the Beloved Disciple?

The Gospel of John and the Revelations of John both reference John the Baptist rather the Apostle John.

This is going to show that the Beloved Disciple is a Disciple of John the Baptist that went with Jesus as soon as He came back from the 40 days in the wilderness. I'm going to go from where she and Christ are the only two beings standing on that mountain top. The verse shows who it is immediately and then compares her to new Jerusalem.
The first mention of a wife is at the time of the return. On the day the 7th trump sounds the two witnesses are resurrected and the people who see that are given less than 1 hour to get to the nearest horizon and the ones that make it before the fire starts remain alive as witnesses. Sodom left no witnesses and when God uses it to sent Satan and the fallen angels to the fiery lake the whole population see it before going to the 3rd heaven and the Great White Throne event.
The vials contain that fire and when all 7 are complete all sinners on the planet are dead and no sinner exists after that point in time. The population for the 1,000 years is a static one and the same ones alive at the start are the same ones that witness Satan going to the fiery lake. This group will reside in New Jerusalem in the New Earth and they will be the Shepherds (always one day ahead in knowledge about the Kingdom of God) and the ones that are resurrected at the GWT will be the ones living outside of the City.

Isa:51:6:
Lift up your eyes to the heavens,
and look upon the earth beneath:
for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke,
and the earth shall wax old like a garment,
and they that dwell therein shall die in like manner:
but my salvation shall be for ever,
and my righteousness shall not be abolished.

Re:19:1-3:
And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven,
saying,
Alleluia;
Salvation,
and glory,
and honour,
and power,
unto the Lord our God:
For true and righteous are his judgments:
for he hath judged the great whore,
which did corrupt the earth with her fornication,
and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand.
And again they said,
Alleluia.
And her smoke rose up for ever and ever.

Post judgment that comes with all 7 vials. Using the pattern established on the day of the cross the vials would be poured out between 1PM-3PM and then the 1/2 hour of silence (ends the wrath portion) and from 3:30PM-6PM the resurrection in Re:10 unfolds. Eze:37 gives the sequence and the end of the Gospel of John put the Beloved Disciple on a higher relationship with Jesus that Peter had.
The reference below is to the ones in the Re:20:4 list.

Re:19:4-9:
And the four and twenty elders and the four beasts fell down and worshipped God that sat on the throne,
saying,
Amen;
Alleluia.
And a voice came out of the throne,
saying,
Praise our God, all ye his servants,
and ye that fear him,
both small and great.
And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude,
and as the voice of many waters,
and as the voice of mighty thunderings,
saying,
Alleluia:
for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.
Let us be glad and rejoice,
and give honour to him:
for the marriage of the Lamb is come,
and his wife hath made herself ready.
And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen,
clean and white:
for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.
And he saith unto me,
Write,
Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb.
And he saith unto me,
These are the true sayings of God.

Re:21:9:
And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues,
and talked with me,
saying,
Come hither,
I will shew thee the bride,
the Lamb's wife.
Re:21:10:
And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain,
and shewed me that great city,
the holy Jerusalem,
descending out of heaven from God,

Re:1:9:
I John,
who also am your brother,
and companion in tribulation,
and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ,
was in the isle that is called Patmos,
for the word of God,
and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.

Peter's letter to the Beloved Disciple acknowledges that they were there from the beginning. Paul's letter acknowledges that it is to a woman.

1Jo:1:1-3:
That which was from the beginning,
which we have heard,
which we have seen with our eyes,
which we have looked upon,
and our hands have handled,
of the Word of life;
(For the life was manifested,
and we have seen it,
and bear witness,
and shew unto you that eternal life,
which was with the Father,
and was manifested unto us;)
That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you,
that ye also may have fellowship with us:
and truly our fellowship is with the Father,
and with his Son Jesus Christ.

2Jo:1:1:
The elder unto the elect lady and her children,
whom I love in the truth;
and not I only,
but also all they that have known the truth;

2Jo:1:13:
The children of thy elect sister greet thee.
Amen.

Joh:19:26:
When Jesus therefore saw his mother,
and the disciple standing by,
whom he loved,
he saith unto his mother,
Woman,
behold thy son!

Lu:24:10:
It was Mary Magdalene,
and Joanna,
and Mary the mother of James,
and other women that were with them,
which told these things unto the apostles.

Lu:10:38-42:
Now it came to pass,
as they went,
that he entered into a certain village:
and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house.
And she had a sister called Mary,
which also sat at Jesus' feet,
and heard his word.
But Martha was cumbered about much serving,
and came to him,
and said,
Lord,
dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone?
bid her therefore that she help me.
And Jesus answered and said unto her,
Martha,
Martha,
thou art careful and troubled about many things:
But one thing is needful:
and Mary hath chosen that good part,
which shall not be taken away from her.

That is not complete but it does show that Mary of Bethany was right in the thick of things as she saw more as she was there when John was not in prison and the Apostles were not there until John was in prison.
