The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to show
His servants – things which must shortly take place. And He sent and signified it by His angel to
His servant John, who bore witness to the word of God, and to the testimony of
Jesus Christ, to all things that he saw.

The title of the
book of Revelation is the “unveiling of the glory of
Jesus Christ” (Rev. 1:1), because it reveals the
perfection of His heart,
power and
leadership in
preparing the nations for the glory of God (Hab. 2:14; Num. 14:21; Ps. 72:19;
Isa. 11:9). The Father’s primary purpose in giving us this book is to reveal
the infinite and
eternal beauty of
His Son (Isa. 4:2; Hag. 2:7), as well as, the brilliance of His unfolding “battle”.

Revelation – unveiling/drawing aside curtain of
concealment
·
The Father commissioned Jesus to
“unveil” certain dimensions of His infinite beauty and
eternal majesty (Isa.
4:2; Hag. 2:7), as well as, the brilliance of
His unfolding “battle plan” (Dan.
9:24), revealing His heart, power and leadership in preparing the nations for
God’s glory (Hab. 2:14). The Father commissioned Jesus, who sent and signified
the revelation by His angel to His servant John (Rev. 1:1; 22:6, 16), who was
commanded to write and send it to the churches (9x Rev. 1:11, 19; 2:1, 8, 12,
18; 3:1, 7, 14).
