This is a little snippet from the transcript of the Mobile conference, audio 5. There is so much in it about the Apostles and the Scriptures they were writing.
The is, was and is to come aspect of Jesus Christ has been brought out in another thread, so I thought I would would start a new topic, as Ray gave some insight into this subject. There is much more about this on the audio/transcript.

I’ll give you a little insight into Revelation. This book is the testimony of Jesus Christ, which is the Spirit of prophecy.
Rev 1:1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to show unto His servants, even the things which must shortly(quickly) come to pass: and He sent and signified it by His angel unto His servant John;
v. 2 who bare witness of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, even of all things that he saw.
v. 3 Blessed is he that reads, and they that hear the words of the prophecy, and keep the things that are written therein: for the time is at hand.
v. 4 John to the seven churches that are in Asia:
Rev 1:8 I am the Alpha and the Omega, says the Lord God, who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.
He just keeps repeating this over and over. That He existed, He was killed, resurrected and He now is and He will come. Everything in this book is and was and will come, see. To every generation who reads this, He’s coming to you. He came in the pass, He is coming now, He’ll come in the future. How does this happen quickly?
It happens to you when you are born and have grown up big enough to read these pages and God opens up your mind. Then you have just so long to change your life, get rid of the beast, get rid of the carnality in you. That’s got to be done quickly, because at best we live, you know….well some of us live longer, but you live to maybe 80. If I live to be 130, my life would just now be half over with. Think about it.
So Jesus Christ is, was and will be in every generation, that was and is now and will be. This is a work in progress. This is about US.
Listen when they are closing the lid, it’s your last generation, you know. I don’t care if you were born in the 300’s or 800’s or 1600’s or 1900’s, that’s all you get, that short period of time. So these thing have to be done quickly.

Acts 1:7 And He said to them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father has put in His own power.
This was the last time, before He was taken up into heaven, out of sight. The Father knows, but in Rev 1:1 you have, “God gave Him (Jesus Christ)” that revelation.
God gave the revelation to Jesus Christ. The whole book of Revelation is that testimony of Jesus Christ and has everything to do with His coming in us and coming back to the world.
Rev 5:10 And You made us kings and priests to our God, and we will reign over the earth.
He coming back to use us to convert all the nations, we will be kings and priests and we will reign with Him and it says on the earth for 1000 years.
Rev 20:4 …And they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
But it is not a 1000 years, that’s a symbol for something. I think I know what that something is now. I know when the 1000 years ends. But that is another subject for another time.
