Then he said to me, “These words are faithful and
true.” And the Lord God of the holy
prophets sent His angel to how His servants the things which must shortly take
place.

Here
is just a reassurance that all of this is not to be taken lightly. This is the
absolute truth. The prophets such as Daniel, Ezekiel, and Isaiah (to name just
a few), have all spoken of this special time in history. We even read this in
the 24th chapter of Matthew and in the 21st and 22nd chapter of Luke. It is the
same information, regardless of who pens it, because the author is God. (DR)

The
angel's words reinforce an important truth: Everything John saw in Revelation
will come to pass. John's words are not mystical and the Apocalypse is not a
record of his bizarre dreams or the result of an over active imagination.
Further it is not an allegory (a form of translation) from which readers can
find hidden meanings of their own concoction. It is an accurate description of
events and persons that are yet to come. (DR)
