Revelation Unveiled Ep. 4 – Revelation Chapter 1

Revelation Chapter 1 sets the stage for the entire book.  It lets you know who is the subject (Jesus), who the intended audience is (the Churches), and what the message will be (the end times).

Revelation chapter 1 also gives the outline of the Book.  John was told to write the things he HAS seen (the visions of Revelation chapter 1), the things which ARE (the 7 letters to 7 Churches), and the things which shall be “metatauta” or “after these things” (the future)

So the outline is:

  1. The things you have seen (Chapter 1)
  2. The things which ARE (Chapters 2 -3)
  3. The things which will happen in the future (Chapters 4 – 22)

In this weeks episode, we will do a deep dive into the first chapter of Revelation, including interpretation of these first set of vision about Jesus and the Lampstands (Hint: the description of Jesus in this vision has NOTHING to do with his physical appearance (or His “race” when He was on earth!)
