Discuss Revelation 1 Page 47

I think the Bible is true & in Revelation these
things John seem and was giving to him threw the son we show believe just as you can feel the wind
but can,t see it but you can see the result.

God told Dannel to shut up the book until the end of day's now with the computer we can understand what could of never been understood before

good thing you don't have to believe in the rapture to go my son does not believe but he doesn't spend any time in the book I know it's there because I do study the word, that's why it is important to have a concordance while your studying.

What I think about "Revelation" does not impress
Heaven at all. What God knows about "Revelation"
and what of it I allow Him to reveal to me is what
He desires. What He has revealed to me although is
simply,"The Revelation" not "A Revelation." We can
be lost in the study of "A Revelation" and miss
the blessing of "The Revelation of Jesus Christ."
Read Revelation? Yes! Understand all the symbolic
scriptures? No! Not in this life. May I also add,
that it is a waste of your time to comment on the
delusional. The Word of God forbids it.

HEY GUYS!! You want to know Whats so funny but overall IRONIC. pale skin, blue eyes, brown stringy hair, basically im describing a hippie but anyway this is the Jesus Christ of the world Buuuut. we have something called the holy bible (kjv only) In the book of REVELATION, 1:13-15 TO BE EXACT, bared record by a man that actually seen CHRIST by the name of ST. JOHN which by the way is VERY DESCRIPTIVE about JESUS CHRIST'S APPEARENCE. LOL. this world is something else. ''Let the WORD of GOD be TRUE BUT EVERY MAN a LIE'' simple as that.

Hey saints we can't let Malakoot's 6/05/11 comment go unchecked. Where Malakoot said, " Jesus appeared to many in their sleep and told them to follow this Ahmad Al-Hassan!" If this wasn't such a sad delusion, with serious potential
harm to the ignorant and unlearned, then this would be hilarious and "thigh slapping funny". Read Gal.1:8 anyone speaking as poor Malakoot is accursed! There is no other name other than Jesus Christ whereby mankind can be saved. Acts 4:12. The idea of the Lord Jesus appearing to some while they slept ad instructed them to follow Ahmad Al-Hassan is nuts!! No sane intelligent person would give such an insane statement any consideration. But i do agree with Malakoot's statement that he isn't like "the FALSE IMPOSTERS"
O no i agree because he is "THE REAL IMPOSTER"!!!!

The Comforter and a messenger from Jesus has appeared, his name is Ahmad Al-Hassan, please search more in the matter as many saw Jesus in their sleep ordering them to follow him as this man isn't like the false impostors who asks for reign and power, there's the-savior website to know more and yamani network on youtube.. thank you

I agree completely with what Tina said. The Bible shouldn't be argued over its here for us to learn from and live by. I think by arguing over what one passage may mean to one person when it means something completely different to the another is just rude. I think that GOD must feel somewhat dishoned and insulted to see his children quarelling about the facts. GOD made us all different for a reason. Different people understand things in different ways. For instance I was reading Genesis chapter 6 earlier and didn't have the slightest clue of what it was saying but fortunatley someone commented on it and explained it to me in a way i could understand. I mean the Bible can be confusing at times at least for me, so god created us all different so if one doesn't understand the way He wrote it someone can come and shed some light on the matter. which ultimateley is our life goal to teach others about Jesus and His teachings.

lets keep an open mind an not be too freeked out no matter what GOD looks like.

were in armageddomn now, the result of the second coming will be the availiability of the holy spirit "the comforter" for all.

I believe it is the word of God our Saviour, not to be argued over or changed, but to be Believed. It has not been written for our opinion's but for our knowledge to be ready for his glorious coming!

AS WE READ THIS WE LIVE IT MY TAKE ON IT IS WE SHOULD DO THE BEST WE CAN TO AS HUMANS AND WE ARE NOT PERFEIKED MAY GOD BLESS US ALL

As is shown in the above comments there are many, many interpretations of the Book of Revelations. Just as there are many, many interpretations and versions of the Bible. The King James Version being the choice of many of these interpretors.

We should not discuss on how our Lord looks like because we are going to find it out soon. He is coming soon in the clouds.We must pray and try to live our lives in His guidance.

Why does the King James bible say we are kings and priests in Rev.1:6 and 5:10? (I think it must have originally been a misstranslation in the 1611 bible and should be revealed as such, and corrected in all new bibles and anywhere else possible.) The traslation "kindom" of priests fits with all other scriptures, that one does not....All true belivers are priests unto God through Jesus Christ our Savior and High Priest. We are a royal priesthoos and our job as such is to help reconcile others to Him. The notion that we are "kings" has created arrogance and pride in many instances and led people off track. We are servants of the Most High God....period.

Mels... I agree it is not the message here, but I think the comments about it have to do with how we perceive people and the world with relation to color, IF some of the interpretation is correct.

Jesus is depicted as a white man. Thus God is. Good. Angels. etc... It all comes from this representation.

Truly if it doesn't matter what Jesus was would you be willing to change your depictions/art to reflect His true birth?

The fact is race does matter. Maybe not to you and I, but over 2000 yrs of influence.... it has had a huge impact.

It is funny because during winter we hear about overpasses icing up before your highway and roads.
We don't label it as white ice. Just ice. Suddenly we have ice on asphalt as Black ice. Why? Ice is no more obvious on either pavement, but yet we have found away to label ice on asphalt as if it is worse. Lol.

First and foremost I don't understand why everyone is making an issue out of whether Jesus is black or white? That's not the message here, the fact of the matter is that it's the end of times people we need to buckle down and spread the Word of God throughout the entire world. We are in the end of times; the earthquakes, dead birds, tsunamis, fighting and strife breaking out around the world it's outrageous. Look around, watch the news , read the book of revelation and heed the warning pray for the peace of Israel and teach your children the only way to eternal life is through Jesus!!!!!

Yes "Alpha and the Omega" refers to the Almighty God. The reason being is that Almighty is always a term that God is being addressed , whereas Jesus is
mentioned as a mighty God but never the Almighty.

The term also appears in Rev. 21:6, the last part of verse 7 reads " I will be his God and he will be my son" (NASV 2008).Jesus always refers to his followers as "BROTHERS" whereas God refers to the followers of Jesus as his SONS. So the term Alpha and Omega in verse 21:6 also applies to God. It is therefore logical that in verse 22:13 the term also must be applied to God.

and Omega

Again, everyones comments were inaccurate, the first chapter is confirming who Christ's spirit was working with over 2000 years ago. 7 churches and not the whole world. Then Christ is giving John information for the future, because Christ knew that satan was coming to change all the information about him. So therefore, as no one stated about the first chapter, that it clearly describes christ's complexion, which is dark skinned. Why was that important for him to point out? because satan came and changed it to make our lord and savior look white. read again, 13th and 14 verse, anything burned in fire turns black. read with understanding. Now that being said, you should wonder if christ is black who else is black? could God the father have made him in his image? how about the angels? how about the jews?

I am taking some time out to read and study the whole book of revelation this month. I just want to comment on the first chapter, about what I got. First revelation was revealed to the apostle John through an angel. It came directly from God through, Jesus Christ. John wrote it in form of a letter. He addressed this letter to the seven churches in the country of Asia. I can appreciate this letter, because it is encouraging me as a Christian (Christ-Like) to resist the cult of emperor worship and to stand firm in persecution. Jesus said that He is the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, there is no in between. He had John write this letter to give us a chance to get and keep it right. He's sending warnings for us to get ourselves in order, or we will miss the mark, I know this is just the first chapter, but the book of revelation, is an fulfuillment of the things that are going on in our world today, Jesus is on His way back for the second coming, and He is giving everybody a chance to get it right, or we will be left behind. I suggest that everybody read and study the book of revelation, and take it very serious. I know some people say there scared to read the book of revelation, but that only means your scared, because your not ready, but why be scared when all you have to do is make your calling and election sure, and allow God to work all that out of you in Jesus name.

I think it's sad how everyone has the immage of God in their head as a man with long hair, little do most people know, a gay man drew that picture and homosexuality is total contrary to the word of God. People try to argue with me and they joke about God and say he must be albino but that's terrible because I'm sure that hurts him and they should be the one who shoved the crown on him or the one roman solider who beat him until he was un-noticable. I know I have tons of spelling errors but that's what i think!

I LOVE JESUS!!!!!!!:)

Dear Dan, The ones that Christ referred to pertaining to the dead 'HEARING' His voice, were those that had died IN FAITH in God's Word, thus promises, pertaining to that which was to come, prior to Christ coming into the world in the form of a man; in the likeness of sinful flesh, to die for the sins of mankind. All those that had died prior to His coming, who HEARD God's Word; words, in the way that means to BELIEVE God's Word; to thus have faith in God's Word, are all those who's souls went down into the midst of the earth, not into Hell, but nevertheless in a particular grave site, where death held them hostage, as they waited for the prophesied; foretold, coming Messiah; Saviour. As, the Lord had promised them, saying:

Isaiah 26:19 Thy dead men shall live, together with MY DEAD BODY shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead.

1 Corinthians 15:21 For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.

Hebrews 2:9 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste DEATH FOR EVERY MAN.

Philippians 2:8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

2 Corinthians 1:9 But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God which raiseth the dead:

Acs 2:24 Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it.

Romans 6:9 Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.

Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

1 Peter 3:18 For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:

After Christ came OUT of that fleshly body; the form of a man; the likeness of sinful flesh, He THEN went to the part of the midst of the earth that is Hell, and TOOK AWAY from Satan the KEYS of Hell and Death!

Revelation 1:18 I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.

THEN He want to another part of the midst of the earth where all those souls that had BELIEVED God; believed the Word of God preached to them, and had thus died in faith, looking forward to the coming Saviour; Redeemer; Messiah, slept; rested, waiting for Him to come. And He took them, who were all held CAPTIVE by death, in the grave, all CAPTIVE UNTO HIMSELF, and AROSE, with them, they with HIM, from the dead:

As prophesied in the Old Testament:

Ezekiel 37:13 And ye shall know that I am the LORD, when I have opened your graves, O my people, and brought you up out of your graves,

He FULFILLED that prophesy in the New Testament, upon rising from the dead:

Matthew 27:50 Jesus when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.

51 And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;

52 And THE GRAVES WERE OPENED; and many bodies of the saints which slept AROSE,

53 And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.

54 Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God.

Ephesians 4:8 Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led CAPTIVITY captive, and gave gifts unto men.

Since our Saviour; Redeemer; Messiah, is come in the flesh:

John 1: 11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not.

12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

John 5:24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath EVERLASTING LIFE, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.

Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Romans 5:21 That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.

The book of Revelation is for those who are ready to be with Jesus after rapture must have taken place. It's also a book that will reveal and prepair you for rapture. It talks about the 7 seals. In the days of the Seventh Angle... I love this book too much. God bless you.

i beleive all the bible must be read and if we believe 1 book why not all,the bible is the basic instruction before leaving earth and if we chose to take one part and fix it to fit our lifestyle, we all got to answer at the end. the bible is so clear and if we allow God to direct us fully he will show us the right way .

This is where God commanded Adam And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:

17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

Before I begin let me say that God hath made 7 dispensation meaning God made different time of salvation and for every time, there was salavtion as I explain thru the knowledge of God wherein God commanded Adam to freely eat all the fruits in the garden, but the tree of knowledge of good and evil thou shalt not eat of it, for in the day you eat of it, you will surely die.

So man disobeyed God when they eat the fruit of good and evil they died on that day because 1,000 years is ONE DAY FOR THE LORD. But before God remove them from the garden, He didn't let them go out without changing their dress, God put them with a SKIN OF ANIMALS which is the SKIN of the LAMB, THE TYPE AND SHADOWS TO COME, meaning this is where God will take place his salvation to mankind. The SKIN OF THE LAMB represent the BLOOD OF CHRIST to be SHED UPON (Heb.9:22) Without shedding of blood there is no remission of sin.

The Skin covering of Adam & Eve representing what God will do to remove the CURSE (DEATH) which came into the world by ONE MAN, and so SIN entered the world, and DEATH passeth to ALL MEN, for ALL HAVE SIN. ( Romans 5:12) We are all BORN SINNERS IN THE SIGHT OF GOD ( Psalms 51:5) There is none righteous, no not anyone in the sight of God. ( Romans 3:10)

The only solution for this CURSE that we INHERITED IS THRU RECONCILIATION BY OBEDIENCE THRU GOD'S WORD, THRU IMMERSION BY BAPTISM IN WATER IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST FOR THE REMISSION OF OUR SINS, AND YOU SHALL RECEIEVE THE GIFT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. ( Acts 2:38-39), wherein you will clothed with Christ, and we will be buried thru his death thru baptism, that is why Galacians 3:27= All have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. Because there is only ONE LORD, ONE FAITH, and ONE BAPTISM (Ephessians 4:5) There is only ONE GOD and he is the ALPHA, the OMEGA the BEGINNING and END ( Revelation 1:8)
He is the IMAGE OF THE INVICIBLE GOD ( Colossians 1:15) He is the ONE True GOD that was manifest in the FLESH ( 1 Timothy 3;16) He is the True God and eternal LIFE ( 1 John 5:20) And He will be SOON COMING IN THE CLOUDS FOR HIS BRIDE (The Church) Titus 2:13) ( Matthew 16:18-19) For there is no other name in heaven whereby we must be saved ( Acts 4:12) He is the messiah that the Israelites until now still waiting for Him to come, but doesnt understand this Messiah is already came back to heaven in His throne as God Spirit ( John 4:24) To God be the glory in Jesus Christ name, amen.

Godbless you all

Revelation 1:1 The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God ( Jesus ) gave him ( John ),...and he (Jesus who is God) sent an angel.
Revelation 22:6 The God ( Jesus ) of the spirits of the prophets sent his angel.
Revelation 22:16 I Jesus ( God ) have sent my angel.
So, the question is who sent the angel to John according to Revelation 1:1,22:6,16? Jesus who is God did.
So Jesus who is God,gave him ( John ) the Revelation of himself and reaveled it through an angel that God ( Jesus ) sends to John.

Yes Revelations is very important, especally the messages to t he 7 churches.Jesus tells us in Revelations WHAT is going to happen just not when: Even Jesus himself said only the father knows when Jesus will come back. Revelations important absolutly, The entire Bible is important. The teachings and micicles of Jesus in Matthew,Mark,Luke and John are just as important, in those books Jesus tells what we should and should not do.Even John wrote in Revelations, that Jesus told him to lock up a lot of what was shown to him, and to NOT reveal it, so all of what Jesus shown to John is NOT in Revelations. My answer the E N T I R E bible is for our own good.

Your argument is that after salvation and baptism one can rest easy? The rest of the bible is a waste then? The apostles didn't need to read revelations because the author of it lived and amongst them, read Luke 21 and mark 13 and you will see those parallel teachings straight out of the 7 seals in revelations. Those teaching were for the wise of the end times ONLY! I don't believe nor endorse teachings of any rapture simply because the rapture theory is not biblical, as for the 144000, anyone who can read can see that in reference to 144000, the scriptures clearly state 144000 FROM THE TRIBES OF ISRAEL! if you keep reading the scriptures also state that huge numbers that could not be counted were under the altar whom had washed their robes. (these would be the rest f the world).. The book of Revelations is full of wisdom but it states over and over again, for those who have eyes to see and ears to hear. The title of the book itself means to uncover and reveal... read it with understanding and you just might change your mind

I believe Revelation is just as important as the gospels. To minimize ANY portion of the Word of God is a mistake I think. Many avoid Revelation because it is a difficult book to understand with all the symbols, but Jesus said "Unto YOU (His Disciples) it is given to know" If we study, God will reveal, all the time. Seek and ye SHALL find.

I understand your feeling Thevedd's and so many Christians have actually constructed their faith around a Rapture and 144,000. But if you step back and look at salvation .. in 33 AD (60 years before Revelations was written).. Jesus had the last supper and made the new covenant with all of us and he suffered the torture and crucifixion and redeemed us and arose on third day. He appeared to them and the Spirit appeared to them and there was a a Pentecost and Jesus Ascended. You have everything you need right there to believe and be Baptized and to be saved. You need not read another word or breathe another breath. Most of the Apostles never heard of or read Revelations (on this earth). Many of the martyrs never read it. Whatever is going to happen is going to happen. You have everything you need in the gospels (actually) to believe the Apostles creed and be Baptized.
