text: in revelation who do you think john speaks of  as the false prophet?   grace unto you, and peace, from god our father and the lord jesus christ.  first of all john did not write book of revelation, rather paul did, signed it, and sent it "unto john"; as is noted for us in both the first and last verses. revelation ends with the "salutation"(token) of paul, which is thrice noted it's written by his "own hand". http://www.godshew.org/revelation.htm#author http://www.godshew.org/revelations3.htm  many would think john would be referring to paul, for john spent much of his life discrediting paul, to point paul refers to him as a thorn in the flesh.  but only "false prophet" named in bible is "barjesus". acts 13:6 "and when they had gone through the isle unto paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a jew, whose name [was] barjesus"  strong's concordance: barjesus = son of jesus (or joshua)    upon give more earnest heed to what's been said, it would reason moses is the first false prophet; for he notably prophesied jc would be like unto him.  but when daring to compare jesus christ with moses:  the law(lie) was given by moses, (jn 1:17) but grace and truth came by jesus christ.  do not think i(grace) will accuse you to the father, rather moses (law) will accuse you (john 5:45)  moses was "great", a "great terror" to all israel but jc is "greater", the salvation of all israel  the "grace" of our lord jesus christ with you all. amen.
