The Revelation to John: Revelations 1
While the apostle John was a prisoner on the island of Patmos, Jesus showed
him a series of 16 visions, or pictures, of the future. These visions revealed how
God’s name would be sanctified, His Kingdom would come, and His will would
take place on earth as in heaven. In one vision, John sees God on his glorious
throne in heaven, surrounded by 24 elders in white clothes and on their heads
are golden crowns. Flashes of lightning and sounds of thunder come from the
throne. The 24 elders bow down before God and worship him. In another
vision, John sees a great crowd from all nations, peoples, and languages who
worship God. The Lamb, who is Jesus, shepherds them and takes them to
waters of life. Later, in another vision, Jesus begins to rule as King in heaven,
along with the 24 elders. In the following vision, John sees Jesus battle the
dragon, who is Satan, and his demons. Jesus throws them out of heaven, down
to the earth.

Then John sees a beautiful picture of the Lamb and the 144,000 standing on
Mount Zion. He also sees an angel flying around the earth, telling people to
fear God and give Him glory. In the next vision, the war of Armageddon is
fought. During that war, Jesus and his army conquer Satan's evil system. In the
last vision, John sees perfect harmony in the heavens and on the earth. Satan
and his offspring are completely destroyed. Everyone in heaven and on earth
treats God’s name as holy and worships only Him.
