The Book of Revelation

[See Preface To The Chronological Revelation for details on the structure of the Book of Revelation.]

 

Rev. 1:1  The Revelation [unveiling] of Jesus Christ [the Anointed One and His Anointing], which

            [1] God gave unto him [Jesus],

[a.] to show unto his servants [the Church] things [prophecy concerns things]

[11.] which must shortly come to pass [when they begin to happen, they will happen quickly]; and

            [2] he [Jesus] sent and signified [it] by his angel [#32, messenger (c/p. Rev. 19:10, Rev. 22:6-9)]                         

[a.] unto his servant John [a member of the Church]:  

 [#32, anelos, angel, messenger: translated angel 179 times and messenger 7 times in the New Testament (Matt. 11:10; Mark 1:2; Luke 7:24, 27, 9:52; 2 Cor. 12:7; Jas. 2:25).]

 1:2                              [11.] Who bare record of

                                                [aa.] the word of God, and

                                                [bb.] of the testimony [witness]

[111.] of Jesus Christ [c/p. Rev. 1:9; Rev. 20:4], and

                                                [cc.] of all things

[111.] that he saw. 

 1:3  Blessed [is]

            [1] he that readeth, and

            [2] they that hear

[a.] the words of this prophecy [the Book of Revelation is a prophecy (Rev. 1:3; Rev. 22:7, Rev. 22:10, Rev. 22:18, Rev. 22:19; c/p. Rev. 11:6, Rev. 19:10)], and

            [3] [they that] keep those things

                        [a.] which are written therein:

for the time [is] at hand.

 

 1:4  John to the seven churches which are in Asia:

            [1] Grace [be] unto you, and

            [2] peace [be to you],

                        [a.] from him [the Father]

                                    [11.] which is, and

                                    [12.] which was, and

[13.] which is to come [the Father inhabits eternity past and future (c/p. Rev. 1:8)]; and

                        [b.] from the seven Spirits

[11.] which are before his throne;

 

 1:5  And        [c.] from Jesus Christ, [who is]

                                    [11.] the faithful witness, [and]

                                    [12.] the first begotten of [out from] the dead, and

                                    [13.] the prince of the kings of the earth.

                                                [aa.] Unto him [Jesus] that

                                                            [111.] loved us, and

                                                            [222.] washed us from our sins in his own blood,

 1:6  And

                                                            [333.] hath made us

                                                                        [aaa.] kings and

                                                                        [bbb.] priests

unto God and his Father;

                                                [bb.] to him [be]

                                                            [111.] glory and

                                                            [222.] dominion

for ever and ever. Amen.
