REVELATION ITS GRAND CLIMAX AT HAND!/Chapter Five - John Beholds the Glorified Jesus

 The first vision in the book of Revelation begins with chapter 1, verse 10.  This vision, like the others in Revelation, is introduced by a declaration that John hears or sees something extraordinary. (Revelation 1:10, 12; 4:1; 6:1)  This first vision is presented in a first-century framework in which messages are addressed to seven congregations  contemporary with John.  But John indicates the time of its real application when  he says: "By inspiration I came to be in the Lord's day." (Revelation 1:10a) When is this "day"? Do the dramatic events of this tempestuous  2-th century have any connection with it? If so, we should  pay attention to the prophecy, as affecting our very lives-even our survival. - 1  THESSALONIANS 5:20, 21.
