From God to Christ, from angel unto John, the hidden word is shown. Blessed are the readers, hearers, keepers, for the appointed hour draws near. Grace moves toward the seven lamps from the One who always was and is. Jesus stands, the faithful witness, risen first and ruling kings. Behold, He Cometh with Clouds Let every ear receive what heaven has spoken. The hour is near; let every heart awake. Glory and dominion rise unto the coming King. He loved and washed the guilty clean within his offered blood. He formed a royal priesthood, made for glory and for God. The testimony stands when generations pass. What God has opened no darkness can erase. Clouds bear his coming; every eye will see, and all the earth will mourn. Alpha and Omega speaks, the Almighty without end. Behold, He Cometh with Clouds Let every ear receive what heaven has spoken. The hour is near; let every heart awake. Glory and dominion rise unto the coming King. Behold, He Cometh with Clouds

About the passage

Revelation 1: The risen Christ stands among the churches

The Book of Revelation opens with a blessing before it opens with a beast, trumpet, or judgment. Its message moves from God through Jesus Christ, an angel, and John toward servants who are expected to hear and keep it. John writes from Patmos as a brother sharing tribulation, kingdom, and patience with the churches. When he turns toward the trumpet-like voice, he sees the risen Christ among seven golden lampstands, radiant with imagery drawn from Daniel and holding seven stars in his right hand. John falls as dead, but that same hand touches him. Christ identifies himself as the one who was dead and now lives forever, possesses the keys of death and Hades, and explains that the lampstands are the churches. The chapter therefore begins Revelation with disclosure, presence, authority, and reassurance held together.
