Bible Question: Is the book of Revelation just came from the Book of Ezekiel, can you help me to prove that John realy had a vision when he wrote the book of Revelation, when did he wrote it and what is the proof that he realy wrote it? |
Bible Answer: Hi, Flordeliz! Throughout the Bible we will find one particular theme: Jesus! Genesis 3:15 speaks on the battle for the Throne of God and on the future battle against Christ and His brethren... this concise account is expanded in Revelation 12--this chapter offers a larger view of both battles! The Holy Spirit inspired holy servants of God to write all of the books that conform the Bible... so it is not surprising that the prophecies and the Salvation theme are recounted or reestablished throughtout the texts of the Bible! Sometimes there are prophets that pick up on the previous presentations of the prophets that came before them... and there are times when certain prophets are commanded to present Yahweh's arguments in a very distinct manner (as it is the case of Hosea where Yahweh tells him to marry a woman that will be unfaithful as will the children he will have with her)... What I find extremely wonderful is how all these writings by so many people in such an expansive amount of time have such correlations and singular objective: to teach us about God's Love, Patience and Mercy! Flordeliz, be assured that though Ezekiel and Revelation have some congruency, they are two distinct books written at separate times, and, though both use prophetic language to speak about the things to come, Ezekiel was written for the Jews in exile in Babylon (about 597 B.C.) and Revelation was written for the Chruch of Christ, perhaps during a period of early persecution of Christians between 55 and 68 A.D.
