Jesus the Christ

Gotcha. The whole mystery, right there in the final few verses of Revelation. In my opinion, it is now obvious to me that John is the only witness of the Historical Jesus. What it was? Isn't it clear? A superextraordinary human existed once so that his lore was causing great motions in the ether. John, a scholar, was sent to investigate.. for the peasants were begining to make this Jesus out to be the King of the Kings of Israel who Lords over all men in Nobility. Well, John, conservative by most accounts, is mystified by the wisdom of an angel who is a messenger of Jesus. It could have been Jesus himself. For he is also an Angel of Jesus. Jesus. A witness to the glory of such a man. In any case, John confesses that he believes Jesus to exist, though he never met the man but met a messenger who claimed he was not worthy to seat at Jesus' feet. If that were so, then Jesus' reputation was well deserved, in John's humble opinion. But I believe John did not return to Herodotus with his thesis. I believe he believed it would cause great "Drama" as they said. Was John the now infamous Roman Scholar "X"? You betcha. G'nite..
(oh, but the blog will continue)

8: And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things.
9: Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God.
10: And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand.
11: He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.
12: And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.
13: I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.
14: Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
15: For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.
16: I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.
17: And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.
18: For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:
19: And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
20: He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
21: The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
