God supernaturally shows John glorified Jesus and a glimpse of future end time events both in heaven and on earth.
The elder John wrote down this encouragement to churches facing various trials. By this time John was larger than life to many- likely the last living apostle of Jesus.
As the gloried Jesus is revealed we see he is the triumphant King over all- the Lord Almighty.
When coming face to face with glorified Jesus John’s response was visceral. Nobody had to tell him what to do. “I fell at his feet as a dead man.”
Revere the risen and glorified Christ!
It is good to remember, especially when reading this book, that Jesus is the revelation. (Revelation means “revealing” or “uncovering”.)
Lord Jesus, you are the beginning and the end- and all points in between declare your glory. I am thankful to be in the middle of that number.
