IV. JOHN’S FIXATION

A. He is fixated on IDENTITY of Christ

(Rev 1:12) AND I TURNED TO SEE

THE VOICE THAT SPAKE

WITH ME. And being turned, I

saw seven golden candlesticks;

HIS VOICE

(Joh 1:1) In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with

God, and the Word was God.

(Joh 1:14) And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among

us…(Gen 3:8) And they heard the

voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the

cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the

presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden.

B. He is fixated on POSITION of Christ

(Rev 1:12-13) And I turned to see the voice

that spake with me. And being turned, I

SAW SEVEN GOLDEN CANDLESTICKS;

AND IN THE MIDST OF THE SEVEN

CANDLESTICKS ONE LIKE UNTO THE SON OF MAN, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the

paps with a golden girdle.

C. He is fixated on CLOTHING of Christ

(Rev 1:12-13) And I turned to see the voice

that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden

candlesticks; and in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the son of man, CLOTHED WITH A

GARMENT DOWN TO THE FOOT, AND GIRT

ABOUT THE PAPS WITH A GOLDEN

GIRDLE.

D. He is fixated on

7 fold GLORY of

Christ

1. HIS HEAD AND

HAIRS (Rev 1:14) HIS HEAD AND HIS HAIRS

WERE WHITE LIKE WOOL,

AS WHITE AS SNOW; and His eyes were as a flame of fire;

2. HIS EYES (Rev 1:14) His

head and his hairs were

white like wool, as white as

snow; and HIS EYES WERE AS A FLAME

OF FIRE;

3. HIS FEET (Rev 1:15)

AND HIS FEET LIKE UNTO

FINE BRASS, AS IF THEY

BURNED IN A FURNACE; and his voice as the sound of many

waters.

(Gen 3:15) And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her

seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his

heel.(Zec 14:4) And his feet shall stand

in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on

the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there

shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.

(Rev 14:19-20) And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine

of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of God. And the winepress was trodden without the city, and

blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a

thousand and six hundred furlongs.

(Rev 19:15) And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of

iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.

(Isa 63:1-6) Who is this that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah? this that is glorious in his apparel, travelling in the

greatness of his strength? I that speak in righteousness, mighty to save. Wherefore art thou red in thine apparel, and thy garments like him that treadeth in the winefat? I

have trodden the winepress alone; and of the people there was none with me: for I will tread them in mine anger, and trample them in my

fury; and their blood shall be sprinkled upon my garments, and I will stain all my raiment. For

the day of vengeance is in mine heart, and the year of my redeemed is come. And I looked, and there was none to help; and I wondered

that there was none to uphold: therefore mine own arm brought salvation unto me; and my

fury, it upheld me. And I will tread down the people in mine anger, and make them drunk in my fury, and I will bring down their strength

to the earth.

4. HIS VOICE (Rev 1:15) And

his feet like unto fine brass,

as if they burned in a

furnace; AND HIS VOICE AS THE SOUND OF MANY WATERS.

(Eze 43:1-2) Afterward he brought me to the gate,

even the gate that looketh toward the east: And, behold, the glory

of the God of Israel came from the way of the east: and his voice

was like a noise of many waters: and the earth shined with his glory.

(Rev 14:2) And I heard a voice from

heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their

harps:

5. HIS HAND (Rev 1:16) AND

HE HAD IN HIS RIGHT HAND

SEVEN STARS: and out of his mouth went a

sharp twoedged sword: and his

countenance was as the sun shineth

in his strength.

(Rev 1:20) The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right

hand, and the seven golden candlesticks.

The seven stars are the angels of the

seven churches: and the seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven churches.

(Rev 2:1) Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write…

(Rev 2:8) And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna

write…(Rev 2:12) And to the angel of

the church in Pergamos write…

(Rev 2:18) And unto the angel of the church in Thyatira

write…

(Rev 3:14-17) And unto the angel of the church of the

Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true

witness, the beginning of the creation of God; I know thy works, that thou art

neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. So then because thou art

lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my

mouth. Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and

have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable,

and poor, and blind, and naked:

GUARDIAN ANGELS OF PEOPLE (Mat 18:10) Take heed that ye despise not one of these little

ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father

which is in heaven.GUARDIAN ANGELS OF NATIONS

(Dan 12:1) And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of

thy people...

6. HIS MOUTH (Rev 1:16) And he

had in his right hand seven stars: and OUT OF HIS MOUTH WENT A

SHARP TWOEDGED

SWORD: and his countenance was as the sun shineth

in his strength.

(Heb 4:12) For the word of God is

quick, and powerful, and sharper than

any twoedged sword, piercing

even to the dividing asunder of soul and

spirit, and of the joints and marrow,

and is a discerner of the thoughts and

intents of the heart.

(1Pe 1:23) Being born again, not of

corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the

word of God, which liveth and abideth for

ever.

(Joh 12:48) He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my

words, hath one that judgeth him: the word

that I have spoken, the same shall

judge him in the last day.

7. HIS Countenanc

e (Rev 1:16) And he had in his right

hand seven stars: and Out of his mouth went a

sharp twoedged sword: and HIS

COUNTENANCE WAS AS THE SUN SHINETH IN HIS

STRENGTH.

(Mal 4:1-2) For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh

shall burn them up, saith the LORD of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.

But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness

arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and

grow up as calves of the stall.

(Zec 14:12) And this shall be the plague wherewith the

LORD will smite all the people that have fought against

Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and

their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and

their tongue shall consume away in their

mouth.

V. JOHN’S ELEVATION

(Eze 1:28) As the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud in the day of rain, so was the appearance of the

brightness round about. This was the appearance of the likeness of the

glory of the LORD. And when I saw it, I fell upon my face, and I heard a

voice of one that spake.(Dan 8:17) So he came near where I stood: and when he came, I was afraid, and fell upon my face: but he said unto me, Understand,

O son of man: for at the time of the end shall be the vision.

(Mat 17:5-6) While he yet spake, behold, a bright

cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This

is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye

him. And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and

were sore afraid.

VI. JOHN’S DICTATION

(Rev 1:19) Write the things which thou hast

seen, and the things which are, and the

things which shall be hereafter;

(2Ti 2:15) Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be

ashamed, rightly dividing the word of

truth.

1ST DOOR OPENS (Rev 4:1) After

this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was

as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up

hither, and I will shew thee things which must be

hereafter.

(Rev 19:11) And I saw heaven opened, and

behold a white horse; and he that sat upon

him was called Faithful and True, and in

righteousness he doth judge and

make war.
