REVELATION

The Time Is Near Revelation 1:3 is the first of seven beatitudes in the book. It says, "Blessed is the one who reads the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear it and take to heart what is written in it because the time is near.” There are several things at work here in this verse. The word blessed is more than just being happy. It is not an emotion, it is a state of BEING. The only truly blessed person is one who humbles himself before the Lord. So the blessed people here are the believers who take to heart the things written in it. There is a great emphasis in Revelation on the church’s response to Jesus and to the prophecy. We are to not only read it but to hear it and take it to heart. Take note that this book is called prophecy (1:3, 22:7,10,18, and 19). This prophecy is straight from the heart of God to His church, the body of Christ. What is one test of true proph ecy? One test is whether it holds true to Scripture or not. You’ll be interested to know that there are over 400 allusions to the Old Testament in this book. The Book of Revelation is a revelation of Jesus Christ Himself.

This can refer to the following three things:

1. Things to know about Jesus Christ Himself;

2. The event in which He comes to this earth;

3. The information He gives to John and to us about what is going to take place in the future. The book of Daniel is very closely related to the events in Revelation.

However, in Daniel 12:8-9 it says, “Although I heard, I did not understand. Then I said, “My lord, what shall be the end of these things?” And he said, “Go your way, Daniel, for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.” Yet in Revelation 22:10 we read: “And he said to me, “Do not seal the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is at hand.”

The time is Near.
