THE REVELATION OF [ST.] JOHN [THE DIVINE](1) Revelation 1—The Message For This Day The Revelation of Jesus Christ.—John the Revelator and the Prophet Habakkuk have foretold that the understanding of this revelation, given in 96 A. D., is set for an appointed time, the end of the age; and that, at this time, now, when the predicted “Faithful and wise servant” would be present with God’s people, the vision would be made plain.—Rev. 1:10; Matt. 24:45; Hab. 2:1‐3; 1 Pet 1:13. Which God gave unto Him.—“The declaration that ‘the Son can do nothing of Himself,’ if it were not backed up as it is by a score of other testimonies from the same interested and inspired Teacher, is a contradiction to the common thought of Trinitarians, that the Son is the Father.”—Z. ’99‐45; John 5:20; 12:49; 17:7,8. To shew unto His [servants] SAINTS.(2)—“Our Lord Jesus has promised us that, as the Elder Brother (of the Gospel House of Sons), whatsoever the Father shall make known to Him He in turn will make known to us.”—Z. ’99‐45. The things.—The shifting scenes of Church and State, the history of the Gospel and Millennial Ages. Which must shortly come to pass.—Which began at once, in St. John’s day, and will continue until the completion of all that he foresaw. And He sent.—He did not come Himself, but acted with the dignity becoming Him who is now the express Image of the Father’s person. “Dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto, whom no man hath seen, nor can see.”—Heb. 1:3; 1 Tim. 6:16. And signified It—“Our Lord’s revelation, which God gave Him after He had passed into glory, He sent and signified [_sign_ified, told in signs, symbols, etc.] to His Church.”—B. 203.
