Revelation 1:1-3

1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John:

2 Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw.

3 Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.

When others read "shortly come to pass" they end up putting their own time frame on that which is only God's timing. God's time is at "hand" also is measured in man's timing, but shortly and at hand is mentioned through out the Bible and means nothing more then the day of the Lord.

Some go as far as saying God's wrath already happened in 70AD, which it did with the destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple, but yet the Book of Revelation was written by John when he was around 96 years old while on the isle of Patmos being a prisoner for preaching the word in Asia Minor.

Revelation was given to John in visions as prophecies that had their beginnings in the Old Testament, being fulfilled in the New Testament and yet much to be fulfilled in future events before the great and terrible day of the Lords return.

Revelations is given to all nations and tongues that live throughout the whole world as in Jew and Gentile. Israel is mainly mentioned, but not all of Israel is Gods chosen people. Those who are washed in the blood of the Lamb are joined as a branch with Israel as God is the root of that branch and those who are sealed by His Holy Spirit are His own who find favor in Him, Romans 11:11-31. Therefore, our attention needs to be on those things that are happening in Israel especially Jerusalem as being Gods Holy City.​
