Revelation Unveiled Ep. 4 - 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 is 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 this which shall be “metatauta” or “after these things” (the future)

So the outline is:

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

In this week's episode, we will do a deep dive into Revelation Chapter 1, including an interpretation of this first set of visions 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!)
