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: The Angel of the Lord, resumes his preincarnated pre-eminance, and returns to his dear servant, John. The few images we have of John, in the Scriptures, are endearing. The honored place at the right hand, next to Jesus, at the Last Supper, and his presence at the cruicixion, with the 3 Marys. It is endearing to understand that John was given Mary, as a mother, by Jesus, on the cross. Mary went with John to Turkey, and that's where the 7 churches were founded. Mary lived in Ephesus, which honored the patroness, Diana. It is a divine IRONY. Mary passed away in Turkey, not the Holy Land. John's last witness, was in Turkey, on the isle of Patmos. Jesus comes to John, not as the master of his youth, but, as the messenger, Angel of the Lord. He is then called "Lamb of God." He is named, The Alpha and Omega. This is the beginning of man's redemption, on the face of world condemnation. From the ashes of the old world, a new one is about to begin.
