Chapter 1  What is "The Revelation to John"?

◆ John in Prison and the Revelation

 The description "I John was on the island called Patomos on account of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus," is in the text [1-9] of the Revelation. And the scene of John in prison is described on page 49 of the "The Plan of God" (Shinchosha Co.), which is the work by Mr. Kojiro Serizawa in Japan, then I will quote a few. Mr. Serizawa has written that he was told from Parent God that his previous life was "John."

 "John spent his whole life on missions, and around A.D. 94, he who was 84 years old was evangelizing in the big city Ephesus, which was on the coast in the Aegean Sea, however, he was arrested by the Roman emperor Domitianus and thrown into the prison of the cave on the island of Patomos. The prison existed in the inner part of deep cave, since light did not enter at all, it was true darkness there, and waterdrops continued falling from the upper or also from his side, and always fell on his body that both hands and legs were connected with the chain. He might be executed immediately, or someday after sending him to Rome, might be eaten by lions in the Colosseum, or might be burned at the stake, and in the dark cave, he who could only do merely waiting for death thought that before dying he had what should be written, having very regretting, he emitted light from his whole spirit and prayed to God. For the humankind's future, please give me a life until I write it. The first, I have to write the Gospels about Jesus Christ, the second, I have to leave some letters to many friends about the Evangels, and the third, .... thus, when he prayed, the tear fell on his face which was going to try to look up at Heaven, and he sobbed."

 "The third" in here is "The Revelation to John." John was led by God in the prison, consequently, his soul escaped from his flesh and ascended to Heaven, and he had seen the prophecy of God about the humankind's future in detail, and soon, he was released and described three writings, which remained till the present age.
