And I turned to see the Voice that spoke with me. And being
turned, I saw shivat zahaven Menorot;
Yeshua vision appearance see notes
1:13
And in the midst of the shivat Menorot one like to
the BEN
haADAM, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and
girt about the paps with a zahaven girdle.
1:14
His Head and His Hairs were white like wool, as white
as snow; and His Eyes were as a flame of fire;
1:15
And His Feet like to fine brass, as if they burned in a
furnace; and His Voice as the sound of many waters.
1:16
And he had in His Yad Yamin shivat hakochavim (seven stars): and out of His
Mouth went a sharp two
edged sword (Isa 49:2): and His countenance [was] as
ha shemesh (sun) shines in His strength.
1:17
And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead. And He laid
His yad yamin upon me, saying to me:

yad yamin, and the shivat zahaven Menorot. The shivat hakochavim (seven stars)
are the messengers of the seven Assemblies: and the shivat
Menorot which you saw are the seven Assemblies.
The Seven Blessings : 1:3, 14:13; 16:15; 19:9; 20:6; 22:7; 22:14
The Book of Revelation is the sefer consummation. In it, the divine program of redemption is brought to fruition, and the Sacred Name of HaShem is vindicated before all creation. It was penned by Yochanan during his exile on the island of Patmos, is the Brit Hadashah's final sefer apocalyptic, urging persecuted Messianic Believers in Yeshua to remain faithful, as Yeshua (the Lamb) has already conquered evil. It features symbolic visions of cosmic judgment—seals, Shofarim, and bowls—culminating in Mashiach's return, the final defeat of evil, and the creation of a new heaven and earth.
Context: Written around 95-96 AD, it is a circular letter to seven Assemblies in Asia Minor addressing complacency and persecution.
Main Imagery: It uses dramatic, apocalyptic symbols (beasts, scrolls, plagues) rooted in the Tenach prophetic language (Dani'el, Ezeki'el, Zecharyahu).
Yeshua as the Lamb: Yeshua is depicted not as a traditional warrior, but as a slain lamb who conquered through sacrificial death.
HaShem's Sovereignty: Despite evil's apparent power, the book emphasizes that HaShem holds the future and sits on the throne.
Patmos (Greek, Πάτμος;)
meaning my killing; it is a small Greek island in the Aegean Sea.
Write the things which you have seen, and Chapter 1
the things which
are, and - Chapter 2-3 end chapter caught
the things which shall be hereafter;
- Chapter 4-22
