A) This revelation is from Jesus Christ, which God the Father gave Him. For those who are wondering, we are using the New King James Version for this expository reveal. One of the reasons is simply this: this wondrous book is given for the sake of the servants of Jesus Christ. It is a message that He sent to us and signified by the Angel, specifically to John the Apostle. Let's delve into the meaning of the word "signify". Transliteration: sémainó, Phonetic spelling: (say-mah'-ee-no), Definition: to give a sign, Usage: I signify, indicate, give a sign, make known.
B) Verse 2. reads, “To his servant John, who bore witness to the word of God and to the testimony of Jesus Christ to all things that he saw.” Let’s start with the basics: the phrase “the word of God and the testimony of Christ” is similar to “the law and the testimony” from the Old Testament.
C) Verse three introduces the beautiful concept that those who read and hear the words of this prophecy are blessed. This implies that if you read or listen to this book, including through an audiobook of the Book of Revelation, you will be blessed. Some believe that the reading and hearing must occur in a church setting, but this is not explicitly stated in the scripture. Legalism is not beneficial.
