A Greeting From Christ: Revelation 1b

In Revelation, we have words from right off the Apostle John's pen. They are his words, but they have been inspired. He was commissioned an agent to record these prophecies that wrap up God's plan and get us all the way to the end of the Age. So that, the Bible takes us all the way from the very beginning, eons before any of us were born, all the way to the Last Day. It's all there, and what comes between the two covers, are the most important details of history.

John, speaking for the Father, and the Spirits around God's throne (are "the seven spirits" some reference to the Holy Spirit?), and Jesus Anointed brings us some great, some good . . . some wonderful news. We have a greeting from Jesus himself!

Grace to you and peace from . . . Jesus Anointed.

If you read the book of Revelation, you are automatically taken into the presence of Christ. The reader is greeted by Christ himself. Jesus wishes peace to you! He prays that you find grace!

Jesus says "hello", or "hi", or maybe even "hey!", when you begin to read Revelation.

The bearer of witness, the trusted one, first of the dead to be born again and ruler of the kings of the earth . . . has written a letter to you.

And he wishes the very best for you. Read on.
