Why Did The Bible Not Continue After The Book Of Revelations? by tctrills: 8:37pm On Nov 11, 2023
The story of the bible began before the creation but suddenly ends at the book of revelations.
Why do you think it stopped? Here are two possible reasons, what do you think.
1. God has already revealed everything to mankind
2. There was no one qualified to record the words and revelations of God.

Did the end not tell you that it cannot continue and this part we need to know is finished?

The church fathers approved whatever books seem suitable to them.

Each Bible book wasn't written to be continued by the next! Though it may be arranged so by the church fathers and copyists.

No it never stated that. No verse in the bible declared that the word of God has come to an end.
Or are you saying that John was the last person God revealed his words to?

Every book in the bible is a book if Revelations. Revelations does not mean end or conclusion.

The reason why God made arrangements for a book to be written should be known. Adam is the man who caused it by turning away from the purpose for which man was created man supposed to be a free agent among other creatures using his gifts to improve on what God made on planet earth but Adam choose to rebel against his Creator thinking he could become the one to set standards for coming generations of humans. That is what led to all the troubles facing mankind till today.

So the Bible is God's message to man telling us about how life began, how trouble started, the plans God has made to solve the problem and what those who wants to continue living ought to do in order to be part of the success story.

From Genesis to Malachi shows how God created the earth, how mankind got into trouble, how God promised a saviour, how God chose a nation through which the saviour will be born and what part the saviour will play in the redemption of mankind.

Matthew to Revelations shows how the saviour was born among the Jews, how he started a movement that will get all obedient humans involved in the global educational program which will lead millions to redemption, how the enemy with his agents will try to stop the movement and what the movement will achieve before God send His heavenly armies to come and end all badness.

So whatever man needs to know about this program has been WRITTEN in the Bible making the book COMPLETE that's why the Author could say in the last book:


“I am bearing witness to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this scroll: If anyone makes an ADDITION to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this scroll; and if anyone takes anything away from the words of the scroll of this prophecy, God will take his portion away from the trees of life and out of the holy city, things that are written about in this scroll. Revelations 22:18-19

The highlighted simply means NO ADDITION and NO SUBTRACTION! smiley

The aim of God inspiring humans to write the bible was to establish an everlasting covenant between him and mankind.
After that, there was no point continue inspiring humans to write anymore, since the everlasting covenant has been achieved through Christ

The Bible actually means a collection of books that has been standardised by some set of foreign church fathers!

Which sets of church fathers can restandardise it again that will be accepted widely as before?

Ascribed means that it is some man who sticks it.

But when God does a thing, the whole world would know that He did it and it needs no ascribing

Yet you complaiin when people call you Muslims, murderous bandits and blood hungry terrorist.

The same unjust judgment you used to speak against God.

As thou hast judged so shall thou be judged.

Whoever does an act should be ascribed to the act. Muslims shouldn't be ascribed to an act done by some sets of individuals on their behalf!

Many were terrorised in the Bible authorised by your God. But you'll never criticise it but Muslims!

The one God did, He did and He does not deny it but to accuse.God of that which He did not do is proof of you violating your own Law.

And therefore by your judgment shall you be judged.

Which calamity did your God create in Isaiah 45:7?

Do mention it?

If I were to ask you who saved Lot and his family from being destroyed in Sodom you'll say God!

But who permitted them to commit incest and procreate from it that will be Satan not God in your own biblical thinking!

All these are deviations and departures from the issue for one, the whole world knows that He clearly supports the good and the right which is why you are not happy to be called a murderous evil terrorist.

And secondly, it is known that No Law, No offence hence why God expressed all His Laws (Ordinancees, Statutes and Judgments) clearly prohibiting incest. So no excuse.

And as I said, all these is off point!

So murderous terrorists waka far tiill your judgment of blasphemy come.

You are right but are you suggesting that other books have the same spiritual value as the bible in the Christian world?

Oga stop exhibiting your stupidity. Just because you don't have the right answers doesn't mean you should start throwing tantrums and insults. You are not a kid so stop embarrassing yourself. There have been many people giving intelligent answers to the question so I advisce that you humble yourself and quietly learn from more useful human beings.

A few questions here.
1. What was the covenant?
2. Are you saying that God's covenant with man was not completed until after the book of Revelations was written?
3. Many Christians died before the book of revelations was written, did they not have a covenant with God?
