With respect to posting #210:
Sounds like this is a controversial point with many. I concede that the dates of the various books/letters can be disputed - but I obviously fall into the camp that interpret it the way I do (that the Book of Revelations was written last). With respect to the other books you make reference (the Books of the Nathan, Wars, Jumbyliah, etc ...), since these were never included in the 'Jewish Bible' (the Tenach) that was around at the time of Christ I don't believe they were devinely inspired. They are probably interesting historical books (like Macabees, etc), but not the Word of God.
Although I understand that God's ways are not man's ways, nor are His thoughts man's thoughts -- And I see things through sinful eyes and am obviously subject to error, I believe the Book of Revelations does make reference to the entire Bible in its closing verses in Chapter 22. My take on this is:
#1: The Bible is one, seamless, Book. Anything taken or added to Revelations changes the entire Bible. I believe its fitting that Chapter 22 of Revelations closes the Bible.
#2: What if God had not provided this close to the Bible? If He hadn't, it would open the way for every Joseph Smith, David Koresh, Mohammed, Mary White, Claire Prophet, Benny Hinn, etcetera, etcetera to add their 'inspired' word into God's statement. Again, God makes these calls, and not I -- but to me it makes sense that God sealed His Word with the closing book from the last living Apostle.
That's the extent of my two cents - and may God Bless you.
