Chapter One

Revelation 1:1-3

This is the Revelation of Messiah Yahshua, which Yahweh gave him to showto his (

servants the things which must happen soon, which he sentand made known by his angel

(messenger)

to his servant, John,

2

who testified to Yahweh's word, and of the testimony of Messiah, abouteverything that he saw.

3

Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of the prophecy, andkeep the things that are written in it, for

the time is at hand

(The "EndTimes" began with the crucifixion of Messiah Yahshua on the stake, cross or tree)

.

Note:

This will be a

"Work In Progress,"

and will be fine tuned asthe Holy Spirit reveals the understanding of this prophecy in detail, becausethe time

is

at hand.Obviously, the Revelation of Yahshua uses symbolism. However, veryoften a symbolic word or phrase will have many shades of meaningdepending on the circumstances in which it is used. For instance thesymbolic word "Beast" may be used in a generic fashion to represent"Any Government" or within a descriptive context to represent a

"Particular Government." Therefore, without this insight, the casualreader of this interpretation might become confused at what appears to be a different translation for the single word "Beast." There is no needfor anyone to be confused if they look for the consistent genericdefinition or its' equivalent along with a specific description.Additionally, since terminology will vary between differing versionsof the Bible, we will attempt to reference all "Key Terms" for their true Hebraic or Greek meaning(s) prior to submitting our owninterpretation.Another problem, presented by Revelation interpretation, is that the"Time Frame" of the verses very often will jump back and forth between past, present, and future events and those events will notnecessarily be describing the same past, present, and future time frameas the reader. Most often the time frame is based on a historically pivotal point in time, such as, the life of Yahshua, Saint John's life or the chronology of Ancient Rome. Also, there are many redundantsymbolic explanations by angels in Revelation that are often repeatedin different chapters, which do confuse many people, these areimportant as each explanation of an event usually brings outadditional details, which we have tried to consistently presentthroughout this entire "Book of Revelation"

for a more "In Depth" instruction or clarification.Another aspect of the entire Bible, not just Revelation, is that theRoman "Beast church"

(of "Daniel chapter 7 fame)

added punctuationand numbering to verses that had no previous punctuation or numbering, and that this punctuation and numbering has on more thanseveral occasions been the cause of misunderstandings. The reason for these misunderstandings is simple, as only Yahweh Inspired readers

(or translators)

can interpret Yahweh Inspired Scripture. For it is theHoly Spirit that teaches

all things

, and hellenized

nor

(Hellenized Jew means he or she was pagan and Greek by choice, and Jewishonly by birth)

.The first draft of this work will be designed for the layman withsubsequent revisions designed to provide access to greater and greater detail. Therefore, this study should provide an easy to read 'BibleStudy' of Revelation that most anyone can follow and comprehend.The most difficult part will be overcoming the stumbling blocks of Traditional Christianity.If a discrepancy should occur between the New Testament and TheTanakh

(Old Testament)

then the Tanakh will decide the issue, as theTanakh is the Scripture used by Messiah and his Apostles, includingSaint John. The Tanakh should always be used to interpret the NewTestament. The term 'Old Testament' does

not

mean outdatedtestament; it means First, and 'The First Testament'

(Tanakh)

was First because it was the most important, just the same as Messiah being theFirst Begotten of The First Fruits. Is he the "Old Messiah" OR Yahweh's "Eldest Son?" Does that make "The Messiah" outdated or pivotal?
