18. Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and abode
with him fifteen days.”

The Three-Year Isolation: Paul emphasizes that for three years, he had zero contact with the people who actually knew Christ. This was his “training” period. The Location: Arabia (the desert) (at that time including the Nabataean kingdom) was the heart of the old Edomite territory. For an Edomite/Herodian agent, this was “home turf”—the perfect place to develop a doctrine that would eventually subvert the Hebrew faith.
.
The Direct Conflict: This three-year desert “revelation” that ended in Damascus is the exact scenario Christ warned against in Matthew 24:26: If they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth… believe it not.
.
By his own hand, Paul documents that he did exactly what Christ told the followers to watch out for: he went into the desert, claimed a private revelation from a “Jesus” in a secret place, and waited three years before infiltrating the actual leadership in Jerusalem.
.
To add one more thing to these damning evidences; For anyone who has the ability to reason, there is not any possible way that Yashava the Christ would return in a manner that He said that He would not return, and then do it in precisely the same manner that He said that the devil would arrive. That simply would not happen!
.
As Paul emerges out of the Arabian desert at the completion of his masters training, he comes onto the world stage creating churches, criticizing the Apostles, upbraiding them, and projecting himself better than them.
.
After his first venture to Rome who held high regard for his Edomite royalty, Paul boldly declares that he is the head of all christian churches.

1 Corinthians 7:17, (KJV), (Paul)
17. “But as God hath distributed to every man, as the Lord hath called
every one, so let him walk. And so ordain I in all churches.”
