His imprisonment there is one of the clues to the dating of the book around 95 A.D. It is interesting that John says he was a prisoner on the Island of Patmos. All he says about himself is that he is a “brother and fellow partaker in the tribulation and kingdom and perseverance which are in Jesus.” John refers to it in chapter one, verse nine as “The testimony of Jesus.” Now, who was this John? He does not clearly identify himself, but the testimony of all the early church fathers is that this was the Apostle John. It is the revelation or unveiling of Jesus Christ that was given to John by God the Father through Jesus. The proper title is the one contained in modern translations: “The Revelation to John.” It is not John’s revelation. If you have a copy of the Authorized King James Version, you will note that the title is stated as “The Revelation of John.” Well that title is also incorrect. There are many revelations in it, but that’s not its name. It is not the “Book of Revelations” (plural). Let’s engage in a sweeping overview of the book, chapter by chapter.Īs we begin with chapter 1, let’s consider the name of the book. So, let’s go for the big picture, and let’s seek the central Biblical message.
In the process they miss the big picture and the fundamental message. Tragically, they often focus on the antichrist rather than Jesus Christ. When studying the book of revelation, most people seem to get bogged down in the details. David Reagan, Greetings in the name of Jesus, our blessed hope!
