"The Revelation (unveiling or uncovering & it is singular - no 's' on the end) of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him (Jesus) to show to His bond-servants (Gr. doulos -one who chooses to remain forever in service to a master by choice), the things which must speedily (happen quickly after they start) take place; and He sent and signified (by signs or codes) it by His angel to His bond-servant John," (Revelation 1:1)
God the Father gave Jesus -
Ever look at the things Jesus didn’t know while He was on earth as a man?
Ever wonder when it was that God the Father revealed this revelation to Jesus?

Luke tells us that Jesus grew in wisdom where he says, “The Child continued to grow and become strong, increasing in wisdom;” (Luke 2:40).
Jesus tells us there are things He didn’t know while on earth like when He says, “But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone.” (Matthew 24:36)

Read and study the Word with an open mind and allow the Holy Spirit to guide you. Be like the Berean church of Acts 17:11, and study to see if the things you hear are true and in agreement with the entire Bible.
Look for things like this outline of the book of Revelation in 1:19.
Things that Were? The past of the first 18 verses.
Are? Chapters 2 and 3 about the Church.
Will be? Chapters 4-22 about the time after the Church is removed and the wrath of God begins on the "earth dwellers" and the future judgement of unbelievers. Also, the start of our real and eternal life with God in the new Heaven and earth.

The Bible is a wonderful, exciting book and everything in it and everything not in it is for a reason.

Dig into the Bible daily and get better acquainted with the author – God. (2 Timothy 3:16)
Have a very blessed Christmas!
