Revelation 1:1-3 KJV
The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John:
[2] Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw.
[3] Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.
The Revelation of Jesus Christ which God gave unto him - A revelation of God to his son Jesus Christ.
To shew His servants (Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Paul etc.) things that must shortly come to pass.
And He sent (the revelation given to Jesus) and signified by it his angel(His messengers rendered the revelation into signs - symbolic language) unto his servant John.
John bare record of the word of God (the existing scripture at that time) and of the testimony of Jesus Christ (the writings of the New Testament which Christ gave to his servants) and of all things John saw. (all the things John saw on the Lord's day - the Book of Revelation)
To summarize: John was given the cannon of scriptures on the isle of Pamos on the Lord's day. Not saying this is all right, but I'm opening it up for discussion.
