The most significant question of the universe continues to be: What think ye of Christ?  Your answer to this most important question will not only determine your eternal destiny; but also reflects the way you live now. One of the most powerful thoughts a Christian possesses is the fact that Jesus Christ can never be less than who He is... He is LORD.

Sincerely, Dr. Arthur Belanger

The Book of Revelation.  Chapter one begins with the most critical aspect of the Revelation... the revelation of Jesus Christ.  The revelation is both exclusive and exact.  It is about Christ from Christ.  Reality comes to Light.

The apostle John is chosen to proclaim the revelation of Jesus Christ.  Literally, John was an eye witness of the revelation of Christ.  What we are about to study is factual... not fictional.   This last book of the Bible is written to the Church. 


It is important to note that chapter one places a tremendous value on the relationship that we have as born again believers with the Lord Jesus Christ.  Their is no greater fortune than that of being saved.
