The Text.
1 THE Revelation of Jesus Christ [i.e. the Discovery and Ma∣nifestation of Divine Secrets in a Prophetical Vision from Jesus Christ:] which God [the Father] gave unto him [the Great Prophet and Mediatour,] to shew [or make known by Prophetical Symbols and Representations, and actually to exhibit, or pro∣duce the Effect of every Vision in its proper time,] unto his Ser∣vants [i. e. those Eminent and Faithful Christians, especially Mi∣nisters, who dedicate themselves to his Service,] things which must shortly [i. e. suddenly and speedily begin 1 to] come to pass [one after another;] and [or which†] he [Christ] sent and signified it [i. e. made known the Prophetical Visions of this Book] by his2Angel [sometimes one special Angel sent for this purpose, and sometimes another] unto his Servant John.
Notes
So the word is taken, John 5, 20.14, 8. and in this sense God is said to shew Christ; and he to be Revealed, when he came into the World.
