So here we are at the end of the Bible.
Is Revelation about the future or even the present enemy? If it is then there is much to be frightened of. Is it about the Church? If it is then there is much to be despondent of.
But no, it is about Jesus Christ. It is a revelation of Him.
When was it given?
Revelation 1 v9-10 John is in the place of the 3 conditions. If we want the kingdom of God then we are going to have to be persistent within our time of suffering. It is in this place where we will receive this revelation, so long as:
We are where we are meant to be …. The Lords Day John is worshipping.
We are in the place of worship.
We can hear Him speak.
What was it about?
Absolutely it was about Jesus. Look at verse 13-16 and see the word ‘like’. It is impossible to be certain but we can say Jesus is like …
It speaks against those literalists as we see here descriptives of Christ because John struggles to describe.
The response of John?
He fell as though dead. And we the Church need to fall down in similar ways. The Church needs to die from its importance.
The response of Jesus?
Do not be afraid. He is not dead. He is alive more than you are right now. Death could not hold him.
