Christ’s sovereignty is based on his Death and Resurrection, the immovable foundation of his present reign in the Book of Revelation . The sacrifice and exaltation of Jesus are prominent themes in the Book of Revelation . God’s plan to redeem humanity and His creation through His Son is unveiled in the Book’s visions and images. Christ’s Death, Resurrection, and Enthronement are implementing God’s Redemptive Plan, and the present reign of the Lamb is the result of his sacrificial death. Jesus is the “ Lamb who is worthy ” to receive all power and glory.

From start to finish, the Book of Revelation is addressed to the “ seven churches of Asia ,” and they do not fade from the picture after its third chapter. While the Book may include a larger target audience, Revelation is first of all a message intended for those seven first-century assemblies, and the significance of its visions cannot be understood apart from them. And it begins by describing itself as an unveiling of information for the “ servants ” of God.

The  Book of Revelation  begins with the phrase, “ Revelation of Jesus Christ .” It is a message for his “ servants ,” the “ Seven Assemblies of Asia ,” and it concerns “ what things must come to pass soon ,” necessary information since the “ season is at hand .” Therefore, the Book pronounces the man who “ reads it, and they who heed the words of the prophecy, blessed ” – (Revelation 1:1-3).
