Introduction
Scripture
Outline
Revelation 1 - Introduction
Revelation 1:1-3 - Prologue & Benediction
Revelation 1:1-2 - Jesus’ Revelation from the Father
Revelation 1:3 - Benediction
Purpose of Book
The purpose of Revelation is to challenge/encourage believers, who are expectantly awaiting the reign of Christ, to live faithfully for Him despite worldly circumstances, persecution, and the cosmic battle between God and Satan.
Main Point
John introduces what the book will entail, how it came to be written, and how Jesus’ servants can be blessed as a result of the prophecy
Revelation 1:1-2 - Jesus’ Revelation from the Father
***Title of the Book***
The revelation from/given by Jesus Christ,
Revelation
Used approximately 44 times in the NT and always used as a divine revelation given that was previously hidden to humans
Word signifies that the books is highly symbolic
Which God gave him to show his servants the things that must soon take place.
Servants
Slaves/given total allegiance
Must soon take place
Why did John quote from Daniel 2? Revelation is meant to be understood symbolically not simply literally - specifically Revelation 4-22
Daniel 2:28 - Things that will be in the “latter days” now becomes “Things that must soon take place”
He made it known by sending his angel to his servant John,
The Father -> Jesus -> Angel -> John
Who bore witness to the word of God and to the testimony of Jesus Christ,
Word of God conveyed through the prophets - aligning Revelation with prophetic literature
Testimony of Jesus
Precisely reveals the contents of the “word of God”
Even to all that he saw.
Revelation 1:3 - Benediction
***Beatitude***
Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy,
Blessed
Happiness or having high favor as a result of God’s grace on one’s life
Prophecy
An unveiling of what will take place demanding a response
And blessed are those who hear,
Communal reading of God’s word was very common in the early church
And who keep what is written in it,
Keep
Persist in obedience
The goal of studying the book of Revelation is to go beyond information, but transformation
Those who are blessed are those who hear AND keep what is written
For the time is near.
The death and resurrection of Jesus inaugurated the kingdom of the end times
The enemy is being defeated and will ultimately become complete
These things can happen at any time without any delay
Application
The Father alone reveals mysteries
God sovereignly oversees the events of human history
Those who read, hear, and are obedient to this book are blessed
Main Point
John introduces what the book will entail, how it came to be written, and how Jesus’ servants can be blessed as a result of the prophecy
