Chapter 1 - An overview of Revelation 1-3, but also the entire book of Revelation.
We are looking to break down Rev 1:1-8 today.
Rev 1:1 - It’s the Revelation of Jesus Christ to John and to us through John.
++Written in the mid 90’s AD. ++The is the 1st word, but it should be a “A” showing that the rest of the bible is a revelation of Jesus Christ also.
++It’s the last book & the last revelation of God to the world, thus His Word is complete.
++Shortly = when things begin to happen they will happen very rapidly from start to finish.
It’s not a from now till the end time frame.
++The gospels are introducing Jesus to the world as the savior regarding the forgiveness of sin & how God became a man.
Revelation is the revelation of Jesus as God and how He will be for eternity.
This is Jesus after the ascension in Acts.
++This book is at the end for a reason - it assumes you have read the rest of the book.
This book references all the other books like no other book.
It’s kinda like Jesus [Cliff] notes for the bible - it will bring the entire bible into focus and remembrance.
++The book of Revelation makes more references to the OT than any other NT book.
++God lives in the eternal now - Isa 46:9-10
Mt 24:7 - famines in the Greek is POLITICALLY caused.
++It’s due to a few people and how they rule that cause people to starve.
++Pestilences - world wide event, not localized.
Mt 24:5 - “many will come in My name” = people won’t claim to be Jesus or the Christ, but will claim to have a different way to God. [Cults]
The message of the book is not about the future, it’s all about Jesus.
The events are like a coming storm, we can see it building.
Rev 2:1 - Jesus will speak at times but most of the book is a guided tour for John by an angel, not Jesus
Rev 1:3 - Blessed = happy ++refers to a gathering ie let some read and some listen.
++Happiness is 1 of the 7 fruits of the Spirit ++near = ἐγγύςb: a point of time subsequent to another point of time, but relatively close.
++Again speaking to not right then, but when you see this train start to roll, it’s going to pick up speed and hit these stops faster & faster.
Rev 1:4 - Grace = a favorable attitude toward someone or something—‘favor, good will’.
++who is & who was & who is to come.
Rev 1:5 - 1.) Faithful witness - of God, Creator of all, sinless/perfect.
[Who Was] ++2)Firstborn from the dead - conquer of death, our salvation.
[Who Is] ++3.) Jesus ruler over the kings of the earth - They are in His hand, also the 2nd coming.
[Who Is To Come].
Rev 1:6 - Made us kings & priests - this is what we will be - but notice the the tense.
We have our position now.
Rev 1:7 - Behold = Open your eyes, it’s a willful call.
Speaking of the 2nd coming not the rapture as explained by Amir.
++even they who pierced him = the very soldiers who pierced him.
++tribes = every ethnic group, color, and every level of society.
++mourn = they mourn because they are against Him, they have been caught.
Rev 1:8 - Alpha & Omega = Alpha is not the letter for Alpha, but the word Alpha.
++Thus showing that Jesus was there at the beginning as the Word of God.
++Omega is the letter NOT the word.
Meaning Jesus / the Word of God is eternal, open ended, never ending.
++the Beginning and the End is a reference to Jesus as the governor of time.
++Almighty = the 1 and only one who is omnipotent, holy.
