Revelation 1 - Part 1

The Book of Revelation

Revelation - apocalypse

It is a book of prophesy

It is a Christ-centered book

1. We will see Him as the risen King
2. He will examine the churches
3. He receives worship and praise and the title-deed to creation
4. He will judge this world and returns in glory

It is an open book

1. Dan 12:4 - seal up the book until the time of the end
2. Rev 22:10 - Joh was told to seal it not

This book is a reasonable, orderly unvailing of Christ and the victory found only in Him.
