I don't think so. A goat is not better than a sheep. A sheep is not better than a goat. They are different.
Saying the sheep are on the path of truth is an implication of superiority.
You are jumping to an erroneous conclusion.

I'm not jumping to any conclusion. I'm not the first to suggest John of Patmos was high when he wrote Revelations. The isle of Patmos has a large number of shoreline caves where fly amanita (a strong hallucinogen) grows wild on the ground. Even if you assume he didn't take drugs and just had a dream; who's to say there's any truth to the dream? There are a million nutjobs that claim God is talking to them and the world is going to end even today. Nobody is expected to believe them. What makes the writer of Revelations any different?
The possibility of World's end is real. And I think your last question is a rhetorical one, yes?
What makes the writer of revelation different than other nutjobs? I can see the world like he saw it. What he said is coming true. Can he and I be imagining it? Of course! How can I believe you imagine wrongly about anything but I am right? It's wrong. Can't have your cake and eat it to. Can't sleep.
How do you figure it's coming true?
Circular reasoning.
How do I figure the words in Revelation are coming true? I can see it. How? I have been told only The Holy Spirit knows. If I know too and that is true, then how is by Holy Spirit. I cannot see circular there. You asked "how?" Is how what you meant?
In wicca they have but one commandment and it covers more than all 10 of the christian commandments. "Do what thou will but harm ye none"
There is more to the creed but that is the only commandment.
Only if you believe in Chrisianity.See how goats going about their business of deciding for themselves what is what and what is wrong causes ruin?
The religious leaders who I know say the illustration means goats will be destroyed. But I am sure it means the goats will cause ruin.
The sheep in the illustration are for restoration. The goats are for destruction.
It is not about being saved or being destroyed. It is about being for salvation or being for destruction. It's not a conscious choice to be for destruction, is it? But it is a conscious choice to be for salvation.
What specifically can you see coming true?
