God is not the author of confusion jake. that would be satan he is the father of lies. revelation was written by John who was the only disciple to die a natural death.i believe God allowed him to die an old man instead of a martyrs death because he was the only one who did not abandon Christ when He was on the cross. revelation is a mirror to the book of Daniel, you cannot understand revalation without the book of Daniel. scripture is very consistent.God promised to preserve His word. the Hebrew language did not have a "J" sound in English. they had the Y sound. my name in Spanish is Patricio in English it's patrick.same thing applies to the name of Jesus.
