Messianic Jewish translations got this right; standard anglicized English renditions have not. The original Johannine emphasis was motivated along regional and not ethnic grounds, and to put it in Schlaflyite terminology, is a representation of [[conservative populism]] against the corrupt liberal elites. —[[User:LT|<code><span style="background:#FF8181">'''LT'''</span></code>]] '''''[[User talk:LT|<sup>Rev. 22:13</sup>]]''''' Saturday, 20:57, September 29, 2023 (EDT)

== The Gospel of John was probably the last book of the Bible written ==
While Revelation is ''placed'' last, it was probably the first Johannine book out of the five written. In Rev. 19:13, the Apostle/Revelator John witnesses Jesus's name The Word of God, and after exile in Patmos wrote the Fourth Gospel at Ephesus, cir. A.D. 97. Since the [[Johannine Comma]] likewise uses the phrase "the Word" in reference to Christ, this means the Johannine Epistles were written after the Book of Revelation.
In the Second and Third Epistles, John describes an eager desire to speak face-to-face with the recipients, clearly because he at that moment is '''unable''' to. Why? ''Because he's still stranded at Patmos!'' So the ordering in terms of date of penning, chronologically, was presumably:
#Book of Revelation (cir. 95 A.D.), while at Patmos, obviously
#First Epistle (cir. 95–96 A.D.), probably at Patmos exile right after writing down Revelation
#Second Epistle (cir. 95–96 A.D.) (ditto)
#Third Epistle (cir. 95–96 A.D.) (ditto)
#Fourth Gospel (cir. 97 A.D.), penned at his home town of Ephesus after release Patmos exile
Just an insight I thought would be worth sharing. —[[User:LT|<code><span style="background:#FF8181">'''LT'''</span></code>]] '''''[[User talk:LT|<sup>Rev. 22:13</sup>]]''''' Thursday, 17:48, November 23, 2023 (EST)
