Final note:
The author of the Book of Revelation is called β€˜John’, but who exactly was this John?
This is what the scholars differed about throughout the previous centuries and until now.
The following documents are taken from different denominations’ points of view.
Eusebius suggests that the author of the Book of Revelation was John the Presbyter, and says:
"Either the book must be ranked as among the undisputed NT books or rejected as apocryphal"
"There are some difficulties in identifying the author of revelation with John the apostle."
- Some Church Fathers rejected the Book of Revelation as part of the Scripture.
"We cannot know for sure who wrote Revelation."
"A debate still continues over whether the John who wrote this book to be identified with John the apostle, John the Elder or an otherwise unknown John"
"Within the book itself, however, there is no specific indication as to who exactly this John was."
Personal comment: I thought the commentator would tell us who exactly this John was, but apparently he does not know!
" (...) he is a John otherwise unknown to us."
"(...) there is much uncertainty about who he (John) was."
Personal comment: 70 African Christian scholars could not identify who precisely this John was and say " Regardless (...)"?
I mean seriously?
May Allah guide the Christians to Islam.
