Revelation means "the unveiling". For the 1st Century Christians of pagan Rome it felt like Christianity was weak and failing. The Emperor was powerful, Rome was strong, but Christians were being persecuted like criminals. They were weak nobodies. The Apostles had been killed. John is old and weak.
Can you imagine the thought processes of the average Christian in pagan Rome? Jesus said He would come back, where is He? If Jesus is Lord, why is Caesar so powerful? In the midst of this situation Jesus delivers an amazing apocalyptic vision to the Apostle John on the island of Patmos for the seven churches of Asia minor, and ultimately to all Christians of all time.
His key message is this: "everything is not as it seems". It seems like the Emperor has supreme authority, but He doesn't, Jesus has. It seems like Christians are dying for nothing, but there is a rich reward waiting for him. This message is just as relevant to us today. We live in a world where Christianity seems weak and fading, woke is taking over, paganism is increasing, atheism is on the rise...perhaps we need to message of Revelation in a time like this.
Join us in this sermons series on the whole book of Revelation. This is the introductory lesson on chapter one as a brief introduction.
