Introduction to Revelation of Jesus Christ
The writing (book) of the Revelation of Jesus Christ to John was written by John, who was one of Jesus' learning-disciples. In Galatians 2:9, Paul wrote that John (along with James and Peter) was considered to be a pillar within the church and a minister to the holy-people (Christians) with a Judean/circumcision background.
Some scholars indicate that it may have been written about 95-96 AD.
As we read, we will clearly see that the Lord Jesus Christ revealed this prophetic information to John so that...
- not only the holy-people living during this age
- but also the people living during the next age
...will be able to read and understand what the Lord Jesus Christ is doing now and what he will do in the future with reference to the realm of mankind and the spirit realm.
The writing (book) of the Revelation of Jesus Christ to John again reveals the full scope of redemption and salvation that is written in the stars and the constellations.
