    INTRODUCTION TO REVELATION (Part 2):

    THE INTRODUCTION TO THE BOOK OF REVELATION:

    If you've never been through the book of Revelation before, you might be interested in knowing that the study of the introduction to the book of Revelation is a study in and of itself.

    It could take several long posts to go over everything, so what I have done is excerpted out some of the main points.

    I. ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

    The Apostle John. The Apostle John is not John the Baptist.

    The Apostle John is mentioned five times in the Book of Revelation: 1:1; 1:4; 1:9; 21:2; 22:8.

    The Apostle John had a brother by the name of James. They were known as the sons of Zebedee, found in Matthew 10:2-4.

    Jesus gave them the name "The sons of thunder," recorded in Mark 3:17. They always wanted to call fire down from heaven and consume people if they didn't want anything to do with the Lord. There's a lot of "sons of thunder" in the church today!

    John, Peter, and James were the inner circle of the disciples of Jesus, and spent many special times with the Lord, Matthew 17:1; 26:37.

    The Apostle John was the only original apostle not to die a martyr's death.

    What is interesting, in association with the book of Revelation, is that tradition says that around 86 A.D., they tried to execute John by dipping him in burning oil. And after they pulled him out, nothing was wrong with him. And they figured that they couldn't kill him, so they decided to exile him off onto the island of Patmos.
