Yes, right. No one was closer to Jesus than John. Head on Jesus chest during the last Passover dinner. Always there when not all were. The first to follow him. Was given Jesus' Mom, Mary instead of James, her son by Joseph. Was there close to the cross when He died. Had years with Mary to hear the whole story of Jesus' life that he said would take more books than could be contained to tell it all. And it goes on and on about John's relationship and closeness to The Lord but then .......
Rev 1:10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,
Rev 1:11 Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.
Rev 1:12 And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks;
Rev 1:13 And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle.
Rev 1:14 His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;
Rev 1:15 And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.
Rev 1:16 And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.
Rev 1:17 And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead...
I have to laugh when I hear anyone say that they are so intimate with the Presence of Jesus that they don't fear at all.
Actually, it's not funny -- it's pitiful that their view of The LORD GOD ALMIGHTY is so small.
