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.

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 6TH 2025 LET THE GOSPEL BE YOUR PASSION For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth... (Romans 1:16). PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME Dsc. Dsc. DD. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is the power of God to save, heal, deliver and transform lives. That’s why it must be a message you understand, live by, and burn with passion to share with others especially as the coming of the Lord draws nearer than we’ve ever known. Paul the Apostle declared that he was not ashamed of the Gospel. That statement came from a place of deep conviction and unwavering commitment. For him, preaching the Gospel wasn’t optional but life itself. He lived for the Gospel and was willing to die for its advancement. Read His inspiring and heart-stirring words in Acts 20:22-27, “And now, behold, I go bound in the spirit unto Jerusalem, not knowing the things that shall befall me there: Save that the Holy Ghost witnesseth in every city, saying ...

  SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 16TH 2025 THE KINGDOM, THE FIELD, AND THE SEED Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field (Matthew 13:24). PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME Dsc. Dsc. DD. The Lord Jesus, in His remarkable teachings about the Kingdom, used parables to unveil profound truths. One of such examples is the parable of the wheat and tares in Matthew 13. He said, "...the kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field" (Matthew 13:24). That "man" is the Lord Himself, while the "good seed" represents the children of the Kingdom. The "field," as He later explained, is the world. This is extraordinary. The Lord sowed good seed, not in someone else's field, but in His own field. That tells you the world is His field and part of His Kingdom. It belongs to Him. No matter what we see in the world today, no matter how polluted it appears, the field still b...
