John’s Commission and Introduction to our Lord God Almighty – the Alpha and the Omega. This is all about the unveiling of Jesus Christ more so than it is about the unveiling of future events. We must not ever divorce the person of Jesus Christ from the prophecies. They are first and foremost about Him as He is revealed over time.
The Father gave Jesus this revelation to show His bondservants what “must soon take place.” In effect, the events written about would now be launched onto the scene of human history, as “must” is rendered in the present tense. This indicates that certain aspects of what is going to be revealed to John will start occurring in his day-and-age and are NOT things or events we are waiting until the End Times to experience.
It is all inspired by the Spirit of God and was intended to be delivered to the bondservants of Jesus Christ. Thus, this is not a message whose primary audience are those in Christianity at large, and it is not a message targeted at those who are in the “world”.
