHN" stole the Book of Revelation from archived Hebrew Scriptures? Why deliver the message in Greek....instead of the original Hebrew language? And we are still awaiting you to point out What Hebrew writings mentioned Rome as being the destroyer of Jerusalem as predicted by the Christ in Matthew 24. How long should we wait....forever?

    You do know that the Christ pointed out to the folks of His generation that they would see the destruction of Jerusalem within the time period of their own generation?

    Because Greek and Aramaic were the languages used at the time. Hebrew was for all practical purposes a dead language at the end of the Babylonian exile.

    Prophecy and prophets and apocryphal writings were very popular. Palestine was crawling with prophets. They even had schools for prophets.

    Keep changing the names. It doesn't change the meaning.

    The book of revelations, specifically the 7 churches referenced, is a book for believers. It is not so much intended to tell us of Christ’s return, but as a warning of what to avoid within our ranks before his return; lack of faithfulness, modeling worldliness, and not Christcentric practices.

    There exists plenty of corruption amongst those calling themselves Christian, there has been in each generation. Is this the point you are trying to make?

    No.. I am just interested in the Bible, archaeology and the history of the first century.

    If this is the worst Christianity has to offer then it speaks pretty highly of the religion.

    So long as the writers you use in your "interest" comport with your predisposed views?

    Who do you believe the 7 churches in Revelation referred to? Was the reference literal, or "apocalyptic" in its meaning?
    Here is a brief synopsis you should enjoy.
    TRUMP! TRUMP! TRUMP! TRUMP! TRUMP! TRUMP! TRUMP!

    Ok, but we're they representative of only those Churches, or a warning to all of Christ's churches?

    You don't have to go back in time very far at all to find plenty of ppl who would vehemently disagree with you. We have indigenous elders here in this area that would quietly tell you how very wrong you are about that. Children were forcibly taken from their families, forced into "boarding schools" where they were forbidden to speak their language or practice their spirituality, beaten, deprived of food and love, and in some cases they died. This was within your lifetime, and mine.

    I think the letter is specific to the people of the first century not 2000 years in the future.
