Reading Revelation 1:91:00 – 2:42

Frank ViolaHost

1:00

Well, we are now going to look at the second reference to the kingdom of God in the book of Revelation.

Frank ViolaHost

1:06

It appears in Revelation chapter 1.

Frank ViolaHost

1:10

We looked at chapter 1 verse 6 in the last episode.

Frank ViolaHost

1:13

Now we get to verse 9.

Frank ViolaHost

1:15

And I'm going to read it out of three different versions.

Frank ViolaHost

1:18

This is the NIV, Revelation 1-9.

Frank ViolaHost

1:22

I, John, your brother and companion in the suffering and kingdom and patient endurance that are ours in Jesus, was on the island of Patmos because of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus.

Frank ViolaHost

1:39

Here's the ESV.

Frank ViolaHost

1:40

I, John, your brother and partner in the tribulation and the kingdom and the patient endurance that are in Jesus, was on the island called Patmos on account of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus.

Frank ViolaHost

1:54

And then the last one.

Frank ViolaHost

1:55

I, John, your brother and fellow partaker in the tribulation and kingdom and perseverance which are in Jesus because of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus.

DenzelHost

2:07

Hmm.

Frank ViolaHost

2:08

Now, in the last episode, I gave the background, the contextual summary of the book of Revelation, this incredible letter.

Frank ViolaHost

2:16

And so we're not going to repeat that.

Frank ViolaHost

2:17

But we have these words in this short passage.

Frank ViolaHost

2:23

John, who is a brother, he's also a companion or a partner or a fellow partaker in the suffering or tribulation and kingdom.

Frank ViolaHost

2:34

There's the kingdom reference.

Frank ViolaHost

2:36

and patient endurance or perseverance.

Frank ViolaHost

2:40

Yes.

Frank ViolaHost

2:41

Which are in Jesus.
