salvation through Jesus

 

 The matchup of Matthew and Revelation is important and should be taught to our children in schools around the world. It would teach them how to looks for patterns that exist in subtle relationships.

Even though the matchup is fascinating, salvation through Jesus is the primary purpose of the Bible. Without salvation the Bible doesn't tell us much. The Bible is difficult to read and almost impossible to interpret. The Bible is full of parables and dark sayings. There are no discernible statements one can profess and see tangible results, like healings or anything else. People quote James 3:15, but I've quoted that and ended up in the emergency room. What does "raise him up" mean? it doesn't seem to mean "healed".

Revelation starts with locusts being released. Locusts destroy crops by eating them in the field. In Matthew Jesus gives an example of a sheep falling in a pit and being lifted out. In Revelation the locusts are released out of a bottomless pit. The first structure ends with the religious leaders seeking to destroy Jesus. And in Revelation it ends with the word Apollyon. In Greek the word destroy and Apollyon are the same word. Second structure: Jesus heals all that come to him, but in Revelation four horses are released to slay a third of men. In Matthew Jesus doesn't quench a smoking flax, but in Revelation people ...
