Note carefully what the following scripture says.Ģ Peter 1:20 “ Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.” God's Word gives us all we need to know without any speculation whatsoever. There are literally hundreds of different interpretations on Revelation Bible prophecy and especially on the issue of who is the real antichrist, 666 and the mark of the beast and the battle of Armageddon, the key word being “interpretations.” This is the first mistake the majority make as we are told not to have private interpretations of prophecy at all and neither do we need to.
Also, the time for the fulfilment of these messages is now at hand. Note that a blessing is pronounced upon those that read this book and those that hear the words of this prophecy and those that follow its teachings. John saw the testimony of the Old Testament prophets concerning Jesus Christ fulfilled in Him and heard the words of life as they came from the Father through Jesus. Revelation 19:10 states that the testimony of Jesus Christ is the spirit of prophecy and so John is bearing record of the gift of prophecy as it is revealed through Jesus Christ. So it is He that John bares record of here and thus this is a message from Jesus, not from John. The word of God is none other than Jesus Christ, the creator of all things who was manifest in human flesh and dwelt amongst us. We also see that the events that are outlined in the book of Revelation were in the future at the time that they were given. So we see that this Revelation is the revealing of Jesus Christ and that the message originally came from God the Father but since the introduction of sin, all communication between heaven and earth has been through Jesus Christ as He is the only mediator between God and man. 3 Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.”
Revelation 1:1-3 “ The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to show unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John: 2 Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw. Note carefully these first three verses of Revelation.
It is in fact a revealing of Jesus Christ Himself. So we find that the book of Revelation is not only an open book but its contents are definitely intended to be revealed and understood by us if we take a little time to study it. However, the word Revelation comes from the Greek name Apokalypsis, which means a disclosure, a revelation or manifestation and to be revealed. Many have considered the book of Revelation to be a sealed book and unable to be understood.
