Revelation 1:9-20 Peter Nordell
Yes, this is about Jesus. He is speaking to John, suffering as a prisoner on the island of Patmos, "Write what you see" - a visual document to be sent to the seven churches.
Jesus, like the son of man, speaks one of the most meaningful themes in all of scripture, "Do not be afraid." This is an admonition to John and to me. He is our creator, savior and holds us in his hand. I am to live with confidence and without fear. He then reminds John that he is the "I am" which goes back to Moses, Jesus and now the risen savior, who is alive and will live for ever and ever.
John is commanded to become a scribe, "Write what you have seen, what is now and what will take place." The scripture is God-ordained for us all and we should read and love it in every way.
