“And from Jesus Christ—Loyal Witness, Firstborn from the dead, Ruler of all earthly kings. Glory and strength to Christ, who loves us, who blood-washed our sins from our lives.” Revelation 1:5 (The Message)
It must have meant the world to the Apostle John, nearly 90 years old and exiled on the island of Patmos, to receive a personal vision and visitation from Jesus. Many have spent their lifetime trying to unravel the times and seasons of which the Book of Revelation speaks. One thing is for certain, as with all other Scripture, it is primarily supposed to make us better acquainted with Jesus Himself.
