It is my opinion that the chapter of Revelations does not belong in the Holy Bible. I base this opinion upon my studies and the blatantly obvious difference between this chapter, and the rest of the New Testament. The history of the chapter, from the Catholic Church archives, is that this chapter was added in 349, during the first Catholic Synod. This synod, gathering, was called 25 years after the Counsel of Nicaea. It was a necessary major editing, as the original Bible had a huge number of contradictions, due to the limited language competency of the original church leaders in 324 AD. Coming from hand written texts ( schroll's ), written in Greek, Latin, Aramaic, and Hebrew. Edits would be made throughout the new testament, 3 whole chapters would be dropped, and the Chapter of Revelations would be created by the state.
The Church of Rome, was the original name for this new church, as the Roman Emperor was the Pope. Unfortunately, the fairy tale of Constantine's covenant with Jesus, lays in complete contradiction with the 5 gospel chapters; Mathew, Mark, Luke, John and Acts. As I read the history of Rome, prior to its fall, Constantine saw the end, and crafted a plan to separate the empire from the wealth and plundered possessions from over 6 centuries of war. The emperor would remaing emperor in 349, and a separate state and Pope would be housed in Vatican City, Rome could fall, but the new Roman Catholic Church would retain its wealth and power. It seems to have worked, as we recognize the church as the wealthiest entity in the modern world.
Many theological historians believe that there was a second major concern of the Pope and Church of Rome. The first Bible had frequent references to a compassionate father who's creation had a soul that remained after the end of life, and came back. This, it is reported, left the Pope with a disobedient mass of Roman Catholic's who felt they didn't have to be good Christians during the present life, better luck next time. Hence the crafting of the chapter Revelations. It is the only book of the Bible or Talmud that uses the phrase alpha and omega, which is neither Hebrew or Aramaic. It is of a Latin, Greek root, and reflected the human not sacred inspirations of the text.
Revelations has many reasons for remaining in the Holy Bible. The authors captured significant portions of the prophetic chapters in the Old Testament as well as heavily planned inclusion of mythologies of the common, illiterate masses. The majority of Catholics, Romans and Greeks considered it to be of the same sources as the rest of the New Testament. It added a very important inclusion on behalf of the Empire and the Pope. It was the inclusion of a time restricted, approaching "end of times". The thief at the door. This created an urgency for people to get their teaching's right. Thus, the decree's of the Pope and church held both a spiritual consequence and a physical truth or consequences timeline.
These are the reasons that I believe the book of Revelations is a fraud. Good day y'all.
