For those who missed it last week, Pastor Bob has started us in a study of Revelations. This is going to be an amazing study! Last week we covered the first 7 verses of Chapter 1. This week I sat down and re-read these verses again and was struck by something that I missed on Sunday morning. Take a look at the first 2 verses again and map out the “chain of custody” that is laid out before us. As an Apologetics junkie, I was totally blown away with the “evidence”. Can you see the “Chain of Custody” and the detailed evidence chain that Jesus takes the time to lay out before us?!?!?

It has been pointed out that I need to clear up the “Chain of Custody” term. I got this from J. Warner Wallace who is a Christian Apologist that is a former Cold-Case homicide detective. He uses his unique skill set and applies them to the evidence for Christianity. What is meant by this term is that it is a way to describe the authenticity of the Scripture you are reading. The first 7 verses of Revelation describe how what we read in this amazing book was passed down from God to Jesus to the Holy Spirit and the angels and finally by the Holy Spirit to the apostle John. It is an amazing way to show that John is not just making this up and writing fiction but instead is writing of things that were passed down to him directly from God Almighty.
