Facts About The Book Of Revelation [Part 2]

Revelation 1:1

"The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John"

The details in this book are so important. Don't miss anything.

He introduces the book so that you understand WHY it is called the book of "Revelation". It is the Revelation of Jesus Christ.

"Things which must shortly come to Pass": the Greek communication is on the strength of it's coming to pass in quick succession...not in its nearness.

"To show to his servants"... "By his angel unto his servant John"... John is given as an example of one of His servants.

(Rom 1:1)

Doulos: translated servant; One who gives himself up to another's will. One whose service is used by Christ in advancing his course. One devoted to another to the disregard of his own Interest.....

My question to you...Is this book addressed to you???

No wonder not many people understand the book of revelation. It's because it's for his servants. Are you his servant?

V2: referring to John.

V3: This is Johns prologue. (Vs 1-3). The book of Revelation is a prophecy. (it is both a revelation and a prophecy)

Just reading it, blesses you.

"For The time is at hand": The time is near.

If the time was near back then, it is nearer now.

V4- 7 The one who is in the present, who was in the Past and who is to come.... Referring to God!

V5: Grace from God and from Jesus Christ. God is the one who sits on the throne. Jesus is declared here as a faithful witness and the first born from the dead.

He LOVED us. WASHED us from our sins. Observe the tenses. He did it in his own blood.

6: He has MADE US Kings and Priests. This is not a promise. We are talking about the finished works. He has made us King-priests. Royal priests.

Melchizedek was a King-priest of Salem.

Jesus was made a priest in this order. .

Unlike the Aaronic priesthood that was passed from one to another but werr not allowed to continue by reason of death

But Melchizedek had no beginning of days and no end of life. He abides a priest forever.

We are also born into this order of priesthood.

As royal priests, we have got responsibilities.

This prophecy was delivered to Royal priests.

Testimony Of How I Got Born Again. REV TOM AMENKHIENAN. Pastor Chris Led Me To Salvation.

JESUS LOVES ME! HE HAD MY LIFE ALL PLANNED OUT. I was born into a Roman Catholic family setting, with a strong influence of the Roman Catholic culture running through the entire family because my maternal Grandparents had been very committed and recognized leaders in the Roman Catholic Church. I was baptized and confirmed at an early age and soon enlisted as an Altar Boy (Mass Server). At this early age, the Priests and Reverend Fathers in charge of our local assembly (mostly foreigners, especially from Ireland), deliberately sought to groom, tailor and mentor me in the direction of becoming a Roman Catholic Priest, encouraging me to attend the Seminary once I came of age. I grew up with this background and was indoctrinated in it until I had my first encounter with another Christian Group in my Secondary School days when a group from the Scripture Union organized a fellowship in our school and preached the gospel to me. I attended a few of their fellowship meetings and tried to ...

Pastor Biodun Lawal tells a story.

JESUS CALLED ME! My name is Pastor Biodun Lawal. I am the zonal pastor of Christ Embassy Accra, Ghana and I want to thank our man of God, our pastor, our coach and our father for the opportunity to share my salvation testimony with you. I title it Jesus Called Me. I was born and raised up in a Muslim house, my parents were Muslims. I was trained as a kid to go to Quranic School and on how to lead prayers in the mosque as well. I grew up as a Muslim learning the things that a young Muslim should do. As at that time, my parents had a lot of Christian friends and at the age of five my parents allow me to follow their friends children to church(Sunday school) and that was my first encounter with Christianity. All the things that we were taught at the Sunday school didn’t make sense to me then because I only followed the children to go and play. Then suddenly, my parents stopped me from attending the Sunday school because they had wanted me to focus on their religion which is Islam. T...
