Revelations a Study. Section 1. Lets look at the sections before we get into great detail. Section 1 includes, Chapter 1:1 thru 1:18. These verses deal with the Author of Revelations Jesus The Christ. Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand. As we are imformed in this verse, reading and hearing the Book of Revelations is blessed, the Key word we must look at is KEEP.[To hold; to restrain from departure or removal; not to let go of; to retain in one's power or possession; not to lose; to retain; to detain.] Revelations has yet to be fulfilled as many would like for the world to believe. Here we see Jesus comanding us to Posses and retain the words of this book. Revelations was not written just for a few and neither were the Letters to the seven Churches of Asia. Seven in scripture signifies a perfice number.
The seven Spirits, Here are different intrepretations; Isaiah 11:2 The Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon Him, the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and might, the Spirit of knowledge ...
... and of the fear of the Lord. A.1. The Spirit of the Lord
2. The Spirit of Wisdom.
3. The Spirit of Understanding.
4. The Spirit of Counsel.
5. The Spirit of Might.
6. The Spirit of Knowledge.
7. The Spirit of Fear of the Lord.
B.1. Spirit of Truth. John 15:26 2.Spirit of Power 2 Tim 1:7. 3. Spirit of Love. 2 Tim 1:7. 4. Spirit of Self-Discipline. 2 Tim 1:7. 5. Spirit of Wisdom. Deu 34:9. 6. Spirit of Judgment.Isa.4:4 7. Spirit of Life. Rev 11:11. Rev 5:6 And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth. This next set is the one I most addhere to. C. 1.Wisdon, 2.Knowledge, 3.Understanding, 4.Love, 5.Faith, 6.Hope & 7. Charity.
Dont let this be confuseing. The Seven Spirits of God are the seven attributes of The Holy Spirit, whom is God. If you knoticed in C. These are working operations of the Spirit unto us. The things God wishes us to be or have. For exampel without wisdon and Knowledge you cannot have understanding.
We will cover the seven churches later in this study. Patmos; One of the Sporades. A small rugged island of the Icarian Sea, part of the Aegean; 20 miles S. of Samos, 24 W. of Asia Minor, 25 in circumference. The scene of John's banishment. The first section of Revelations deals with the divinity of ,The Christ. Rev. 1:13 thru 16, gives us the true representation of Jesus. Rev 1:13-15. And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle.His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters. And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.[Ref. Dan_8:18, Dan_10:6, Dan_10:10.] Verses 17 and 18, Jesus introduces Himself to John.
