Verse 2
Who bare witness of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, even of all the things that he saw.
Some interpreters of this verse have found a reference to the gospel and John's testimony there; but the final clause appears to define the testimony as that contained in this prophecy.
Of the word of God ... This is the great affirmation here. It declares the Book of Revelation to be indeed and in truth the word of God, given by the Father to Christ, and by Christ to John, who in turn delivered it to the churches. This is the very loftiest claim that possibly could be made upon behalf of this sacred writing.
Of all things that he saw ... The one verb saw embraces also the things which John heard in the course of his seeing the visions.
