Sermon Outlines . Volume 03 | Issue 24

You Ain’t Seen Nothin’ Yet!

By Pastor Michael Catt
From: The Revelation of Jesus Christ sermon series

Revelation 1:12-20

  1. The Promise Of The Revelation. V. 1-3Louis Talbot – Many people treat the book of Revelation like the priest and Levite treated the man who was beaten and robbed in the story of the Good Samaritan…they pass by on the other side. The devil has turned thousands of people away from this portion of God’s Word. He does not want anyone to read a book that tells of his being cast out of heaven…nor is he anxious for us to read of the ultimate triumph of his number one enemy…Jesus Christ. The more you study the Book of Revelation, the more you understand why Satan fights so hard to keep God’s people away from it.
    1. The Method.Eugene Peterson – The Revelation gives us the last word on Christ, and the word is that Christ is center and at the center. Without his controlling center, the Bible is a mere encyclopedia of religion with no more plot than a telephone directory.John Stott – We do not need a detailed forecast of future events which has to be laboriously deciphered, but (rather) a vision of Jesus Christ, to cheer the faint and encourage the weary. John’s desire is not to satisfy our curiosity about the future but to stimulate our faithfulness on the present.
  2. The Person Of The Revelation. v. 4-8
    1. The Deity of God the Father. v. 4
    2. The Deity of God the Spirit. v. 4b”from the seven Spirits” –
    3. The Deity of God the Son. v. 5″faithful witness” –
      “first born from the dead” –
      “ruler of the kings” –
      “He is the TRUTH-TELLER , LIFE-GIVER, and LAW-MAKER.
      “One of the great errors of false teachers is that when Jesus was on earth, He was a prophet, then He ascended into heaven to become a priest and one day will be King.
    4. The Doxology of Praise. v. 5b
      1. He LOVED US.
      2. He REDEEMED US.
      3. He CHANGED US.
      C.S. Lewis, “Mere Christianity” – The church exists for nothing else but to draw men into Christ…If they are not doing that, all the cathedrals, clergy, missions, sermons, even the Bible itself, are simply a waste of time. God became man for no other purpose.
    5. The Destiny of This Earth. v. 7, 8

  3. The Place Of The Revelation. v. 9-11″Patmos” -“the Lord’s Day” –
  4. The Power Of The Revelation. v. 12-18What follows is very symbolic. Remember, symbols are important when you study this book. Why does Jesus use symbols in the revelation?
    1. This was language the Christians could understand but the enemy didn’t.
    2. Symbols never get OLD.
    3. Symbols instruct the mind and touch the heart.
    4. Symbols make you use your IMAGINATION.
    5. Most of the symbolism in Revelation is accompanied by it’s own interpretation:
    • 7 stars = seven pastors of the churches 1:16, 20
    • 7 lampstands = 7 churches 1:20
    • 7 lamps = the sevenfold Spirit of God 5:6
    • Living Creatures = attributes of God 4:7
    • 4 horses and their riders = events of the tribulation 6:1ff
    • Fallen star = angel of the abyss, probably Satan 9:1
    • Beast out of the sea = future world ruler 13:1-10
    • Beast out of the earth = false prophet 19:20
    Ron Ritchie – There are 518 references to Old and New Testament passages in the 404 verses in Revelation. God through Jesus is unveiling his message to John for the churches with the assumption that they know the writings of the prophets and apostles. John began by describing this awesome Being using references from the Old Testament. He first made a statement that only those who understood the descriptions of Messiah from the prophets would immediately grasp.The image of Jesus Christ in Chapter 1 is the most graphic of all.In Chapter 5 – He appears as a LAMB.In Chapter 19 – He appears as a RIDER ON A GREAT WHITE HORSE.In Chapter 21 – He appears as a BRIDEGROOM COMING FOR HIS BRIDE.
  5. The Plan Of The Revelation. v. 19, 20Write what you’ve seen.
    Write what is happening.
    Write what will happen later.As you study the book of Revelation, you will discover much about WARFARE, WORSHIP, and WITNESS. But first and foremost, you will discover that the central character and focus of the book is JESUS CHRIST – KING OF KINGS & LORD OF LORDS.

For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant, but later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.
