The prophecy in the book of Revelation is for the Jesus followers - whether of Jewish or gentile heritage.

Chapter 2 and 3 are to churches that are varied from mixed to mostly gentile.

Chapters 5 to 20 are about the fall of Jerusalem in 70 AD - and we read about not only the 144K Judeans but also the vast multitudes from all nations who are included in the worship of the Lord.

By the time John wrote the book of Revelation *around 65 AD*, “Christianity” was still a sect of 2nd temple judaism.

Current day Judaism is derived from Phariseeism and actually dates to AFTER 70 AD, so is a “niece” religion to Christianity and about 40 odd years YOUNGER

I suppose you're too stubborn to see that this "Judaism comes from the Pharisees" line is identical to the "Catholicism/Orthodoxy was invented by Constantine" used by traditional Protestants.

Also, the Pharisees' dispute with the Tzadduqim was that the latter were "sola scriptura" while the former were defenders of holy tradition. I suppose you don't see the irony of that either?

Also, if there were no Pharisees before the year "70," then why are there so many Pharisees in the "new testament?"
