C. What is this letter?
a prophecy: the uncovering of something hidden, the making known of what we could not find out for ourselves.
It makes plain that the book it introduces is not a book of human wisdom, nor for that matter a discussion of philosophical or theological problems.
It is revelation.
It is a setting forth of what God has made known

D. How should we read it?
4 schools o thought:
Preterist View: written by 1st Cent Christian, to 1st Cent Christians describing 1st Cent Christians problems.
that’s it
means there’s lots o meaning & use 4 them, not much use for us prominent view o modern scholars
Historicist View: inspired forecast o all o human history (including what hasn’t happened yet
means that there’s a great deal o use for us, but would have left 1st Cent Christians confused (& I don’t think that was johns intent)
Futurist View: everything written happened in the future tense
useless 4 every1 accept whoever’s right b4 the end
Idealist View: not about practical happenings, but about concepts & principles
I believe that this book was written by a 1st Cent Christian, in the time of the 1st Cent Christians…some o the prophecy is timeless, some o it has happened already, & some yet to happen.
It’s chalked full of concepts & principles that affect us 2day as well as did then, & will help generations 2 come continue in the faith in the face of persecution
I believe we get a powerful view of What God’s space looks like & what it will be like when God’s space fully invades & overtakes man’s space!
All things will b set 2 right w/no more sorrow & no more pain!
We must read this letter grounded in the 1st century b4 we can understand what it means 4 us 2day!
John clearly states:
frm Jn to the 7 churches!
