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.

RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL

MONDAY, 14TH JULY 2025 THE VIRGIN BIRTH CONFIRMS HIS DEITY   Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us  (Matthew 1:23). PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME    When we say Jesus Christ is deity, we’re affirmingthat He is God. This claim is significant, especially when you consider that many around the world view Jesus merely as a prophet or a great teacher. While it may seem respectful for some to call Him a great prophet or a remarkable teacher, these assertions fall far short of His true identity.    That’s the reason it’s important to understand who He really is by first examining the miracle of His birth. TheBible describes His birth as extraordinary, something that had never occurred in all of history. Matthew 1:18 says, “Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with c...

RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL

 THURSDAY, JULY 31TH 2025 OUR UNIQUE ASSIGNMENTS IN THE MILLENNIUM Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness, and princes shall rule in judgment. And a man shall be as an hiding place from the wind, and a covert from the tempest; as rivers of water in a dry place, as the shadow of a great rock in a weary land (Isaiah 32:1-2). PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME  Our theme scripture is prophetic about the Millennium. The latter part alludes to the unique role we (the Church) would be playing in the millennial reign, when Israel takes center stage. The millennial reign of Christ is not for the Church. It’s for Israel. So, what are we, the Church, going to be doing then? We're going to be carrying out angelic assignments. Our role at the millennial reign of Christ is very different from what a lot of people think; it’s going to be much like what the angels do today in ministering for us. In that day, the Jews will walk in the Millennial blessings that characterize the life of the saints wh...
