IS THE WRITER OF REVELATION STILL ALIVE? Yochanan was exiled to the island of Patmos in the Mediterranean Sea, where he was left to live out the rest of his mortal life. While most Christians have been taught that he was seeing and hearing incorporeal, ephemeral-visions on a “Sun-day”, the truth of the matter is quite different. The statement, “I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day” (as we often see it translated) is really telling us that he was spiritually transported to the future “Day of YAHUAH”, a period of time we may better understand as being the “great tribulation”, ending in the return of Yahushua haMashiach with all of His resurrected set-apart ones, His bride- Yisrael. Time periods are the main theme in this “revelation”, and they are intentionally written for, and to those set-apart ones of Israel who are living through the time periods, so they will recognize the events being revealed by Yahushua, the Revelator. So, "day" refers to the period of time at the end of days, not a specific day of the week. Certainly, the "Lord's Day" is never used in Scripture to refer to the day of the week called "Sun-day," which human tradition has led us to believe is now the Sabbath. To believe this could be so is caused by the mesmerization of the masses. Just as we might arrange a “conference call” on a telephone, Yahushua can “time-patch” reality as He did at Mt. 17:1-3, when He transformed and shone like the sun, talking with Mosheh and Eliyahu. Likewise, brother Yochanan was “time-patched” forward to the great, awesome, and dreadful Day of YAHUAH. It is from this book, Chizayon (Revelation), that we learn there will be “2 witnesses” who will prophesy in the last days. Yochanan reports to us that he was told “You have to prophesy again concerning many people and nations and sovereigns” at chapter 10:11. ~ Could he be one of these “2 witnesses”? Did Yochanan die on Patmos? Traditional records tell us he was boiled in oil three times; obviously he had been accused of a capital crime — and if they couldn’t put him to death, it helps explain why he was exiled to Patmos. Is there any Scriptural evidence to support the possibility that the author of this book may be STILL ALIVE? Well, in fact, YES THERE IS. One clue is given at Mt. 16:27,28, where Yahushua speaks of the time of His return, then mentions something very curious: “For the Son of Adam is going to come in the esteem of His Father with His messengers, and then He shall reward each according to his works. Truly, I say to you, there are some standing here who shall not taste death at all until they see the Son of Adam coming in His reign.” At Yn. 21:18, Yahushua tells Kepha what kind of death he will have to endure, then Kepha asks Yahushua about Yochanan concerning this same topic, his death. Yn. 21:20 “And now Kepha, turning around, saw the taught one whom Yahushua loved following, who also had leaned on His breast at the supper, and said, ‘Master, who is the one who is delivering You up?’ Seeing him, Kepha said to Yahushua, ‘But Master, what about this one?’ (Referring to Yochanan's death) Yahushua said to him, ‘If I wish him to remain until I come, what is that to you?’” "Therefore this word went out among the brothers that this taught one would not die." - 21:23. But, Yochanan went on to clarify that Yahushua didn't say he wouldn't die, but rather said "If I wish him to remain until I come, what is that to you?" So, he will die eventually - that is appointed for all men . . . but something special has been arranged for Yochanan apparently! So let’s watch, pray, and keep the book of Revelation continually part of our study and research. “Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of this prophecy, and guard what is written in it, for the time is near.” Chizayon (Revelation) 1:3 Near is the Day of YAHUAH, and the 2 witnesses.
To brother Yochanan, if you're out there and on the internet: Since you are are a living eye-witness of the most important events in human history, we wish to thank you for your steadfast fidelity in writing down the 5 documents we have today - sorry they changed your name. The sincerity and love for us in your writings is very clear - and we have come to believe through your writings. We now realize that you have further work to do in these days just before Yahushua's return. You will warn the occupants of this planet one last time, setting straight the proper way we are to live, and announce the end of days. We're waiting to hear from you. May our Rabbi Yahushua be with you, brother Lew
From a recent
Email:
Hi Lew, I thought I would relate a story to you of a personal experience I had back in 1977 while I was on vacation with my parents and younger sister. It happened while we were in Lawton, OK and preparing to leave town. We all had gone down there for a few weeks from Michigan because my dad was going to the FAA school there. After his schooling we were going to make our way to Florida to see my aunt and uncle. The day we were leaving town we decided to go to a McDonald's and have lunch.
While we were there
eating, a man walked
into the restaurant
and got in line to buy
something. He
stood out from
everyone else not just
because he looked very
old but also because
of the way he was
dressed. He had long
white hair and was as
I could tell balding
on top and his dress
as I recall it looked
like some kind of
sheep skin with wool.
He also had a staff. I
took notice
particularly because
this was June or July
and the temps were in
the 90's. Even then I
couldn't help thinking
he looked like some
old prophet out of the
bible. Years later
when I first heard
about the possibility
of Yochanan still
being alive I thought
back to that
experience wondering
if, then thinking
Na,...couldn't
be. Your article
on your website
brought that memory
back to me so I
thought I'd share it
with you. So possibly,
we may have our first
modern day sighting of
Yochanan in a
McDonald's buying a
Big Mac in Lawton, OK
in the middle of the
summer of 1977.
Or, just something to
chuckle about.
You have my permission
to use this story if
you wish.
Take care and Shalom,
James
