Jesus and
The Revelation
By
Kevin Cauley
The book of Revelation
is about Jesus and His saving work. There are many portraits of Jesus in the
book. Perhaps the clearest is Jesus as the Lamb. Twenty-nine times the word
“lamb” refers to Jesus. This isn’t the only image, though. He is also pictured
as The Angel, the One riding on the white horse, the Alpha and Omega, the male
Child, the Son of Man, the King of kings, the Lord of lords, the One sitting on
the throne, God Almighty, Jesus, Christ, the Lord God Omnipotent, Faithful and
True, the Word of God, the Root and Offspring of David, the Bright and Morning
Star, and many more. Through Jesus, the saints overcome all enemies.
Many interpret the
book of Revelation on a timeline thinking that one event must chronologically
follow another. This is the wrong approach. John writes that the events
happening “must shortly take place” (Revelation 1:1, 22:6). What does that
statement mean? Instead of trying to force the events into a chronological
sequence, a timeless interpretation means the events recur cyclically in the
present. Thus, the book of Revelation is as relevant to us today as to the
first Christians who read it because the same issues that Christians faced then
are issues that Christians face now. Jesus and His work is always at the center
of each story in Revelation. Every single heroic character in the book is
victorious, and every single villainous character is defeated because of Jesus’
work. At the end, we are introduced to Jesus’ bride, the culmination of
Christ’s work (Revelation 21:9). The church is that bride (Ephesians 5:25-33),
and the saints are the church. This means that as you live out the gospel in
your life, the book of Revelation is fulfilled in you.
