A vision of the Son of Man
I John , your brother and fellow partaker in the tribulation and kingdom and patience in Jesus, was on the island called Patmos because of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ. 10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day , and heard behind me a loud voice like a trumpet , 11 Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last . Write on a scroll what you see and send it to the seven churches which are in Asia : to Ephesus , Smyrna, Pergamum , Thyatira , Sardis , Philadelphia and Laodicea.
Our Bible study today is in Revelation 1 : 9-11 . But before we get to an analysis of this Scripture , fact remains that Revelation is divided into three parts. The division clearly in Revelation 1:19 where it says : ” Write the things which thou hast seen, and they are, and the things which shall be hereafter . ”
The first part , things you’ve seen . Revelation 1:9-20 . The second part, the things that are , Revelation 2 and 3 and the third part , the things that shall be hereafter , Revelation 4-22 .
The first part revolves around John’s vision on the island of Patmos. The portion for our study is the first section of this part. We might call it the circumstances of vision.
Revelation 1:9 says: “ I John, your brother and fellow partaker in the tribulation and kingdom and patience in Jesus, was on the island called Patmos because of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ”
Come and hear these words of the book of Revelation , not only you'll be blessed but full of God's glory !!!
