The book is in a series of parallel groups, not in chronological order. Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw. And from Jesus Christ , who is the faithful witness , and the first begotten of the dead , and the prince of the kings of the earth . This is the assurance to Christian believers. Even so, Amen.
Clouds are the symbols of wrath to sinners.
When Christ returns every one will witness the event, even those who killed Him and then persecuted His followers. 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. This implies that Jesus created the universe and will also bring its present form to an end in judgment. Here John had a unique experience with God, in that he was taken into a state of ecstasy, with the outer world being shut out, and the inner and higher life or spirit being opened, and then after being taken full possession of by God s Spirit so that an immediate connection with the invisible world is established. This which occurred on the Lord s Day, the last day of the week, the Sabbath.
