Discuss Revelation 1 Page 41

"he cometh with clouds" - taken from Jer. 4:13, which referred not to YHWH or a Judean messiah, but to a foreign invader.

This book is the greatest book in the bible. It not only shows the justness of God but also shows the immense love that God has for His creation adn goes to great strides to give them the opportunity to repent.

To Ar's comment: I hope this helps you..."every eye will see Him"...and He's not coming Quietly either...The Day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night in which the heavens and earth pass away with a great noise and melt with great heat....ONE TIME.

I thank God for the revelation so that we prepare ourself for what will take place it was like in in the old tetament before God was doing something He reveal to his prophets what is going to happen like Abraham God reveal to him that He is about to destroy Sodom. We are living in the endtime where God is preparing His childrens what is about to come so that His childrens must not lose hope for a crown is waiting for them they that hold on to God

The most important thing I got Revelation 1 is that God has a plan for everyone of us. The world would decide to percecute us, but would save us and use. John was left there all alone and blind. He was not alone coz he was full of the Holly spirit, so God used him. For us threre shall come a time when we will be hunted down as men and women of God to be killed by the devil. Dark forces will soon rule the world and Christians will have no place in it. Let's be like John. Let's put our total trust in God and see what happens. Let's have unwervaring faith and be prepared to die for him. That way we shall enjoy the fruits of his love like John did.

Jesus in his glorious state as how he looks in heaven ..how he will will be clothed when he come back to claim his church the candlesticks was reflecting the King of Kings who liveth and is coming to claim his church

To Raehel: If you have just started studying the New Testament, I suggest you start reading from Matthew. If you have read all the new testament and have come to the last book, the Revelation, then from what I have read and studied the book in my church, I can tell you that John is exiled to an island of Greece called Patmos.It must be a Sunday as he refers in verse 10 the Lord's day and he, John is full of the Holy Spirit when Jesus comes to him and gives the revelation . Jesus has a message for the seven existing churches then.And Jesus is surrounded with seven golden candlesticks which are the seven existing churches. This first chapter is the general idea of the following chapters,where John sees in detail everything and writes down. It is about the situation of the churches then, which is explained in the next two chapters. From the fourth chapter and onward, John is called up to heaven to see how the latter days will be on earth, after the Rapture.I hope this helps you a little.

WAS RECOMMENDED TO CHOSE ONE WORD THAT WILL SET A GOAL FOR ME IN 2014. MY WORD IS "JESUS"

John was in the Holy Spirit praying on the Lord's day, the first day of the week when he entered another dimension and was brought into the revelation of Jesus and the Day of the Lord.

In verse 1 of this chapter, it clearly stated that this is the Revelation of Jesus Christ. So I think (rev1:8) is clearly referring to the Lord Jesus who is the exact express image of God almighty, if this verse was referring to God the father, i think it would use God/LORD. in ( rev 19:13) and his name is called The Word of God. You now ask urself is there a different between God and his Word? Personally i don't think there is a different between God and his Word and that's the reason the bible says in (john1:1-3) IN the beginning was the Word Jesus, and the Word Jesus was with God, and the Word Jesus was God. The same Word Jesus was with God in the beginning. All things were made by him; and without him was not anything made that was made. See also ( 1timothy 1 13) and without controversy great is the mystery of godliness; God was manifest in the fresh justified in the spirit, seen of angels, preached unto gentiles, believed on in the world, received up unto glory. So i think if rev 1:8 was referring to God the father it would have use a word like, LORD/God not Lord for instance ( psalms 110;1) the LORD said to my Lord, or ( Deut 6;4) hear o Israel the Lord our God is one. If you observes this verses you will clearly see this referring to the Father and Son which it clearly stated

God is Awesome and the True and Living GOD and He is the King of Kings Greatly to be Praise!!!

It talks about John being Gods servant, and witness to the coming of Jesus Christ, I believe it explains when Jesus returns every person no matter where they are will see him. God returns with the white as wool hair with the double edged sword and seven stars greeting the seven churches it says he lives amount the dead and now lives with those who are living.

I believe that 1Timothy 6:16 refers to the same figure being described in John 5:37. There is a "Father" whom no man can see, nor hear His voice.

Many have seen The Lord God Almighty. This tells me, that the 'Father/Son/Holy Ghost' DOES NOT include Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is the 'first born of all CREATION...The Son of The Son of The Trinity. Revelation 1:6 seems to back this up [GOD has a Father]. The Godhead ( Isaiah 44:6) is composed of two figures...The Lord God Almighty & Jesus Christ.

I think it a shame - a travesty in fact - that translators should feel free to write what John did not. To whit: The expression,"I am the Alpha and the Omega." Said expression does not occur in the Westcott and Hort Greek text. It is obvious and dishonest ploy to make Jesus appear to be his own father, namely Jehovah. It is then in disagreement with verse 8 and also at odds with Revelation 21:6

God is great and greatly to be praise!

God is awesome, never leave his own.

Oh, it's rich! After the Ages depicted in this chapter has run over, thru the history when people has had different ideas of who He is (JESUS) He is appearing here in the last days to reveal Who He is. For the book was to be revealed in the last days as John state it. He is revealing Himself being the Almighty God, the Alpha and Omega (that's to say He is. A to Z) talk of the Lord of host, Rapha, Jireh, Savior, Healer, etc. He is all that, in other words Jehovah of OT. became Jesus of N.T AMEN

Thank you Lord....for I am nothing without you and I can do nothing without you. I LOVE MY LORD AND SAVIOR

God has power over everything!

God is great & great to pray for all he has done in saving my own life.

I love the bible it is awesome

The revelation was given to John the apostle while he was alone on the Isle of Patmos. This confirms that gone is the dispensation of the church (7 churches of Asia)that God revealed to John, an individual in fellowship with God the Holy Spirit, Jesus Christ. This is the dispensation of the Holy Spirit in the individual believer.

God is God! There was none before Him from the beginning and none will come after Him. He is eternal; He was, He is and He is to come. No doubt He said it and He is sure to do what He said because HE is the Truth Himself..Amen come Lord Jesus come...

According to my thought, Every one who read,hear and keeps are bless all the time.
Amen

It's the final answer and solution to a 850,000 word puzzle, that no one on earth has solved yet. When someone finally does, everyone will see that the second arrival is: TRUTH, WISDOM AND WORDS

glory be to god and let his will be done amen.

Alpha and Omega are the beginning and end of the Greek Alphabet. The Lord is telling us that He is King, He was in the beginning and He will be in the End. He is the creator of the earth and all mankind, and He will be the terminator of this present Earth. He rules at present from His throne in heaven. He was in eternity past and also history past as he was the creator of Adam and Eve. Then He shall be in eternity future and also in all the events which will unravel during the period from the first coming of Christ to the second coming of Christ. He will be totally in charge and no matter how bad it looks, Christ will always be victorious and will make His people victorious. God’s three-fold eternal testimony is repeated here from verse 4 for the reassurance of all His children. The Alpha and Omega is called a merism, in which something in totality is expressed by two contrasting parts, such as old and new. What we have here is beginning and ending. In other words, God is the God of every moment of history, from beginning to end.
