Raptured in Spirit. Rev 1: 9-14
In Revelations we can read.
I, John, your brother and companion in tribulation, in the kingdom and in perseverance, in Jesus, found myself on the island called Patmos, because of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus.
John was on the island of Patmos, see that John says he was on the island of Patmos because of the word of God and because of the testimony of Jesus.
In other words, John was sent to the island because of the practice of Christianity. He could have been sent to remove stones from the island, or just to be isolated.
The point was that he was isolated on the island of Patmos.
But we can still read in the sequence.
I was caught up in spirit on the day of the Lord, and I heard a great voice behind me, like a trumpet,
What we have is that John was taken in spirit. This effect occurs when the individual is transported in a vision. It is not known correctly whether the spirit of man is connected to the Spirit of God, and the Spirit generates the scenes.
The point is that spiritual images are formed, or scenes from the past, present or future. John says that he was taking on the day of the Lord. In the bible when we say the day of the Lord, we are talking about the return of Christ.
We can read this for example in the second epistle of Peter 3 verse 10.
But the Day of the Lord will come as the thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass with a great crash, and the elements, burning, will melt, and the earth and the works that are in it will burn.
What defines the Lord's day as the return of Christ.
So we have that João was looking at the end times, which is logical, because we are talking about the book that refers to the future.
But something is happening on the back because it says that behind John there was a great voice like a trumpet.
If we read Thessalonians 4:16 first we have:
For the same Lord will descend from heaven with a shout, and with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God; and those who died in Christ will rise first;
Thus linking the context of Revelations, like John being sent to the future, to the period of Christ's coming.
And the voice said to John the following.
What you see, write it in a book and send it to the seven churches in Asia: Ephesus, and Smyrna, and Pergamos, and Thyatira, and Sardis, and Philadelphia, and Laodicea.
We saw earlier that John sends a message to the seven churches, saying that he came from God, and in this verse, we see clearly that the message for the seven churches, was defined by God.
Thus, it was possible that the book of revelations has been multiplied and has continued to this day.
And John quotes.
And I turned to see who was talking to me. And as I turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks;
Note that João was curious to see who was talking to him, but when he turned around he saw seven golden candlesticks. And in that we can make a connection with the seven spirits of God. For the seven-armed chandelier would be called the Menorah.
At this point we have the representation of the Spirit of God, and enlightenment by his word. But the description becomes even clearer.
and, in the midst of the seven candlesticks, one similar to the Son of Man, dressed to the feet in a long garment and girded by the chest with a gold belt.
So we have the presence of Christ, and we have the seven spirits, defining the presence of God, and the eyes of God. This vision would have to have an idea of ​​what should happen.
