I looked this up and didn't find it. However,I didn't look through everything. Anyway, I thought that the book of Revelation was written by John (the one Jesus 'loved'). Someone else said that it was written by a different John. Is this correct? Thanks! dat | ||||||
2 | Which John in Revelation? | Rev 1:9 | Robert Nicholson | 74140 | ||
Greetings Dat: The seven churches of God in Asia would know the person writing to them. His name is mentioned 4 times and he refers to himself as "a servant of Christ" chp 1:1, "a brother and companion in tribulation chp 1:9 and that he was exiled to the island of Patmos "for the testimony of Jesus Christ" chp. 1:9. It is interesting that the Lord Jesus told his dsiciple John (who became the Apostle John) that after he was gone to heaven he would send his Spirit who would "show you things to come" (John 16:13b) Although the Bible does not tell us clearly that this is indeed John of John's gospel, Church HIstory reveals that the Apostle John was a leader at the church of Ephesus after the death of Paul. As such John exercises pastoral care over the churches of Asia Minor. Several of the early church fathers wrote about John's exile to Patmos by the Roman emperor Domitian about A.D.95 It would appear that God choose to reveal the deep trues of the Son of God in John's Gospel and in his epistles. It would seem reasonable that he would reveal to his servant "The Revelation of Jesus Christ" Rev. 1:1 In Christ Robert |
