Revelations: A False Prophecy

Luke 6:44 For every tree is known by its own fruit. For from thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes. (KJV) The point of this debate is discuss the merit of the book of Revelations as found in the Christian Bible. I hope to demonstrate and show evidence that the book of Revelations is real-world example of the false prophets and teachers Jesus Christ of the Gospels spoke of to his disciples. Matthew 7:15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. (KJV) My goal is to identify the "fruit" that Revelations bears as well as use scripture to show proof of the erroneous nature of the book. There will be 3 rounds, this being my first. All rebuttals must use scripture to refute any point unless that scripture has already been used, then the round may be used to speak further of priorly quoted verses. For the sake of this debate, all statements must be backed up by scripture, excluding the book of Revelations itself, as the point of this debate is the validity of it's contents. You may use any text in Revelations if you are cross-referencing said text with other scripture found in the Christian Bible. I am not familiar with the Apocryphal texts and for the sake of this debate, these should not be included, we are not debating their legitimacy. --- My case is clear. I believe that the Christian Bible contains many verses, from both Christ and prophets alike that clearly discredit and cast doubt on the book of Revelations. For the majority of this debate I will be focusing on the words and actions of Christ, as found in the four Gospels and those supposedly found in Revelations. My first argument is this, John of Patmos, author of Revelations, did not in fact speak to Jesus in Revelations, so we must assume that everything found in Revelations is a lie. - John 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. (KJV) - Jesus plainly told his disciples that they would receive the Holy Ghost, not that he himself would speak to them once he left this world. John of Patmos however claims differently, in fact, he claims an angel spoke to him, when Christ decreed that only the Holy Ghost would do such things. "He shall teach you all things", not some, but all. Jn 14:26 - Revelations 1:1-2 1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John: 2 Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw (KJV) - John Patmos clearly states that this is the testimony of Jesus Christ. But Christ said in the gospels: - Mark 13:21-23 21 And then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ; or, lo, he is there; believe him not: 22 For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect. 23 But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things. (KJV) - In verse 23 Jesus Christ clearly contradicts the entire premise of the book of Revelations. As found on www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/revelation, the meaning of the word revelation is clear: : a usually secret or surprising fact that is made known : an act of making something known : an act of revealing something in usually a surprising way : something that surprises you Christ has "foretold you all things" and yet Revelations discredits His statement, as He clearly stated that he had no more "secret or suprising fact" to be "made known." He had already revealed all that would be revealed. The testimony in Revelations is erroneous. So either the Jesus of the Gospels was a liar, or John of Patmos authored a false prophecy. - Revelations 22:6 And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things which must shortly be done. (KJV) - And so I present the first fruit of the Book of Revelations; confusion. - 1 Corinthian 14:33 For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints. (KJV) -
