Lesson 1

All of scripture is God breathed through the power of the Holy Spirit but recorded by prophets and witnesses to the life of Jesus. The book of Revelation is authored by God and seems to have a direct link to Jesus and John the Apostle. It is written for God’s people so that they may know what must soon take place. Revelation 1:19 gives us a clue as to how the book of Revelation is divided. John the Apostle wrote down what he saw in chapter 1. He writes what is happening “now” in chapters 2 and 3 concerning the Seven churches of the Revelation. Finally, he records “what will take place later” in the future at the end of the age in chapters 4-22.
