The book of Revelation or John’s Apocalypse (Unveiling) is a promise of blessing with the purpose of comforting and challenging the First Century, Asia Minor, Jewish Christians (FCAM JC) whom John pastored. It is the announcement and promotion of the gracious salvation of Yahweh’s Kingdom of Shalom meant for those who follow Yeshua (Jesus), the Slaughtered Lamb. In it, God’s Kingdom collides with the kingdom of chaos and darkness, and we learn what it means to live as His Faithful Witnesses (FW) in this world.

Apocalyptic literature includes symbolic elements that would have been readily understood by the first-century, Asia Minor, Jewish, Christian audience to whom it was written. Following is a list of some of the symbols and their meanings found in the Book of Revelation. You will see that the numbers are not literal but representative.

2. Overview - f. Who was the Apostle John?
Print the two-page PDF

We know that when we receive a letter, the meaning changes completely when we know who it’s from. We could be ecstatic about a letter from a special friend, but maybe not so with a letter from our boss. Understanding the Apostle John (Yochanan) will help us to understand how the Asia-Minor Christians in the seven churches may have received his apocalyptic letter. We will also understand the impetus behind his writing. So, who was John? What was he like?
