Revelation 1:9–11 [Session 8]

March 12, 2014 by Mark Trotter

The Revelation of the Glorified Christ, Part 1

Back into the verse by verse exposition of the Book of Revelation. To this point, the Spirit of God has inspired John to simply introduce the revelation. In our study this week, John actually begins to “unveil” the revelation God had given to him.

Recap in 10 Tweets

  1. Though John was a spiritual/biblical “hall of fame-er,” John simply saw himself as our “brother.” #WordStrong
  2. John remained humble because he had just seen the risen and glorified Christ! #WordStrong
  3. If you ever think you’re “all that,” it’s an indication it’s been a while since you’ve seen the risen & glorified Christ. #WordStrong
  4. John assumes that if we’re his “brother,” we are by necessity his “companion in tribulation.” #WordStrong
  5. John couldn’t have fathomed a believer in Jesus Christ who wasn’t experiencing tribulation. #WordStrong
  6. From a GEOGRAPHICAL & PHYSICAL standpoint, John was in Patmos when he received the revelation. #WordStrong
  7. From a CHRONOLOGICAL & SPIRITUAL standpoint, John was in heaven on the “Day of the Lord” when he received the Revelation. #WordStrong
  8. John was exiled to Patmos b/c of what he was doing with the Word of God, & b/c of what the Word of God was doing with him! #WordStrong
  9. What John “SAW,” God told him to write in a book. We now call it the 66th & final Book of the Bible…the Book of Revelation! #WordStrong
  10. The 7 churches to whom the Revelation was written were both REAL churches & REPRESENTATIVE churches. #WordStrong
