None of the above.1ST: The author of your article referenced, is failing to aknowledge the simple fact that John did use the word “arnion” to describe Jesus' followers, in his gospel. So it make your author's argument moot, that there were two authors of the gospel and revelation.
He says John did not consistently use arnion to describe Jesus in Revelation and the gospel. It doesn't matter, if in fact he DOES use the same term in both volumes.
John uses arnion as follows: John 21:15 So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my [arnia lambs. [arnia (arnion) = accusative neut pl]
2ND: Revelation is NOT the last book of the New Testament as supposed by your reference authority. It was written just prior to the destruction of Jerusalem, which took place in 70 a.d., so it is likely Revelation was written in 69 a.d., and most certainly by early 70 a.d.
The last book of the New Testament was John's gospel, written in 96 a.d.
Not that I am an apologist for Wikipedia, but it does say “…is the last canonical book of the New Testament, which is true.

I am referencing how most Christians understand that to mean. They look at it as “the last New Testament book in the canon.”It is not.

But most Christians still think that it is the last book written.thinker
