Revelation Chapter by Chapter (#1)
WHY READ THE BOOK OF REVELATION?
Verses 1:1-3 - This is How the Book Opens
1. This book is the record of the events that Jesus Christ revealed. God gave him this revelation in order to show to his servants what must happen very soon. Christ made these things known to his servant John by sending his angel to him, 2. and John has told all that he has seen. This is his report concerning the message from God and the truth revealed by Jesus Christ. 3. Happy is the one who reads this book, and happy are those who listen to the words of this prophetic message and obey what is written in this book! For the time is near when all these things will happen.
"If you have ears.. listen to what the Spirit says to the churches.." 2:7;11;17;29; 3:6;13;22
The Seven Letters - Keep our first love for the Lord alive. Persevere, endure, know we are rich. Do not be distracted and sidetracked by other (seemingly) glittery things; or teachings and thus fall away or backslide.
"...He loves us, and by his sacrificial death he has freed us from our sins" ("sin" - #G266 - "sin, failure, missing the mark" He has freed us from our sin, from our failure, from our missing the mark) - 1:5
Don't fall asleep. Keep safe what we have so our victory be not stolen. We, and our eyes, must be anointed.
"If you do not wake up, I will come upon you like a thief, and you will not even know the time when I will come." 3:3
"The Devil will put you to the test by having some of you thrown into prison, you will have tribulation ten days. Be faithful to me, even if it means death, and I will give you the crown of life." 2:10
"Behold, He is coming with clouds, and every eye will see Him.." 1:7
"To him who is overcoming -- I will give the right to eat the fruit of the tree of life that grows in the Garden of God.. (they) will not be hurt by the second death.. I will give (to them) some of the hidden manna, and a white stone on which is written a new name that no one knows except the one who receives it.. (they) will be clothed in white, and I will not remove their names from the book of the living. And in the presence of my Father and of his angels I will declare openly that they belong to me.. I will give (them) the right to sit beside me on my throne, just as I have been victorious and now sit by my Father on his throne. He who is having an ear -- listen to what the Spirit says to the churches!
To those who win the victory, who continue to the end to do what I want, I will give to them authority over the nations, and they shall rule them with a rod of iron, as the vessels of the potter they shall be broken, as I also have received from my Father; and I will give to them the morning star.
Because you have kept my command to be patient, I will also keep you safe from the time of trouble which is coming upon the world to test all the people on earth. I am coming soon. Keep safe what you have, so that no one will rob you of your victory. I will make those who are victorious to be pillars in the temple of my God, and they will never leave it. I will write on them the name of my God and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which will come down out of heaven from my God. I will also write on them my new name."
2:7;11;17;26-28; 3:5;10-12;21
"Listen! I stand at the door and knock.." 3:20
