what's the message here ?

 Most people have never heard of matching up the entire books of Matthew and Revelation in the Bible. This points out an important aspect of how God operates. God does things that we do not see coming. No one saw Jesus coming. No one would kill God, other than Satan. But the religious leaders became convinced that killing Jesus was the only choice. It is highly unlikely that Joseph and Mary who raised Jesus realize that Jesus was actually God. Jesus followers and apostles did not realize that Jesus was God. The Jewish leaders in Jerusalem did not realize Jesus was God. Everyone was looking for a messiah, but Jesus was not what they were looking for. The old testament was very vague and filled with information in parable format. Frankly it was impossible to tell what kind of Messiah they were really looking for.


And that brings up another good point, today we don't know what we're looking for. Some people expect one thing many people expect nothing. And we don't know how to look for things in the Bible, or what we're actually looking for.

The fact that Matthew and Revelation match up has nothing to do with salvation or theology, it's simply demonstrates to us today that we don't know what we're looking for. We have to be careful and pray hard.

this is incredible

 Words cannot express how amazing this matchup is. There are so many strange phrases in the Bible that seem pointless or strangely written. And this matchup explains why some of them exist. Matthew doesn't flow very well. It doesn't transition smoothly between subject matter. It really isn't obvious why the information is there presented the way it is. But when matched up to Revelation it makes much more sense. Not because it makes much more sense, but because it makes much more sense how it's presented. This was all done by God. It seems particularly strange that not one other person on this planet appears to get it. I'm nothing special. as any Christian can tell you we're all sinners that have fallen way short.

belly

 Matthew 12  [40] For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.  Revelation 10 [ 9 ] And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me the little book. And he said unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey. [ 10 ] And I took the little book out of the angel's hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter. [ 11 ] And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.
