As significant current events unfold all around us and voices are
heard everywhere, saying "look here" and "look there," it is
important that we keep our feet firmly grounded on the Word of God.
Outside God''s Word there is no stability and it is easy to be
alarmed or sidetracked by spectacular forecasts that have very
little substance to them. Our primary task as Christians is to know
what God''s Word says about the last days and to refuse any
information that may be hearsay and which cannot be reconciled with
the Scriptures. Anyone could write a book about last things, and
many do, but it''s wise to take much of what is written with a
pinch of salt. However, when, as in the case of Revelation, the
author is God Himself, it is necessary that the facts be well
affirmed. And in the opening verses John takes pains to impress
upon his readers the accuracy and reliability of what he is about
to write. The information did not originate with him. It came from
God the Father to God the Son and was then communicated to John by
an angel. Although our English Bibles record the title of this book
as "The Revelation of John," it is not about John, nor his
revelation. It is about Jesus Christ in His role as ruler,
conqueror and controller of all things, spiritual and temporal.
When Jesus said to His disciples, ''''All power is given unto me in
Heaven and on earth" that is precisely what He meant, namely, ALL
power, total control over all things. My prayer is that this
commentary will help to clarify the immense scope of this book of
Revelation to the minds of those who read it.
