Revelation 1 - The Door Opens. Be blessed simply hearing these words

Before the visions unfold, there is a prelude.
While still walking the earth, Yahusha spoke quietly about what would come - not with dates or panic, but with patterns. He spoke of wars and rumors of wars. Of nations rising and shaking. Of the fig tree putting out its leaves - a sign that those watching would recognize the season without being told the hour.
Those words were not explanations.
They were preparation.
Years later, Revelation begins - not with chaos, but with clarity.
John - the disciple Yahusha loved, the one it was said might remain - is exiled, removed from power, removed from noise, and still watching. And to him, the revelation is given.
Daniel was shown visions and told to seal them for generations yet to come. John is given the opposite instruction: write what you see and reveal it. What had been preserved is now opened. What was hinted at is now shown.
Revelation 1 establishes the ground before the ground begins to shake:
* who is speaking
* who is seeing
* and why the time to reveal has arrived
This chapter is not the storm.
It is the moment the watchman is handed the vision.
Only after this doorway do the wild scenes unfold.
