I’m a little confused about Rev 1:4. I always thought that the only One coming back to earth would be Jesus. I now “hear” that the Father is coming too according to the above verse. Is my understanding correct? Are both the Father and the Son coming? Would they be coming at the same time?
Thank you for your time. God bless.
Hello Dolly,
I believe Christ will come WITH His Father because of the following verses:
1. Mat_16:27 For the Son of man shall come in the glory of His Father with His angels; and then He shall reward every man according to his works.
2. Mar_8:38 Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of Me and of My words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of His Father with the holy angels.
3. Luk_9:26 For whosoever shall be ashamed of Me and of My words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when He shall come in His own glory, and in His Father’s, and of the holy angels.
4. Rev 6:15 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;
Rev 6:16 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of Him that sitteth on the throne, AND from the wrath of the Lamb:
Rev 6:17 For the great day of His wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?
Also, when studying Revelation 8:1, you’ll see that there is silence in Heaven for about a half hour (prophetic time). I believe we can see Heaven empty of all the inhabitants because of their EXCITEMENT to come and BRING US HOME!

Diane was kind enough to share this information with me:
“Comment: Hello! I am enjoying the vs by vs study of Revelation…just got started. I noticed the comment on Rev 1:4 regarding the Father coming with Jesus at the second coming. I don’t see that Christ’s coming with the Father’s glory means coming with the Father. I have been searching the Bible and SOP and all the references to the second coming only refer to Christ and His angels being present. Then after 7 days journey to heaven, Jesus presents the redeemed to the Father. “Christ presents to the Father the purchase of His blood, declaring: “Here am I, and the children whom Thou hast given Me.” “Those that Thou gavest Me I have kept.” Oh, the wonders of redeeming love! the rapture of that hour when the infinite Father, looking upon the ransomed, shall behold His image, sin’s discord banished, its blight removed, and the human once more in harmony with the divine!” {GC 646.2} If the Father was present at the harvest on earth, why would Jesus be presenting them to the Father in heaven, apparently for the first time. Do you have more scripture of SOP for this idea?
Thanks for all the work into this study!
Diane”
Thanks Diane!
Wow! I have been studying the Bible for over 40 yrs and I never saw this. It’s like my eyes have been opened and now I can see it so clear! I’m copying these verses and send them to Tampa to my sisters and to Virginia to my daughter, who is an avid Bible student. This is just amazing!!!
Thank you again. I’m studying Revelation with you on YouTube. I’m sending my 2 sisters and my daughter the link.

Rev 1:5: “The firstborn from the dead.” I thought Moses was the first one who had died and was resurrected. So what does this mean?
The firstborn…
“Thus saith the Lord, Israel is My son, even My firstborn: and I say unto thee, Let My son go, that he may serve Me: and if thou refuse to let him go, behold, I will slay thy son, even thy firstborn.” Exodus 4:22, 23
Was Israel REALLY God’s firstborn? What about Adam, Abraham, Noah, Isaac?
The term, “first begotten” in the KJV is what is used in Revelation 1, but the meaning is NOT regarding the chronology, but the importance. Christ was God’s most important from the dead.
Israel, because the nation REPRESENTED Christ, was His firstborn, just as Christ was.
There’s a lot of answer in these few words, but I hope you will be able to see the beauty of it in your further study. =)
Rev 1:14. It seems clear that the One spoken of here, as having “head and hair white like wool, as white as snow, and His eyes like a flame of fire,” is speaking of Jesus, because it says so in the previous verse. Daniel 7:9: “And the Ancient of Days was seated; His garment was white as snow and the hair of His head was like pure wool…” I always thought the Ancient of Days was God the Father. Or, is Daniel talking about God the Father and John talking about God the Son? A little confused here.
You are correct. Revelation 1 is talking about Jesus, and the Ancient of Days in Daniel 7 is referring to God the Father.
Rev. 1 is clearly representing Christ. Dan. 7 shows the “Son of man” coming TO the Ancient of Days (two separate beings) in 7:13. “I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought Him near before Him.”
Hope this helps. =)
Hi Daniel.
I found you on Audioverse and appreciated your sermon on finding the 3 angel’s messages in Daniel 1-6. I do believe that we need to study and prepare quickly for what is rapidly approaching. I would love to hear your verse by verse commentary on Revelation 1-22. However, I don’t have the luxury of sitting in front of my computer for an hour at a time to do so. Is it possible to offer the audio as something I can down load to an i-pod or i tunes to be able to listen to as I go about my daily routines?
thanks for considering this:

Hello JoDee. Thank you for taking interest and asking about the audio. First, I need to complete the series on Revelation, verse by verse, chapter by chapter. I’ve only gotten two presentations done, and am in the process of number three. I thought I would have more time (a while ago, before I was given the full time job I have now), so please be patient and pray for the continuing of that series. I really want to do it!
Hi Daniel,
I appreciate your views on the significance of brass. One thing I would point out to other listeners is that your comment on Jesus being a mix of a pure mind and a sinful body is a keen observation, and a very important one at that. However, from your comment it sounded like Jesus body had 4,000 years “to be molested by sin before he came here….” I’m sure what you meant by that comment is that Jesus came to this earth as a baby after 4,000 years of sin had ravaged humanity, and thus inherited a body with the same degree of degradation as anyone else. Jesus’ body was not waiting for Him for 4,000 years before He entered it. It’s a simple slip of the tongue, but I felt some might find it confusing. Thanks!
Absolutely. Christ came in sinful human flesh with the divine nature. He had a Divine character, sinless in all avenues. Praise the Lord for His goodness to give us part in His righteousness by faith!
The Seven Spirits of God is explained in Isaiah 11:2, 3 which shows the seven facets of the Holy Spirit and the wonderful work He does.
Yes sir! There is sooooo much more, enough for another series of the same type!
Revelation 1:1 declares that Jesus as the Son had to be given this Revelation. Since John 1:1 declares that in the beginning the WORD was with God and was God how could this be true?
Hello Roger. You asked a good question:
Christ was given life:
John 5:26 For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself;
Christ was given power:
Matthew 28:18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
Christ was commanded to be worshipped:
Hebrews 1:6 And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him.
Christ was given words to speak:
John 14:10 Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.
Christ was given a name above every name (still below the Father’s, as made known in 1 Corinthians 15:24-28):
Philippians 2:9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:
And more.
Christ has what He does because He is a Son, not because He is the “only true God” that He was praying to in John 17:3. He is the only true Son of God. =) I hope this helps.
