REVELATION 1
Rev 1:1-20 The Revelation of Jesus Christ =The discloser of Jesus Christ
Which God gave unto Him
Notice how the above is phrased. This is the reveling of the things of Jesus Christ; things which prior to this were not yet revealed to THEM.
To show unto His servants
Things which must shortly come to pass
John was there to receive these revelation of Jesus Christ and to pass that on to his companions in that time period. Yet many today take was written for THEM, and apply them to today.
And He sent and signified it
By His angel unto His servant John
Who bore record of the word of God
And of the testimony of Jesus Christ
And of all things that He saw
Who did John bare record to? To His fellow companions in Christ Jesus at that time. Obviously He could not have done that to peoples of today at that time.
Blessed is he that reads
And they that hear the words of this prophecy
And keep those things which are written therein
For the time is at hand (is now)
Here again is seen that the time was for the time in which John lived, not now.
John to the seven churches
Which are in Asia
Here it is clearly seen that John's message was for the seven churches and was addressed to everyone at every time period.
Grace be unto you
And peace
From Him
Which is
And which was
And which is to come
And from the seven Spirits which are before His throne
And from Jesus Christ
Who is the faithful witness
And the first begotten of the dead
And the prince of the kings of the earth
Notice that here it is first stated that the message is from Him which is, which was, and which is to come. Then, and from Jesus Christ.Rewriting we have: From Elohim, which is, was, and is to come; and from His Christ Jesus.
Unto Him that loved us
And washed us from our sins
In His own blood
Him, Jesus Christ.
And has made us kings
And priests
Unto God and His Father
The saints of today are not priests as were those chosen by Jesus Christ when He was on the Earth, in the earth of Judeah.
1Co_4:8 Now you are full, now you are rich, you have reigned as kings without us: and I would to God you did reign, that we also might reign with you.
To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever
Amen
Behold
He comes with clouds
And every eye shall see Him
Act_1:9 And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.
Act_1:11 Which also said, You men of Galilee, why stand you gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as you have seen Him go into heaven.
Here again the scripture point to the Jews and not to the entire world as most try to make them point to.The same ones that saw Him taken up were to see Him return.
And they also which pierced Him
And all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of Him
Even so Amen
I am Alpha and Omega
The beginning and the ending
Says the Lord
Which is
And which was
And which is to come
The Almighty
I John
Who also am your brother
And companion in tribulation
And in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ
Here is another subject pointing to the time concerned in Revelation. John and His companions in Jesus Christ. Who were John's companions? The other disciples of Jesus Christ which were at that time.
Was in the isle that is called Patmos
For the word of God
And for the testimony of Jesus Christ
I was in the Spirit
On the Lord's day
And heard behind Me a great voice
As of a trumpet
Saying
I am Alpha and Omega
The first and the last
And what you see
Write in a book
And send it unto the seven churches
Which are in Asia
Who was He to send this writing to? This then tells us who the writing was being addressed to, the seven churches in Asia. See how taking things out of place causes so many problems in understanding the scriptures? Again, the number seven deals with spiritual perfection. These seven churches were being perfected in that time period. The message was directed to them and not for everyone everywhere
1- Unto Ephesus Meanings: Desirable
2- And unto Smyrna Myrrh
3- And unto Pergamos height, elevation
4- And unto Thyatira a perfume, sacrifice of labor
5- And unto Sardis prince of joy
6- And unto Philadelphia love of a brother
7- And unto Laodicea just people
And I turned to see the voice that spoke with me
And being turned I saw seven golden candlesticks The seven Spirits of God
And in the midst of the seven candlesticks
One like unto the Son of man
Clothed with a garment down to the foot
And girt about the paps with a golden girdle
His head
And His hairs
Were white like wool
As white as snow
And His eyes were as a flame of fire
And His feet like unto fine brass
As if they burned in a furnace
And His voice
As the sound of many waters (very loud)
And He had in His right hand seven stars NOTE: Right hand, place of honor.
And out of His mouth went a sharp two edged sword The word of God
And His countenance was as the sun shining in His strength Spiritual purity
Psa 149:6-9 Let the high praises of God be in their mouth
And a two edged sword in their hand
To execute vengeance upon the heathen
And punishments upon the people
To bind their kings with chains
And their nobles with fetters of iron
To execute upon them the judgment written
This honor have all his saints
Praise you the LORD
Heb_4:12 For the word of God is quick
And powerful
And sharper than any two edged sword
Piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit
And of the joints and marrow
And is a discerner of the thoughts
And intents of the heart
And when I saw Him
I fell at His feet as dead
And He laid His right hand upon me
Saying unto me
Fear not
I am the first and the last (Alpha and Omega)
I am He that lives
And was dead
And behold
I am alive for evermore
The Amen (truth)
And have the keys of hell and of death
The keys, the control over the grave and death
Write the things
Which you have seen
And the things which are
And the things which shall be hereafter
The mystery of the seven stars
Which you saw in My right hand
And the seven golden candlesticks
Is The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches
And the seven candlesticks which you saw
Are the seven churches
Rev_11:4 These are the two olive trees
And the two candlesticks
Standing before the God of the earth
2Co 4:3-4 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
THE SEVEN SPIRITS
Mat_12:28 But if I cast out devils
By The Spirit of God (1)
Then the kingdom of God is come unto you
You who? The Jews who accepted Him.
Luke_4:18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me
Because He has anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor
He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted
To preach deliverance to the captives
And recovering of sight to the blind
To set at liberty them that are bruised
John_15:26 But when the Comforter is come
Whom I will send unto you from the Father
Even the Spirit of truth Which proceeds from the Father
He shall testify of Me
Rom_8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.
Eph_1:13 In whom you also trusted, after that you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that youelieved, you were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise
Heb_10:29 Of how much sorer punishment, suppose you, shall he be thought worthy, who has trodden under foot the Son of God, and has counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace (6)?
Eph_1:17 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him:
