    The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto Him, to shew unto His servants things which must shortly come to pass; and He sent and signified it by HIS ANGEL unto His servant John:

    Who is this angel?

    John said: I heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet, saying: What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; and I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks; And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle.

    Who is this angel, the one like the son of man?

    Greetings in Christ JESUS, Jesse

    I enjoyed a lot you post. As we can see, the book of Revelation may be regarded a dedication from God the Father and from His Son the Lord Jesus Christ to the 7 Churches of Asia; in other words, an act of consecrating, an expression of love, from whom demonstrates great affection or consideration and care, as is written in the chapter 1:verse 4-8:

    4 John to the seven Churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from Him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before His throne;

    5 And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the Prince of the kings of the earth (kings made by Him). Unto Him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in His own blood,

    6 And hath made us kings and priests unto God and His Father; to Him be Glory and Dominion for ever and ever.Amen.

    7 Behold, He cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see Him, and they also which pierced Him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of Him. Even so,Amen.

    8 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty. - Aleluia!!!

    In fact JESUS was "worried" with the spiritual conditions of the 7 Churches, it was still around the year 95 AD, or in the end of the first century. From the 7 angels of Churches (Pastors, or Bichops, or else), 5 was reproved.

    Note that the Church of Rome to which Paul had dedicated great love and consideration had apostatised itself completely, it would be the eighth church among the seven if Satan had not posses it. By the way, John the Apostle wrote about this terrible event, saying: John 2:v.18-19- 1919 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.18-Little children, it is the last time, and

    The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto Him, that's Christ, to show to His servants things which must shortly come to pass; and He sent and signified it by His angel unto His servant John:

    There are actually 4 steps mixed in there:

    God gave it to Christ, Christ gave it to His angel, which is very interesting. The angel gives the revelation to John, in order for John to give it to the servants of God.

    The reason for it was to show His servants what things must shortly come to pass.

    The word must in the Greek text means divinely bound. These things are designed by God and they must happen.

    Secondly, the word shortly. This is not shortly as far as it's coming up quick, but rather when happens, it is going to happen quickly. It's going to take place in a short time.

    And He sent and signified it. The word signified means to express or present something in symbols and signs.

    So God gave it to Christ, Christ to His angel, the angel to John, and from John to the Lord's servants who are serving in these churches.

    OSEAS, may CHRIST IN US grace us with HIS wisdom and HIS understanding.

    The Revelation (the revealing) of Jesus Christ, which God (the Father) gave to him (Jesus Christ) to show (to reveal) to his servants (God's elect) things (kingdom of God, CHRIST IN YOU) which must shortly come to pass (before your body of flesh naturally dies); and He (the Father) sent and signified it (hid the revelation in symbols) by HIS ANGEL (Jesus is the Angel of the Lord) unto his servant John.

    The ANGEL (of the Lord) is JESUS CHRIST.

    "Will be? What is written in Revelation 1:v.1? JESUS sent HIS ANGEL, so His angel is another person, not Himself.
