Revelation 1:13-20In the midst of the seven candlesticks One like unto the Son of Man The Son of Man amid the candlesticksI.His wonderful position. “In the midst of the seven golden candlesticks.”1. This implies His presence with His people (Exodus 33:14-15; Psalms 132:13-14; Isaiah 43:1-2).

Revelation 1:17-20I fell at His feet as dead.ReverenceI. Every age has its moral as well as its social and political tastes; and reverence is not one of the most popular virtues of the present day. Many a man who would be anxious to be considered brave, or truthful, or even patient and benevolent, would not be altogether pleased to hear himself described as a reverent man. Reverence he imagines to be the temper of mind which readily crouches down to the falsehood which it dares not confront;... read more

1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John: Ver. 1. The Revelation ] Or manifestation of many divine mysteries by the Mediator (who came out of his Father’s bosom) to John, who had the mind of Christ, and that purposely for the behoove and benefit of the family of faith, who are all of his cabinet council,John 1:18; John 1:18 ; 1 Corinthians 2:16 ;... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Revelation 1:2

2 Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw. Ver. 2. Who bare record of the word ] This John the divine, then, was John the Evangelist, whatever Dennis of Alexandria dispute to the contrary. It was Moses’s honour (saith one), who was God’s peculiar favourite, to be penman of the first book of the Old Testament; and it was John’s honour, Christ’s peculiar favourite, to be the penman of the last book of the New Testament. read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Revelation 1:3

3 Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand. Ver. 3. Blessed is he that readeth ] sc. With attention, affection, application, and practice; as knowing that this book hath tot sacramenta, quot verba, so many words, so many mysteries (Jerome epist, ad Paulin.); and that these words are vivenda non legenda, not more to be read than to be lived, as one said once of the 119th Psalm.... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Revelation 1:4

4 John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne; Ver. 4. From him which is ] An august description of the Father by a manifest allusion to Exodus 3:14 . Some critic reading the words απο ο ων και ο ην as they lie in the original, would be apt to complain of an incongruity, and to say, Nove et duriter dictum. But God, methinks, should have leave given... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Revelation 1:5

5 And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, Ver. 5. And from Jesus Christ ] Who is here set last of the three persons, because more is to be said of him; both as touching his threefold office, and a threefold benefit therehence redounding unto us. That hath loved us ] See Ezekiel 16:6-9 . Christ, that heavenly pelican, revived his... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Revelation 1:6

6 And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. Ver. 6. And hath made us kings ] To rule in righteousness, to lord it over our lusts, to triumph over and trample on all our spiritual adversaries, being more than conquerors through him that loved us, and laid down his life for us, that we might reign in life by one Jesus Christ,Romans 5:17; Romans 5:17 .

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Revelation 1:7

7 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen. Ver. 7. Behold, he cometh ] He is already upon the way, and will be with us shortly. Let us hasten his coming, and say, as Sisera’s mother, Why are his chariots (his clouds) so long in coming? Why tarry the wheels of his chariots?Judges 5:28; Judges 5:28 . Shall wail ] Gr. κοψονται , shall smite their breasts or thighs; the... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Revelation 1:8

8 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty. Ver. 8. Which is, and which was ] The Father is called "He that is," Exodus 3:14 . The Son "He that was," John 1:1 . The Holy Ghost, "He that cometh," John 16:8-13 , as Aretius observeth. Or, by this periphrasis may be understood the indeterminable eternity of the Son of God. Much like whereunto both in sound and sense is that which the heathens ascribed to their... read more
