The Unveiling | Revelation 1:1-8
Revelation opens with a declaration that the Trinity is giving John a letter for the churches that were in Asia, which is now Turkey. Then God tells us He is the Alpha and Omega who was and is and is to come. He is declaring the letter is from Him, the timeless One. That means it is for the church of every age, preparing us to face the persecution that is inevitable, and to show us the grand conclusion is worth suffering with Christ.
