Please read Revelation 1.

Meditate on this phrase from verse 1.
The Revelation of Jesus Christ…
What a blessing to hold in your hand a letter written to churches revealing our Savior, Jesus Christ! As you read the words of this prophecy, you get a sneak peek into the end of time and God’s coming judgement, but do not be too focused on those things; fix your eyes on Jesus because He is the focus of this book.
When I (Marsha) studied Revelation using Precept Upon Precept Bible studies, I was taught to take it literally because John is describing what he saw in his vision (vs. 11, 19). Part of the Bible study was drawing what was depicted in chapters 4-22. It was an amazing way to handle Revelation. You may want to get 19 pieces of paper and do the same.
Ask the LORD to give insight with understanding into this revelation of Jesus, getting to know Him like you never have before.
As a faithful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7), pray Revelation 1:8 and 14-18, acknowledging Jesus.
“LORD God, You are the Alpha and the Omega,
who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.
Your head and Your hair are white like white wool, like
snow, and Your eyes are like a flame of fire.
Your feet are like burnished bronze, when it has been
made to glow in a furnace, and Your voice is like the sound of
many waters. In Your right hand You hold
seven stars and out of Your mouth comes a sharp
two-edged sword, and Your face is like the sun shining
in its strength. I will not be afraid because You are the
first and the last, the living One; You were dead, and behold,
You are alive forevermore, and You have the keys of death and Hades.
You are the LORD God, Almighty Jesus~”
