To Show His Servants

Image
From start to finish, the Book of Revelation is addressed to the “ seven churches of Asia ,” and they do not fade from the picture after its third chapter. While the Book may include a larger target audience, Revelation is first of all a message intended for those seven first-century assemblies, and the significance of its visions cannot be understood apart from them. And it begins by describing itself as an unveiling of information for the “ servants ” of God.

The Season is Here

The last book of the New Testament begins with the phrase, “ Revelation of Jesus Christ .” It is a message for his “ servants ,” namely, the “ Seven Churches of Asia ,” and it concerns “ what things must come to pass soon ,” information that is vital since the “ season is at hand .” Because of its importance, the Book pronounces the one who “ reads it, and they who heed the words of the prophecy ” – “ blessed ” – (Revelation 1:1-3).
