Revelation 1:19-20
Write the things which you have seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter;…


I. THAT IT CONTAINS THE RECORD OF THINGS WHICH THE AUTHORS HAVE SEEN.

1. Which men have seen with the eye of the body.

2. Things which the authors have seen with the eye of the mind.

3. Things which the authors have seen with the eye of the soul.

II. THAT IT CONTAINS THE RECORD OF THINGS WHICH ARE HAPPENING AROUND US. "And the things which are." The Bible records the history of the past ages, of a great antiquity, and in this coincides with our expectation; but it also touches the moral, political, and historic life of men to-day. God knew the ages before they commenced their march, and has enabled men to anticipate their meaning by the gift of a holy inspiration.

III. THAT IT CONTAINS THE RECORD OF THINGS WHICH PERTAIN TO THE FUTURE. "And the things which shall be hereafter."

(J. S. Exell, M. A.)
