REVELATION CHAPTER 1
A. OBSERVATION
Steps.
1. Determine the Key Words
All
words that has influence in the sentence
Revelation 1:1
“The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him,
to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to
pass; and he sent and signified it
by his angel unto his servant John:”
2. Determine the Main Word
-
Generally
Action words Is the Main Words, but sometimes noun Word can be the main word
-
All words
in the sentence or verses should be centered upon the main word (topical word
for phrase)
-
The
intention of the main word should have connected with another key word
-
It should
say something about the intention of the author
-
The
intention of the Author usually connected with the action word
WHAT? The revelation of Jesus Christ
What God
gave? The Revelation of Jesus Christ
What that
had shown to his Servants? The
revelation of Jesus Christ
What sent
and signified by the Angel to servant John? The Revelation of Jesus Christ
Revelation
= Reveal/manifestation = to Reveal
The
Revelation of Jesus Christ: reveal/manifestation
of Jesus Christ
3. Making Question
1. The answer of the question should be found
in the text
2. Use the Main Word to Create the Questions
3. Make a simple question which actually will
force you to see what is in the bible.
WHO reveal/manifest Jesus Christ?
1. God:
God
reveal Jesus… God (father) does not reveal/manifest another but Jesus alone
2. Jesus:
Jesus
Reveal Him Self… Jesus does not reveal/manifest another but only Jesus
according to the revelation from God the Father.
3. Angel:
Angel reveal
Jesus… Angel does not reveal/manifest another but only Jesus according to the
revelation from God the Father to Jesus and to the Angel.
4. His Servants:
His
servants reveal Jesus… His servant does not revealed/manifested another but
only Jesus according to the revelation from God the Father which was giving to
Jesus and to His servants.
5. John:
John
reveal Jesus… John does not revealed/manifested another but only Jesus
according to the revelation from God the Father which was giving to Jesus and
to His servants.
4. Deeper Observation (Something developed,
and getting stronger)
HOW to reveal/manifest Jesus?
God had
been revealing Jesus because God and Jesus are one and they meet in ones.
Jesus reveals
Himself because he meets the Father who gave him the revelation.
Angel
reveals Jesus because angel meets Jesus who reveals Himself given by the Father.
His
servants revealed Jesus because His servants met Jesus who reveals Himself
given by the Father.
John reveals
Jesus because John met Jesus who reveals Himself given by the Father.
“Things which must shortly come to pass”
Things…
What
things? It’s
all about the reveal/manifestation of Jesus Christ Himself
Who
is Jesus?
He is the
one that God thinks and reveal (in the mind of God)
He is the
one that He Himself thinks and reveal given by God the Father.
He is the
one that the Angel thinks and reveal given by God the Father through Jesus
He was
the one that His servants thought and revealed given by God the Father through
Jesus
He is the
one that the John thought and revealed given by God the Father through Jesus
“Must”: it is a
must…cannot be change (unchangeable)
“Shortly come to pass”: Soon and will not delay.
5. Figure out and compare the synonym of
each key word by using some bible versions/common sense language.
6. Correlation with another verses/ Story
in the bible (connection contextual)
7. Correlation the verses before/after
B. INTERPRETATION
So, Jesus
will reveal/manifest Himself soon (will not delay) to his servants as it did to
John, in the way that they will meet Jesus and it is a must (unchangeable).
C. APLICATION TO CONTEMPLATE,
TO DECIDE, AND TO DEVOTE
1. If God the Father, Jesus,
Angel, the servants, and John were only think and manifest Jesus Christ which
had given by God, what about me? What have I thought and manifested only? What
shall I think and manifest only?
2. If God the Father, Jesus,
Angel, the servants, and John has that manifestation because of met with
God/Jesus personally, have I met Jesus personally? Will I meet Jesus? And will
I ready to meet Jesus
3. Will I ready for the
unchangeable manifestation of Jesus Christ to me soon and very soon?
D. PERSONAL PRAYER
LORD, I REALIZE THAT I AM WORTHLESS FOR YOUR
UNCHANGEABLE MANIFESTATION. BUT AS YOU ALLOW ME TO KNOW IT, HELP ME TO MEET, TO
THINK, AND TO MANIFEST YOU AS MY ONLY FOCUS OF MY LIFE.I WANT TO SEE YOUR
UNCHAGEABLE MANIFESTATION AS YOUR SERVANTS AND JOHN DID HAVE IT. LET YOUR NAME
BE GLORIFY FOR EVER, AMEN.

So..

what he had touch, hear, see, feel, taste or communicate/meet personally.
What did john touch, hear, see, feel taster or communicate
personally?
He touches, hear, see, feel, taste or communicate personally
with The Word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ.
John experiencing personally the Word of God and the Testimony
of Jesus Christ, by touch, feels, hear, see, and communicate/meet.
What is the Testimony of Jesus Christ?
Is What Christ Himself experienced.

the Father
Christ had touch, feel, hear, see, and communicate personally to
the Word of God.
What does the meaning of John experiencing personally the Word
of God and the Testimony of Jesus Christ, by touch, feel, hear, see, and
communicate/meet.
John has touch, feel, hear, see, and communicate personally to
the Word of God and feel what Christ had touch, feel, hear, see, and
communicate/meet personally to the Word of God given by the father.
Who is John? He is the servant of Christ

who touch, feel, hear, see, and communicate/meet personally with the Word of
God and feel what Christ had touch, feel, hear, see, and communicate/meet

have this all:
a. experiencing (to touch, to
hear, to see, to communicate personally with) the Word of God that he might
b. feel what Jesus had
experienced (to touch, to hear, to see, to communicate personally with) the
Word of God given by the father and
c. Testify it (the Word of God).
B. APLICATION TO CONTEMPLATE, TO DECIDE, AND TO DEVOTE

personally with) the Word of God.
b. feel what Jesus had experienced (to touch, to hear, to see, to
communicate personally with) the Word of God given by the father.

Prayer
Lord, know I realize that I am not as the servant of Christ
without having these 3 experiences daily. Help me to touch, to feel, to hear to
see, to communicate personally with the word of God. Help me to feel what Jesus
feel that I might testify what I have been experiencing with You alone in the
Word of God. Amen
