Rev 1:1 "The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him..."
Rev 5:1-7
1 And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals.
2 And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof?
3 And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon.
4 And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon.
5 And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.
6 And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.
7 And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne.
Jesus apparently did not have the Revelation while he was on earth.
Mark 13:32 "But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father."
There is one timeline and also one eternal line...that is one according to men and the ways of this created world that exist only for "
a time, times, and half a time", and there is also a reality that does not exist on a timeline but is eternal (always).
In the eternal, Jesus received the revelation scroll/book "
before the foundation of the world" after which He became the Word--including all that is written.
The difference then and why the Son did not know ("
the day or the hour") but only the Father, is because He lowered Himself to be within the timeline of the revelations given by God, "
line upon line, here a little, there a little." Within that timeline existence God is rightly called "
Son" and therefore only received from the Father according to what is written, which was not then completely fulfilled, and thus not known to Him as "
Son" existing as a man within the unfinished timeline. In other words, as a man Jesus was subject to the timeline of men and the revelation timeline of the Father.
Consider then when considering the timeline of revelation given to men, if given "
here a little, there a little"...and that we the church are His body, even now not fully complete-- is revelation given today, because He in His body is not yet fully complete? And what was to be the leading unto all truth--was it not by the Holy Spirit who comes regularly even during these days? What then shall we consider is the finish of the scroll, that bitter sweet word that makes it complete? Is it yet to come in full because the door is not yet closed? Or what, is the door closed already, or open?
But we are speaking of the things of God, which, if we can receive it, ought to cut the road and worldly timeline off immediately behind those who pass for death to life...thus making every revelation "
in the twinkling of an eye." Which would mean that Jesus received the scroll/book at His own passing--and we who are His with Him.
