📚 Historical Context

Revelation 1:7 comes from the book of Revelation, written by the Apostle John during his exile on the island of Patmos around 95 AD, amid severe persecution of Christians under the Roman Emperor Domitian. This verse draws from Old Testament prophecies like Daniel 7:13, which depicts the Son of Man coming with clouds, symbolizing Christ's triumphant return and the final judgment. It serves as a vivid prophetic warning that all people, including those responsible for Jesus' crucifixion, will witness this event.
