Revelation 1:1-3

"The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to show His servants--things which must shortly take place. And He sent and signified it by His angel to His servant John."

"Who bore witness to the word of God, and to the testimony of Jesus Christ, to all things that he saw."

"Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written in it; for the time is near."

(I believe it would be best that those who read what is contained in Revelation that I put down here not think too much into it: assumptions are dangerous. You can speculate, but be careful to not set a firm belief on what is purposefully stated in this book as vague. Also, context matters greatly--especially in this book. So if anything confuses you, I suggest you read the entirety of the chapter I would take the verses from.)
