Thanks using my posts to bump threads.
just search the apocalypse for the word church and you will find it 18 times in the first three chapters and only once in the last 19 chapters
-if-
john the baptist wrote the first version of the apocalypse, he would not have used the word church which would be added later by the apostle

The vision of Revelation was given on the Mount of transfiguration to Peter, Andrew and John and possibly also too James. Each one gave an account and all of those accounts were combined to create the Book of Revelation
so why would john introduce himself three times?
The first two occurrences appear to have been added by the redactor.
the time is near -
this is john the baptist not the apostle -
talking about the first coming not the second

God authored all scripture. If you have questions, why not go to scripture to find out the answers?
God answered all questions pertaining to life and godliness in scripture. II Peter 1:3-4
Anything outside of life and godliness, well.
Why isn't God mentioned in Esther?
Do you want to know scripture or opinions about scripture?
If you want to learn scripture read scripture. Find an apostle or a prophet or an evangelist or pastor or teacher who is functioning as one and learn from them or someone who has learned from one of them.
Why didn't Jesus write a book in scripture? Because God had other things for him to do. Like redeeming man and making the gift of salvation available to everyone.
thank you for your opinion
