*In Revelation 1:6, we see a direct upholding of the Old Testament passage of\u00a0 Daniel 7:13-14 — whereas in Matthew 4:8-10 we see Jesus<\/em><\/strong> rejecting<\/em> the very same gifts that the Messiah receives in Daniel 7:14.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n *In the same introductory passage of Revelation we also read that \u201call tribes of the earth will wail\u201d — and yet Jesus<\/em><\/strong> in the Gospels made it clear that he came to bring us contentment and peace, \u201cthat [our] Joy might be complete.\u201d (John 15:11).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n *In Revelation 1:8 & Revelation 1:17 we see \u201cJesus\u201d giving glory to himself as \u201cthe 1st<\/sup> and the last\u201d — whereas in the Gospels, Jesus<\/em><\/strong> only gives glory to God the Father (see Mark 10:18, John 5:41, John 7:16, John 8:50-54, John 12:44 et al).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n *In Revelation 1:13 \u201cthe Son of Man\u201d is used to refer to the<\/em> lone Messiah — while in the Gospels, Jesus<\/em><\/strong> uses \u201cthe Son of Man\u201d to refer to all of humanity (see Matthew 5:45 et al).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n *In Revelation 1:16 & Revelation 2:12 the mouth of \u201cJesus\u201d is referred to as a \u201c2-edged sword\u201d — whereas in the Gospels, Jesus<\/em><\/strong> uses this term to describe the Word of a Just and all-Loving God (see Matthew 10:34).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n *Revelation 1:18 shows \u201cJesus\u201d holding the keys to death — whereas in the Gospels we see Jesus<\/em><\/strong> holding the keys to Life (see Matthew 19:17, Matthew 19:29 & Matthew 22:32).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n *Revelation 2:1+ shows \u201cJesus\u201d condemning many members in the seven churches mentioned therein —\u00a0 whereas in the Gospels Jesus<\/em><\/strong> makes it repeatedly clear that he would never judge anyone<\/em> (see John 3:17, John 12:47, Matthew 8:11, Luke 6:35-36 et al).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n *In Revelation 2:4 we see \u201cJesus\u201d desiring to be loved by the Ephesians — whereas in the Gospels, Jesus<\/em><\/strong> openly refuses the glory of all other humans (see John 5:41).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n *Revelation 2:6 has \u201cJesus\u201d openly hating the Nicolaitans — and yet Jesus<\/em><\/strong> in the Gospels clearly champions a LOVE that is \u201cperfect [and therefore fully without condition or limitation], just as his Father\u2019s Love was [and still is] perfect\u201d (Matthew 5:48).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n *Revelation 2:7 shows \u201cJesus\u201d claiming\u00a0 authority over the Tree of Life (see Genesis 3:24) — and yet in the Gospels Jesus<\/em><\/strong> openly states that he only abides in the Will of God (see John 5:30, Luke 22:42 et al).<\/p>\n *Revelation 2:14 & Revelation 2:20 both show \u201cJesus\u201d rebuking others for eating foods that have already been sacrificed to idols \u2013 whereas Jesus<\/em><\/strong> in the Gospels made it quite clear that \u201cWhatever goes into a man from the outside cannot defile him.\u201d (see Matthew 15:17-18 & Mark 7:14-20)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n *In those same two verses (Revelation 2:14 & Revelation 2:20) the book of Revelation shows \u201cJesus\u201d condemning the act of fornication — whereas in the Gospels Jesus<\/em><\/strong> only admonished others gently regarding the sexual act (see Matthew 19:11-12).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n *Revelation 2:16 has \u201cJesus\u201d claiming to \u201cmake war with my mouth\u201d — whereas the gentle Jesus<\/em><\/strong> of the Gospels told us to \u201cPray for those who persecute\u201d us, and \u201cLove [our] enemies\u201d (see Matthew 5:43-48 et al).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n *Revelation 2:19 has \u201cJesus\u201d saying that \u201cthe last [will be] more than the first\u201d — whereas Jesus<\/em><\/strong> in the Gospels very clearly said that \u201cthe last shall be first, and the first shall be last\u201d (see Matthew 19:30 & Matthew 20:16, Mark 9:35 & Mark 10:31 and Luke 13:30).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n *Revelation 2:22 shows \u201cJesus\u201d punishing others with illness — whereas the Jesus<\/em><\/strong> of the Gospels is constantly portrayed as a healer (see Mark 1:40-42, Mark 3:1-5, Mark 6:56 et al).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n *Revelation 2:23 has \u201cJesus\u201d threatening to \u201cstrike her children dead\u201d — whereas the Jesus<\/em><\/strong> of the Gospels is always seen as one who reveres & cherishes & honors children (see Mark 9:37, Mark 10:14 et al).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n *We see \u201cJesus\u201d \u201cgiving authority over the nations\u201d in Revelation 2:26 — whereas Jesus<\/em><\/strong> in the Gospels very clearly stated \u201cto the Emperor the things that are the Emperor\u2019s, and to God the things that are God\u2019s.\u201d\u00a0 (see Mark 12:17, Matthew 22:21 & Luke 20:25)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n *Revelation 2:27 (along with Revelation 12:5, & Revelation 19:15) has \u201cJesus\u201d threatening to \u201crule them with an iron rod\u201d — whereas Jesus<\/em><\/strong> in the Gospels simply wants us all to \u201cbe merciful as the Father is merciful\u201d (Luke 6:35-36).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n *Revelation 3:7 (also Revelation 22:16) notes that \u201cJesus\u201d possesses \u201cthe key of David\u201d — whereas Jesus<\/em><\/strong> in the Gospels repeatedly tells others that he is not<\/strong> the Davidian Messiah (see John 7:42 + Mark 12:35-37 + Matthew 2:23 et al).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n *Revelation 3:10 has \u201cJesus\u201d informing us that some will be kept from the upcoming time of trial — whereas Jesus<\/em><\/strong> in the Gospels makes it quite clear that said \u201ctime of trial\u201d is already Here & Now<\/em>, fully viable in every single present moment of every single person\u2019s life (see John 4:23-24, John 4:35-36, John 5:17, John 5:22-23 et al).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n *In Revelation 4:3 we see that Heaven is comprised of precious gems — whereas in the Gospels, Jesus<\/em><\/strong> makes it clear that Heaven is not<\/em> a place of material wealth at all (see Matthew 6:19-21, Matthew 6:25, Matthew 6:33 + Luke 17:20-21 et al).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n *In Revelation 5:7-8 we see \u201cJesus\u201d opening a \u201cScroll of Doom\u201d — whereas in the Gospels, Jesus<\/em><\/strong> reads from a scroll of liberation (see Luke 4:18).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n *In Revelation 5:12-13 (and also Revelation 19:16) we see \u201cthe lamb\u201d of \u201cJesus\u201d receiving great power & great glory — whereas in the Gospels, Jesus<\/em><\/strong> rejects all such false gifts (see John 6:15 + Matthew 4:8-10).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n *Revelation 7:4-8 notes that only 144,000 Jews will be ultimately saved — whereas\u00a0 in the Gospels Jesus<\/em><\/strong> notes on more than one occasion that everybody<\/em><\/strong> will ultimately attain Salvation (see Mark 8:18-21, Mark 9:49, Matthew 18:14, Matthew 18:22, Luke 3:6, Luke 20:38, John 1:9, John 6:45, John 12:32, John 12:47 et al).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n *Revelation 11:18 shows \u201cJesus\u201d judging the dead and rewarding his worshipers — whereas the Jesus<\/em><\/strong> of the Gospels noted \u201cI do not judge anyone\u201d (see John 8:15 + John 12:47) and gave his disciples the honor of serving others<\/em> as their only \u201creward\u201d (see John 13:15-17, John 15:17, Matthew 10:39 et al).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n *Revelation 14:7 shows the \u201ceternal gospel\u201d of \u201cJesus\u201d as being one of fearful worship of God \u2013 whereas Jesus<\/em><\/strong> in the Gospel notes that his \u201cGood News\u201d is A<\/strong>) that Heaven is already \u201cat hand\u201d (see Matthew 10:7 + Luke 17:20-21) \u2026 and B<\/strong>) that this \u201cKingdom of Heaven\u201d can be continually accessed via acts of selfless Love towards — & self-sacrificial service for — others (see Matthew 24:12-14).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n *Revelation 14:10 (along with Revelation 14:19, Revelation 15:1, Revelation 15:7, Revelation 16:1, Revelation 19:15 & Revelation 20:10) speaks of a God of great wrath & harsh judgment — whereas Jesus<\/em><\/strong> in the Gospels speaks of a divine Father of perfect Love (Matthew 5:48), amazing Mercy (Luke 6:36) and limitless Forgiveness (Matthew 18:22).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n *In Revelation 16:17 we see the 7th<\/sup> \u201cAngel\u201d shouting \u201cIt is done\u201d at the end of a time of mass destruction — whereas in the Gospels Jesus<\/em><\/strong> utters \u201cIt is accomplished\u201d at the end of his ministry of humble reconciliation & all-encompassing Peace (see John 19:30 + Isaiah 2:4 et al).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n *Revelation 16:19 shows us God\u2019s cup of wrath — whereas Jesus<\/em><\/strong> in the Gospels speaks of a cup of selfless service & divine Love (see Matthew 20:22-23, Matthew 26:42, Mark 14:36 & Luke 22:20 et al).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n *Revelation 18:8 (also Revelation 19:2-3) shows God to be a judger of men & women — whereas Jesus<\/em><\/strong> in the Gospels notes that, \u201cThe Father judges no one\u201d (see John 5:22 \u2013 see also John 8:15, John 10:38, John 11:41-42, John 12:26, John 12:47-48 et al).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n *Revelation 19:7 speaks of \u201cthe marriage of the Lamb\u201d — whereas in the Gospels Jesus<\/em><\/strong> makes it perfectly clear that \u201cFor the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage.\u201d (see Matthew 22:30, Mark 12:25 & Luke 20:34-35)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n *In Revelation 19:9 we see that the \u201cmarriage banquet\u201d is an exclusive affair — whereas Jesus<\/em><\/strong> noted in the Gospels that his<\/em><\/strong> banquet would be open to everyone<\/em><\/strong> (see Matthew 22:2-9 et al).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n *Revelation 19:11 shows \u201cJesus\u201d mounted on a steed of power; a white war horse — whereas Jesus<\/em><\/strong> in the Gospels rode a humble donkey (see Matthew 21:5-7, Mark 11:1-7, Luke 19:30-35 & John 12:14).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n *In Revelation 19:13 \u201cJesus\u201d is equated with the Word of God — whereas in the Gospels Jesus<\/em><\/strong> made it very clear that he was a fully separate and fully independent relayer of that Word (see John 12:48 + John 1:1-14).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n *Revelation 21:10 & Revelation 21:25 show Heaven (the \u201cNew Jerusalem\u201d) to have 12 portals whose gates are always open — whereas Jesus<\/em><\/strong> in the Gospels told us that Heaven\u2019s salvation was attainable only via a single Narrow Way (see Matthew 7:14), and that one must knock to enter upon arrival (see Matthew 7:7-8).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n *Revelation 21:16 shows Heaven (again, the \u201cNew Jerusalem\u201d) to a place of grandiose splendor — whereas Jesus<\/em><\/strong> in the Gospels notes that Heaven is humble & miniscule & mundane & subtle & internal (see Matthew 13:31-33, Mark 4:3-32 & Luke 13:18-21) \u2026<\/p>\n <\/p>\n *In Revelation 21:21 we see that Heaven has 12 pearls — whereas Jesus<\/em><\/strong> makes it clear in the Gospels that there is only one<\/strong> Great Pearl (see Matthew 13:45-46).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n *Revelation 21:27 notes that those who are \u201cunclean\u201d may not enter Heaven, and verse 22:14 notes as well that blessed are those wearing robes that have been cleansed — whereas Jesus<\/em><\/strong> in the Gospels openly challenged all such outdated notions of religious cleanliness (see Matthew 15:12-20 et al), and made it very clear as well that it is far<\/strong> more important for each of us to clean the inside<\/strong> of our own<\/em><\/strong> \u201ccups\u201d before we speak of the cleanliness of the chalices of others\u00a0 (see Matthew 23:25-26 & Luke 11:39 et al).<\/p>\n
