Having previously gone through the book of Revelation, lets turn our attention to the Apostle John’s first work – the book of John a.k.a. the Gospel of John. The book of John is one of the most mystical books in the Bible. John probes its depths of mysteriousness, hidden meaning and revelation, explaining Jesus as the “Word” of Creation; using the term “I AM” right out of the story of the burning bush; and following the liturgy of the Passover. If one looks closely, it can be noticed that so much of John’s message and style is contained in both books. It would seem fitting to me that they could have been called “First and Second Revelation of Jesus Christ.”
John’s Gospel (book of John) reveals the deity of Christ in His first Advent and the revelation (book of Revelation) presents the deity of Christ in his Second Advent. John’s Gospel (book of John) is woven around the Spring festivals of Passover, Unleavened Bread and Firstfruits, while the book of Revelation is woven around the Autumn festivals of Trumpets, Atonement and Tabernacles.
