Revelation Chapter 1 Verses

[LittleLambofJesus]

LittleLambofJesus said: ↑
9 I John, the brother of ye and [*joint]-partaker in the affliction and kingdom and endurance in Jesus [*Christ], came to be in the island, the being called Patmos because of the word of the God and the testimony of Jesus [*Christ].
10 I became in Spirit in the Lord's day and I hear behind me a voice, great as a trumpet

I do like this translation very much !
Please forgive me for pulling out this one verse, but the highlighted portion especially struck me; it is much like Paul's speaking of sharing in the suffering of Christ.

Thanks, LLoJ, for doing this work and posting it; things that are a labor of love tend to shine, as does this

Yes. Revelation does have a lot of Paul in it, such as the Almighty, which is used only 1 time in the NT outside of Revelation.

Nice job LLoJ. Love it. Will be able to reference it in my studies. Thanks for the time and effort this took. Ever think of publishing?

Go Cards

Thank you Pujols.
It will take me some years to finish my translations and commentary on Revelation before I even think of publishing, and will just have to wait and see where the Lord guides or leads me after this.

This is a more refined one without all the variances, brackets, *s and and very little punctuation.

I found this site just recently and wish I had known about it before. This has 5 MSS to compare and what I do is copy the Texts to wordpad then note the variances and go with the ones that agree most.

Revelation 1 An uncovering of Jesus Christ which gives to him the God to show to the bond-servants of Him which-things is binding to be becoming in swiftness and He signifies commissioning thru the Messenger of Him to the bondservants of Him John, who witnesses the word of the God and the testimony of Jesus Christ much-as he saw. Happy the one-reading and the ones-hearing the words of the prophecy and keepings the in it having been written for the time nigh.

John to the seven Outcalleds those in the Asia "Grace to ye and peace from the One being and the One was and the One coming and from the seven spirits which are in view of the throne of Him, and from Jesus Christ the witness the faithful the firstborn of the dead-ones and the chief of the kings of the land, of the One loving us and loosing us from of the sins of us in the blood of Him and makes us a kingdom of priests to the God and Father of Him to Him be the glory and the might into the ages of the ages Amen. Behold! He is coming with the clouds and shall be seeing Him every eye even who-any Him they pierce and shall be wailing over Him all the tribes of the land yea amen." "I AM the Alpha and the Omega" is saying Lord the God, "the One-being and the One-was and the One-coming the Almighty"!

I John the brother of ye and joint-partaker in the affliction and kingdom and endurance in *Jesus Christ* came to be in the island, the being called Patmos, because of the word of the God and because of the testimony of Jesus Christ. I became in spirit in the Lord's day and I hear behind of me a voice great as trumpet saying "which thou are beholding write! into a scroll and send! to the seven Outcalleds; into Efeson and into Smurnan and into Pergamon and into Quateira and into Sardei and into Filadelfeian and into Laodikeian". And I turn to be beholding the voice whoany spoke with me and upon turning I saw seven lampstands golden, and in midst of the seven lampstands one-like a Son of Man having been inslipped to foot and having been about-girded toward the breasts a purse golden. The yet head of Him and the hairs white as wool, white as snow, and the eyes of Him as flame of fire and the feet of Him like to brazen-incensor as in furnace having been fired and the voice of Him as voice of waters many. And having in the right of Him hand stars seven and out of the mouth of Him a sword two-mouthed keen going out, and the sight of Him as the sun is appearing in the power of it.
And when I saw Him I fall toward the feet of Him as dead and He places the right of Him on me saying "No be fearing! I AM the first and the last and the living-one! and I became dead and behold! living aminto the ages to-the ages amen. And I am having the keys of the death and of the hades. Write then! which-things thou saw and which-things are and which-things is being about to be becoming after these. The mystery of the seven stars which thou saw upon the right of Me and the seven lampstands the golden, those seven stars Messengers of the seven Outcalleds are, and those seven lampstands seven Outcalleds are.

Wow!

Jesus Christ the witness the faithful the firstborn of the dead-ones

now THAT'S sumthin' to chew on, ain't it?

I would like to start a thread where everyone participates putting up a verse from Chapter 1 of Revelation in order.
After this I would like to start a different thread for Chapt 2 if that is ok with the Admins.

I use the 3 main greek texts: T-R, W-H and B-M. If all texts agree, I will just put up the T-R and I will keep it word-for-word as much as is possible.. Hope others will enjoy this and perhaps something will become "unveiled" to us that we never noticed before.
Here is Verse 1

Revelation 1:1 An-Un-Veiling/apo-kaluyiV Jesus Christ, which gives to him, the GOD, to show to His bond-servants, which-things is binding to be becoming in swiftness. And He signifies commissioning thru the messenger of Him, to the bondservants of Him, John.

A side historical note: the first three verses of revelation was originally written on the outside of the scroll to identify it without opening it. When the scroll was copied into codex or book form - the first three verses were copied into the text.

This is interesting LLOJ. Thanks.

I never saw this thread before because you did it before I came to CFU (CF University).

So would you say the first 3 verses are not part of the Revelation, but more like a title page for the document? Do you think they may be later addition to the scroll? They contain the words "for the time is near". It is now 2012.

No, only vs 1. Jesus was given the scroll because he was the only one who could open it to show us what must come to pass. Vss 2 & 3 simplt tell us that John recorded it and we're blessed for reading it.

Thks for those posts.....

The greek word for "reading" is interesting.
If you parse that word, it can mean "above-knowledge"

The same word used in Reve 1:3 is the one used in Matt 24 concerning the AoD mentioned in Daniel. I have a thread on that for those interested. Thoughts?

Matthew 24:15 "Whenever then ye may be seeing the abomination of the desolation, the being declared thru Daniel the Prophet having-stood in a place, holy (the one-reading/ana-ginwskwn <314> (5723) let him be minding/understanding" [Mark 13:14]

Revelation 1:3 Happy/blessed/makarioV <3107> the one reading/ana-ginwskwn <314> (5723) and the ones hearing the words of the Prophecy and keepings the in it having been written, for the time nigh.

The One Reading.....

or "knowing again", ie remembering, keeping in mind. Although there are other words in greek for "remembering" and "keeping in mind".

 

[The Sodoq Zacharias]

The Revelation of the Prophet / Messiah Yashu'a which Thehos, who is his Heavenly Father know as Yahweh to the Hebrews , and God to the Christians , gave to him , in order for him to teach his servants , the followers of the Prophet / Messiah Yashu'a , and Lord son of Mary and the Holy Ghost to the Christians about that which must happen very quickly , and to record and send it by way of my Prophet , the newsbearer John's son of Zebedee and Salome , hands through Malachi Zodoq , Melchisedek , the Sun of Righteousness also called Murdoq , his Messenger for his servant the newsbearer John , son of Zebedee and Slaome .

LLoJ) Reve 1:1 An unveiling/revealing of Jesus Christ, which gives to him, the God, to show to the bond-servants of Him which-things is binding to be becoming in swiftness.
And He signifies-it, commissioning thru the messenger of Him, to the bond-servant of Him, John.

I would like to look at this word in Reve 1:1 and would like to hear from other on it.
Thanks you.

Revelation 1:1 An unveiling/uncovering/revealing/apokaluyiV<602> of Jesus Christ ........................

The word #602 means an uncovering/unveiling/revealing/unhide.

This Greek word is formed with the prefix #575 and root word #2572.

unveiling/uncovering/apo-kaluyiV<602>

Strong's Number G602 matches the Greek ἀποκάλυψις (apokalypsis),which occurs 18 times in 18 verses

602. apokalupsis from 601; disclosure:--appearing, coming, lighten, manifestation, be revealed, revelation.
575. apo a primary particle; "off," i.e. away (from something near), in various senses (of place, time, or relation; literal or figurative)
In composition (as a prefix) it usually denotes separation, departure, cessation, completion, reversal, etc.
2572. kalupto kal-oop'-to akin to 2813 and 2928; to cover up (literally or figuratively):--cover, hide.
[Strong's Number G2572 matches the Greek καλύπτω (kalyptō),which occurs 8 times in 7 verses]

It is used 1 time in the Gospels: Luke 2:32, [the rest in the Epistles and 1 time in Revelation].

YLT) Luke 2:32 a light to the revelation/uncovering/revealing/apokaluyiV<602> of nations,
and the glory of Thy people Israel.'

It references a lot of OT passages, especially Isaiah. There are probably more.

Isaiah 9:2 Isaiah 11:10 Isaiah 42:6 Isaiah 49:6 Isaiah 49:9 Isaiah 51:4 Isaiah 60:1 Matthew 4:16
Acts 13:47

LLoJ) Reve 1:1 An unveiling/revealing of Jesus Christ, which gives to him, the God,
to show to the bond-servants of Him which-things is binding to be becoming in swiftness.
And He signifies-it, commissioning thru the messenger of Him, to the bond-servant of Him, John.

Reve 1:1 .............to show to His bond-servants which-things is binding to be becoming in/en swiftness/tacei.

1722. en a primary preposition denoting (fixed) position (in place, time or state),
5034. tachos from the same as 5036; a brief space (of time), i.e. (with 1722 prefixed) in haste:--+ quickly, + shortly, + speedily.
G5034 matches the Greek τάχος (tachos),which occurs 7 times in 7 verses

According to a lexicon, using the 2 words together means it is going to happen very shortly, in haste, or be over swiftly. Any thoughts on that.
This phrase also occurs in Reve 22:6, [along with some in the NT.]
Reve 22:6 .........................to shew to His servants the things that it behoveth to come in/en swiftness/tacei

The phrase "in swiftness/en tacei" occurs 7 times in the NT:
Luke 18:17, Acts 12:7, Act 22:18, Acts 25:4, Romans 16:20, Revelation 22:6 and Revelation 1:1 and Revelation 22:6

Strong's Concordance with Hebrew and Greek Lexicon
Search Multiple Dictionaries (including Easton's Bible Dictionary) :

"swiftness; adjective,.
1. moving or capable of moving with great speed or velocity; fleet; rapid:
a swift ship.
2. coming, happening, or performed quickly or without delay: a swift decision

And He signifies-it, commissioning thru the messenger of Him, to the bond-servant of Him, John.

1:1...........And He signifies-it,/eshmanen<4591>.............

#4591 is used 6 times in the NT: 3 times in John, 2 times in Acts, 1 time in Revelation.

Genesis 1:1 (KJV)

4591. semaino from sema (a mark; of uncertain derivation); to indicate:--signify.

The exact word form of that Greek word is used in Acts 11:28.

YLT) Acts 11:28
and one of them, by name Agabus, having stood up, did signify/eshmanen<4591> through the Spirit a great dearth is about to be throughout all the world --
which also came to pass in the time of Claudius Caesar --
