Revelation 1:1-3 ESV
Prologue
The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show to his servants the things that must soon take place. He made it known by sending his angel to his servant John,
who bore witness to the word of God and to the testimony of Jesus Christ, even to all that he saw.
Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear, and who keep what is written in it, for the time is near.
John the Baptist went before the Lord to prepare the way for His first coming.
John the Revelator prepares the way for His second coming.
They who listened to the first John were blessed and made ready for Christ just as those who hear and keep the words of the book by this John will be prepared and encouraged for His return.
