Today from Chuck Swindall, if Revelation teaches you nothing else, it teaches you to place in highest regard and respect the person of the Lord Jesus Christ.

In his glory, and when we see him as we will,

so they see him, we will fall at his feet,

cast the crowns before him. Ever since the Apostle John first penned the Book of Revelation, readers around the world have been fascinated and confused by its mysterious

visions and symbols.

Greatfully, Bible teachers and theologians have given their lives to helping us unravel the

complex ramifications of this ancient book.

Today on Insight for Living, Chuck Swindall applies decades of personal study and preaching

to the first chapter in revelation. This passage

sets the stage for the dramatic portrayal of the main character in

revelation, Jesus Christ in all his glory. Chuck titledidal today's message, the curtain rises, the drama begins. John has moved beyond the realm of the familiar and has been escorted like Paul

in 2nd Corinthians 12 in his case to the 3rd heaven

John is taken to a place where he witnesses the ethereal.

Again adding to the challenge of his writing,

he is now putting what was seen in a vision

in the language of his own time

so that it would ultimately communicate by God's grace to the language

of any time, ours included.

So he writes in the scroll and he writes what he sees and then he is to send it. And the seven locations we've looked at earlier are the

Ephesus, Smyrna, Perkumum, Thaya Tyra, Sardis, Philadelphia, and Lausia.

The seven are representative of the ages down through time
