THE LORD’S DAY

(Rev 1:1) The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants

things which must shortly come to pass;

and he sent and signified it by his

angel unto his servant John:

The Daniel ConnectionDaniel writes of the same subject in the Old Testament, just not as in detail as John

The reason for the lack of detail in Daniel is…

(Dan 12:4) But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end…

(Rev 19:9-10) And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are

they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.

And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See

thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the

testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus

is the spirit of prophecy.

(Rev 22:8) And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to

worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things.

(Rev 22:9) Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy

fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of

them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God.

(Rev 22:10) And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand.

(Rev 22:10) And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand.

(Dan 12:4) But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book,

even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge

shall be increased.

Argument #1

It is an Angel that is leading him and Daniel is not an angel.

Answer #1

(Mat 22:30) For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.

Argument #2

Why would God refer to him (Daniel) as a angel?

Answer #2(Exo 3:2) And the angel of the LORD

appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire,

and the bush was not consumed.

(Exo 3:4) And when the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him

out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I.

Always notice when God repeats himself!

(Rev 1:4) John to the seven churches which are in Asia:

Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which

was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are

before his throne;

(Rev 1:8) I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the

Almighty.

(Rev 1:18) I am he that liveth, and was dead; and,

behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have

the keys of hell and of death.

I. The Theme Of

Revelation (Rev 1:7) Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him,

and they also which pierced him: and all

kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.

(Rev 1:19) Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be

hereafter;

Understanding the outline of RevelationIn order to have 3 divisions in the book there must be 2 place that create those divisions, and make a transition to the next point of the outline. These 2 place are seen when heaven opens.

(2Ti 2:15) Study to shew thyself

approved unto God, a workman that

needeth not to be ashamed, rightly

dividing the word of truth.

(Rev 4:1) After this I looked, and,

behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was

as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up

hither, and I will shew thee things which must be

hereafter.

(Rev 19:11) And I saw heaven opened, and

behold a white horse; and he that sat upon

him was called Faithful and True, and in

righteousness he doth judge and

make war.

(Rev 1:19) Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be

hereafter;

II. The Theme Of the Bible (Gen 3:15) And I

will put enmity between thee and the woman, and

between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his

heel.

Over 800 specific references of the Lord’s Day in the

Bible

5 times more references to the 2nd coming

than the 1st coming

A. The Theme is seen in all

the Prophets

(Act 3:19-21) Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted

out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;

And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was

preached unto you: Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all

things, which God hath

spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the

world began.

(Jud 1:14-15) And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his

saints, To execute judgment upon all, and to

convince all that are ungodly among them of all their

ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed,

and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have

spoken against him.

CHRIST REVEALED

(Rev 1:8) I am Alpha and

Omega, the beginning and

the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and

which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.

(Isa 44:6) Thus saith the LORD the King of

Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I am the first, and I am the

last; and beside me there is no God.

Christ Glorified

A. He is fixated on IDENTITY of Christ

(Rev 1:12) AND I TURNED TO SEE

THE VOICE THAT SPAKE

WITH ME. And being turned, I

saw seven golden candlesticks;

HIS VOICE

(Joh 1:1) In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with

God, and the Word was God.

(Joh 1:14) And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among

us…(Gen 3:8) And they heard the

voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the

cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the

presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden.

D. He is fixated on

AS WHITE AS SNOW; and His eyes were as a flame of fire;

Into the Future

(Rev 4:1-4) After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a

trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must

be hereafter. And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in

heaven, and one sat on the throne. And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a

sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an

emerald. And round about the throne were four and twenty seats: and upon the seats I

saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads

crowns of gold.
