Revelation 1-The time is near!

Prologue

(Daniel 12:1-13)

1This is the revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to show His servants what must soon come to pass. He made it known by sending His angel to His servant John, 2who testifies to everything he saw. This is the word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ.

3Blessed is the one who reads the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear and obey what is written in it, because the time is near.

The ancient Greek word translated Revelation is apokalupsis (apocalypse).

From Enduring Word 

From the outset, we are given the most important truth about the Book of Revelation. This book shows us the Antichrist, it shows us God’s judgment, it shows us calamity on the earth, and it shows us Mystery Babylon in vivid detail. Most of all, it is the Revelation of Jesus Christ to us. If we catch everything else, but miss Jesus in the book, we miss the Book of Revelation. (Guzik)

How we need a revelation of Jesus! “The great fault of many professors is that Christ is to them a character upon paper; certainly more than a myth, but yet a person of the dim past, an historical personage who lived many years ago, and did most admirable deeds, by the which we are saved, but who is far from being a living, present, bright reality.” (Spurgeon)

This book is a difficult book to read and understand. I’ve studied it several times and will do my best to bring forth the meaning of the prophecies contained within. David Guzik nails it on the head concerning Jesus within the book.

Are you ready? The time is near!

Blessings, David
