Introduction: In starting the study on The Revelation of Jesus Christ, last week we had the first 3 verses.

In these verses we saw that this revelation was from God, given to Jesus to show His servants, and Jesus gave it to His angel to give to John.

John was witness to the Word, to the testimony of Jesus, and to all thing that he saw himself.

V3 also tells us that “Blessed is the person that reads and the person that hears”.

God blesses the people that reads and studies His Word, and seeks Him daily, moment by moment.

This world has nothing for us, our treasure is in heaven.

Jesus is worthy of all praise because of who he is and what he has done, and his Second coming will be glorious and public, because the Lord God Almighty will make it happen.

Both words suggest the kind of well-being that is derived from a deep relationship with God.
