Apocalipsis 1:19 Meaning and Commentary

Revelation 1:19

Write the things which thou hast seen
The Alexandrian copy and some others, and the Complutensian edition, read, "write therefore the things" meaning what he had now seen, the vision of one like to the son of man, amidst the golden candlesticks, with seven stars in his right hand, and as above described; this was what he had seen ( Revelation 1:12 Revelation 1:13 Revelation 1:16 ) ; for it does not refer to what he had seen of Christ in the days of his flesh, but to what he had now seen in this representation of him:

and the things which are;
the state of the churches of Christ in the apostolic age, and at that time signified by the Ephesian church, and that part of the Smyrnean which John lived to see:

and the things which shall be hereafter;
from hence unto the end of the world, in successive generations, signified by the rest of the churches, and in the visions of the seals, trumpets, and vials.

Apocalipsis 1:19 In-Context

17 Al verlo, caí a sus pies como muerto; pero él, poniendo su mano derecha sobre mí, me dijo: «No tengas miedo. Yo soy el Primero y el Último,

18 y el que vive. Estuve muerto, pero ahora vivo por los siglos de los siglos, y tengo las llaves de la muerte y del infierno.

19 »Escribe, pues, lo que has visto, lo que sucede ahora y lo que sucederá después.

20 Esta es la explicación del misterio de las siete estrellas que viste en mi mano derecha, y de los siete candelabros de oro: las siete estrellas son los ángeles de las siete iglesias, y los siete candelabros son las siete iglesias.
