Gentlemen,
As you prepare for next Monday’s Bible study on the remainder of Revelation chapter one, use the following questions to aid your study.
- In the Doxology of 1:5b-6, what/Who is worthy of praise? Compare 1 Peter 1:2-4.
- Define the term “Amen” (vv. 6, 7)
- Why was John on the island of Patmos? (v. 9)
- What did John mean by “I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day”? (v. 10)
- Did God exile John to Patmos in order to use him in this way?
- How is what John sees in chapter one similar to what the O.T. prophet Daniel saw in Daniel chapters 7 and 10?
- How many dimensions of Jesus’ glory, character and ministry are described in vv. 13-16? What might each of them signify? Please download, copy, and bring with you this handout: Dimensions of Jesus’ Glory.
- What is significant about John’s response to what he saw? (v. 17) … Does this remind you of others’ reactions in Scripture? Who? When?
- Identify three times in your life when Jesus has said to you, “Fear not!”
- What else do we learn about Jesus in vv. 17-20?
- What have been your biggest “take-aways” from this chapter one?
