Rev 1.1-6 The Revelation of Messiah

In this lesson we go through the salutation of the Revelation of the Messiah. We complete the introduction to the Revelation, reviewing the four ways the Revelation is typically interpreted, with special attention to the interpretation of 1st century leaders, and why the Apostle John, and not some other "John", was it's author.

However, the majority of our time is spent on the first six verses where Jesus is revealed as Messiah, the faithful witness, firstborn from the dead, prince of the rulers of the earth, who loves us by shedding his blood for our redemption, and makes us his new kingdom of both Jews and Gentiles worshipping Him.
