Are there people who are both Christians and who also see clearly from Revelations 1 that Jesus authored it?

Question

I had asked a similar question and I am getting mostly erronious answers; because non-Christians are answering the question. I am looking to see that others understand the plain statement of the Bible, not answers from people who take some of the Bible and then add their own speculations.

Answer 1

Rev 1:1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified [it] by his angel unto his servant John:
Rev 1:2 Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw.


According to what I see here, Jesus was revealed with a message, which He showed to His servants (disciples) about things "which must shortly come pass". John was singled out.
John "bare record".

I'm not getting the sense of your question, but it seems pretty clear that Jesus entrusted John with the message of Revelation, and it looks alot like John was true to his trust.

Answer 2

eek, not the new world mistranslation again!

Oh well... It is the revelation of Jesus. It was given to Jesus by God for his disciples benefit. It describes things which will "happen soon," translated from the Greek phrase 'en tachei`,' this phrase refers to a near term future, not a long term future. The common meaning is weeks or months, probably relating to the repeated references in the book to 3-1/2 years; time, times and half a time; 42 months...
Here is the NIrV translation of the first 2 verses:
Rev 1:1 This is the revelation that God gave to Jesus Christ. Jesus shows those who serve God what will happen soon. God made it known by sending his angel to his servant John.
Rev 1:2 John gives witness to everything he saw. The things he gives witness to are God’s word and what Jesus Christ has said.

It is pretty clear that this is a message from God.

Answer 3

If you honestly believe that Jesus wrote Revelations I, you are going against every single scholar who studies the bible. Whether I believe in god or not is irrelevant to that discussion.

The author of Revelation identifies himself several times as "John" (1:1, 4, 9; 22:8). The author also states that he was in exile on the island of Patmos when he received his first vision (1:9; 4:1–2). As a result the author of Revelation is referred to as John of Patmos. John explicitly addresses Revelation to seven churches of Asia Minor: Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea (1:4, 11). All of these sites are located in what is now Turkey.

Traditional views held that John the Apostle — considered to have written the Gospel and epistles by the same name — was exiled on Patmos in Aegean archipelago during the reign of Emperor Domitian, and that he wrote the Revelation there. Those in favor of a single common author point to similarities between the Gospel and Revelation. For example, both works are soteriological (e.g. referring to Jesus as a lamb) and possess a high christology (e.g. Jesus as "Lord of lords", God's son, etc.). What is most telling, however, is that only in the Gospel of John and in Revelation is Jesus referred to as "the Word of God" (Ő λογος του θεου - see logos).

Answer 4

The Bible book of Revelation, says, at Revelation 1: 1 A revelation by Jesus Christ, WHICH GOD GAVE HIM to show his slaves the things that must shortly take place. And he sent forth his ANGEL, and presented {it} in signs through him to his slave John. 2 who bore witness to the word God gave and to the witness Jesus Christ gave, even to all the things he saw. There you have it accurately.

Answer 5

Revelations was actually penned by a man named John through a Revelation given to him by Jesus.

Answer 6

The Revelation of Jesus Christ as recorded by John the Beloved, is that the book you are talking about?

Answer 7

It is the revelation of Jesus Christ, but it was also clearly given to John (Revelation 4)

Answer 8

I would think that Revelations 1:1 and 1:2 would answer that..

1:1 .....and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John: 1:2 Who bare record of the word of god and the testimony of Jesus Christ

He was told to write what he saw etc etc. Interesting question.. just not sure how you formed your opnion?

Answer 9

John authored Revelations. Jesus appeared to John and told him what to write.

Answer 10

I'm not sure I understand the question-that Jesus authored it. All scripture is "God-breathed", and though Jesus may not have written the words, John's visions were given by God
