F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Revelation 1:1-8

the Revelation of Jesus Christ Revelation 1:1-8 In His capacity as mediator, our Lord receives from the Father and transmits to His servants, that they may in turn transmit to the world of men, the great panorama of the future, known to Him from before the foundation of the world. Let us not miss the special benediction which is attached to the patient reading and consideration of this wonderful book. The seven churches represent the one Church under different phases and possibly in... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Revelation 1:1-20

The theme of this Book is found in its opening sentence, "The Revelation of Jesus Christ." This should be borne in mind from first to last, and our object should be to see Him as He is here revealed. John opens with a greeting to the seven churches in Asia, employing the words "grace" and "peace." He then emphasized that the words were from God through Christ, who claims to be "the Alpha and the Omega." The first Revelation of Jesus Christ is of Him in His glory as John beheld Him in the... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Revelation 1:1-8

The Revelation of Jesus Christ Revelation 1:1-8 INTRODUCTORY WORDS 1. The word "Revelation." The word "revelation" means an unveiling or uncovering, thus we approach the last Book of the Bible with a definite unveiling of the Divine program, as it is set forth in Jesus Christ. So many people imagine that this wonderful Book is a Book of hidden and unrevealed mysteries. This may be so to those who are not taught of God, but to His own who know Him and His Word, it is the revelation of God. 2.... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Revelation 1:4-5

TRINITY BLESSINGS‘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; 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.’ Revelation 1:4-Deuteronomy : It is in entire accordance with all the arrangements of God, that the Revelation should open with a recognition and a display of the Holy Trinity: for God has never introduced... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 1:1

‘And he sent and signified it by his angel to his servant John.’ The meaning is ‘signified, revealed through signs’. The book constantly uses symbolism to get over its message. We are left to interpret that symbolism carefully and thoughtfully recognising that it is a message from Christ Himself. ‘By his angel’. The message was considered so important that it was committed to a special angelic messenger. ‘His angel’ means simply the messenger whom God chose. ‘To his servant John’. The early... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 1:2

‘Who bore witness of the word of God and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, even of all things that he saw.’ John regularly begins his writings with reference to Him Who is the Word of God (John 1:1-14; 1 John 1:1-4) and Who is Himself the fullest expression of the word of God to man. We are therefore justified here in giving it its twofold meaning. He bore testimony to the Lord Jesus Christ, as the Word from God, and he bore testimony to the revelation proceeding from Him, especially this... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 1:3

‘Blessed is he who reads, and they who hear the words of the prophecy, and keep the things which are written in it, for the time is at hand.’ The book was intended to be read to churches and a special blessing is promised to the one who does the reading and to those who receive its message and respond to it. Books to be read in church were those which were seen as the inspired word of God (later a clear distinction would certainly be made between books to be read in the churches because they... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 1:4-5

‘John to the seven churches who are in Asia: Grace to you, and peace from him who is and who was and who is to come, and from the seven spirits which are before his throne, and from Jesus Christ who is the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of the rulers of the earth.’ This greeting is so full of significance that it requires careful examination. The book is written to ‘the seven churches who are in Asia’. These were individual churches probably selected because they... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 1:5-6

‘To Him who loves us (present tense), and freed us from our sins by (en) His blood (aorist tense), and made us to be a Kingdom, even priests to His God and Father, to Him be the glory and dominion for ever and ever, Amen.’ At the thought of what Jesus has done for us John now bursts into praise. The tenses are significant. His love is continuous, unceasing and unfailing, never ending (present tense). His work of freeing from sin was accomplished once for all (aorist tense) at the cross where He... read more
