The Book of Revelation John
The Book of Revelation
1. History of the book:
· Date: 90’s AD
· Place: Island of Patmos small barren, rocky island in the A-ge-in sea about 60 miles from Ephesus. The Romans used it to exile prisoners there to do hard labor.
2. Author: is John the apostle of Jesus
· Some scholars believe it is some other John due to the writing is a different style then John’s other writings.
· I’m not surprised it is different: John is not the same man he was 50 years ago, 50 years ago he was more of a fleshly man and he thought like a fleshly man. He has been walking in the spirit for 50 years and his relationship to Jesus is not the same. The Jesus that John will confront on the island of Patmos will not be the same Jesus he laid his head on his chest at the last supper. The Jesus that John will see in haven as a lamb slain before the thrown of God, will not be the same Jesus that he walked with on the shores of Galilee. John’s relationship with Jesus has grown, John sees him differently, and is more spiritly intimate with Jesus.
Q- Have we grown in our relationship with Jesus?
3. John’s character:
· John saw farther into eternity past than anyone else:
· John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.
· John saw farther into eternity future than anyone else:
Q-Why is John the one to see these things?
Revelation 1: 9,10 I, John, both your brother and companion in the tribulation and kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was on the island that is called Patmos for the word of God and for the testimony of Jesus Christ. Ver 10: I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s Day, and I heard behind me a loud voice, as of a trumpet
Q- What does it mean he was in the spirit?
“I came to a state of ecstasy capable of receiving revelation.”
“God chooses the least likely time in John’s life to unveil his plans for the earth, the church and the second coming of Christ.”
God is above in convincing us
“We as Christians possess somethings that came apart of the packet of salvation, they are called Graces. But those graces that we have are of the greatest value to us when we are going through the deepest trials and test.”
“John had to set aside, he had to make a conscious decision, that no matter what was happening to him in the flesh, so his attitude and character would be one that made it possible to receive this revelation.
Q-How would we have handle the injustice, pain, the uncertainty, the feelings of abandonment?
