5. Preparations for the End Time
Christ and the End of Days
Today we can see that nearly all of what Jesus warned about has come to pass. We can see the fulfillment of two major time prophecies, as well.
The first is the “time and times and the dividing of time” of Daniel 7:25, which began in the sixth century a.d. (a.d. 538) and ended in the late eighteenth century (a.d. 1798).
Ang Ating Mithiin. Ang tunay na pokus ay kay Jesus—tungkol sa kung sino Siya, anong nagawa Niya para sa atin, anong ginagawa Niya sa atin, at anong gagawin Niya kapag Siya’y bumalik na nga. ¶ Mas lalo tayong nakapokus sa Kanya, mas magiging kagaya Niya tayo, mas susunod tayo sa Kanya, at mas nahahanda tayo para sa lahat ng nalalaan sa atin, parehong sa nalalapit na kinabukasan at sa wakas.

Si Jesus at ang Aklat ng Apocalipsis

7. Jesus and the Book of Revelation
Key Text
Revelation 3:21 NIV
“To the one who is victorious, I will give the right to sit with me on my throne, just as I was victorious and sat down with my Father on his throne.”
Susing Talata. “Ang magtagumpay ay pagkakalooban ko na umupong kasama ko sa aking trono, gaya ko naman na nagtagumpay at umupong kasama ng aking Ama sa kanyang trono.” (Apocalipsis 3:21).

8. Revelation is all about Jesus, about who He is, about what He has done
Jesus and the Book of Revelation
Initial Words
The New Testament is tied directly to the Old. The same can be said for the book of Revelation. It’s impossible to make sense of the book of Revelation apart from the book of Daniel.
Revelation is all about Jesus, about who He is, about what He has done
for His people, and about what He
will do for us at the end of time.
Panimulang Salita. Ang Bagong Tipan ay tuwirang nakatali sa Luma. Masasabi ang ganun din sa aklat ng Apocalipsis. Imposibleng maunawaan ang aklat ng Apocalipsis na hiwalay sa aklat ng Daniel. ¶ Ang Apocalipsis ay tungkol lahat kay Jesus, tungkol sa kung sino Siya, tungkol sa nagawa Niya para sa Kanyang bayan, at tungkol sa gagawin Niya sa wakas ng panahon.

10. For they drank of that spiritual Rock...and that Rock was Christ.”
Jesus and the Book of Revelation
1. Old Testament and Revelation
1 Corinthians 10:1-4 NKJV
“I do not want you to be unaware that all our fathers were under the cloud,
all passed through the sea, all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea, all ate the same spiritual food, and all drank the same spiritual drink.
For they drank of that spiritual Rock...and that Rock was Christ.”
1. Ang Lumang Tipan at Apocalipsis. “Hindi ko nais na hindi ninyo malaman na ang ating mga ninuno ay dumaan sa ilalim ng ulap, at silang lahat ay tumawid sa dagat, at lahat ay nabautismuhan kay Moises sa ulap at sa dagat; at lahat ay kumain ng isang pagkaing espirituwal; at lahat ay uminom ng isang inuming espirituwal. ¶ Sapagkat sila’y umiinom sa batong espirituwal...at ang Batong iyon ay si Cristo” (1 Corinto 10:1-4).

11. Old Testament and Revelation
The Structure of Revelation
Among the many things that Daniel and Revelation have in common are their two divisions: historical and eschatological (end-time events).
Both these concepts are linked intricately in each book. By studying what happened in Old Testament history, we can have insights for what will happen in our days and beyond.
Ang Kaayusan ng Apocalipsis. Kasama sa maraming bagay na magkatulad ang Daniel at Apocalipsis ay ang kanilang dalawang pagkakahati: pangkasaysayan at eskatolohikal (mga pangyayari sa wakas ng panahon). ¶ Ang dalawang konseptong ito’y buong kumplikadong magkaugnay sa bawat aklat. Sa pamamagitan ng pag-aaral sa nangyari sa kasaysayan sa Lumang Tipan, maaaring magkaron tayo ng kakayahang makaunawa sa mga mangyayari sa ating kapanahunan at lagpas pa dun.

12. This is represented by Jesus’ walking among the lampstands (Rev 1:13).
Old Testament and Revelation
The Sanctuary Motif in Revelation
Revelation also has another structural layer, one built around the sanctuary.
The earthly sanctuary begins at the altar of burnt offering, where the animals were slain (symbolic of the Cross). The priest would then enter into the first apartment.
This is represented by Jesus’ walking among the lampstands (Rev 1:13).
Ang Paksa ng Santuwaryo sa Apocalipsis. May isa pang patong sa kaayusan, isa na nakaugat sa santuwaryo. ¶ Nagpapasimula ang santuwaryo sa lupa sa dambana ng sinunog na handog, kung saan pinatay ang mga hayop (simboliko ng Krus). Pagkatapos ay papasok ang pari sa unang silid. ¶ Kinakatawanan ito nang paglalakad ni Jesus sa mga ilawan (Apocalipsis 1:13).

13. Old Testament and Revelation
The Sanctuary Motif in Revelation
We can see not just Jesus’ two-apartment ministry but the fact that events in heaven and earth are linked.
Even amid the trials of history and the last days as depicted in the book of Revelation, we have the assurance that “all heaven is engaged in the work of preparing a people to stand in the day of the Lord’s preparation.”—My Life Today 307.
Makikita natin di lang ang ministri ni Jesus sa dalawang silid kundi ang katotohanan na ang mga pangyayari sa langit at sa lupa ay magkaugnay. ¶ Kahit pa sa gitna ng mga pagsubok ng kasaysayan at ang huling araw gaya nang pagkakalarawan sa aklat ng Apocalipsis, may katiyakan tayo na “lahat ng langit ay abala sa gawain nang paghahanda ng isang bayan na tatayo sa araw ng paghahanda ng Panginoon.”—My Life Today 307.

“The Revelation of Jesus Christ...to show His servants—things which must shortly take place. ... Jesus Christ,...the ruler over the kings of the earth. To Him who loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood....
Behold, He is coming with clouds....
2. Si Cristo at Apocalipsis—1. “Ang apocalipsis ni Jesu-Cristo...upang ipahayag sa kanyang mga alipin ang mga bagay na kinakailangang mangyari sa madaling panahon.... Si Jesu-Cristo, ang pinuno ng mga hari sa lupa. Doon sa umiibig sa atin, at sa nagpalaya sa atin mula sa ating mga kasalanan sa pamamagitan ng kanyang dugo.... ¶ Tingnan ninyo, siya'y dumarating na nasa mga ulap...” (Apocalipsis 1:1-8).

17. The opening words of the book are, “The revelation of Jesus Christ”
2. Christ and Revelation—1
Images of Jesus
Everything in Revelation, from the structure to the content, has one purpose: to reveal Jesus Christ.
The opening words of the book are, “The revelation of Jesus Christ”
(Apocalypsis Iesou Christou).
This generally is understood as
(1) “the revelation from Jesus Christ” or
(2) “the revelation about Jesus Christ.”
Lahat na nasa Apocalipsis, mula sa kaayusan hanggang sa nilalaman, ay may isang layunin: para ipahayag si Jesu-Cristo. ¶ Ang panimulang mga salita ng aklat ay, “Ang apocalipsis ni Jesu-Cristo (Apocalypsis Iesou Christou). ¶ Sa pangkalahatan ito’y nauunawaan bilang (1) “ang apocalipsis mula kay Jesu-Cristo” o (2) “ang apocalipsis tungkol kay Jesu-Cristo.”

18. Central to the whole Christian faith is the promise of Christ’s return
2. Christ and Revelation—1
Images of Jesus
Central to the whole Christian faith
is the promise of Christ’s return
“with the clouds” (Rev. 1:7).
Jesus will come again, a literal return in an event that the whole world will witness—an event that once and for all ends the suffering, chaos, and ruin of this world and ushers in all the promises of eternity.
Sentro sa buong pananampalatayang Kristiyano ay ang pangako ng pagbabalik ni Cristo “na nasa mga ulap” (Apocalipsis 1:7). ¶ Muling paririto ni Jesus, isang literal na pagbabalik sa isang pangyayaring masasaksihan ng buong mundo—isang pangyayari na una at higit sa lahat ay tatapusin ang pagdurusa, kaguluhan, at kawakasan ng sanlibutang ito at papapasukin ang lahat ng mga pangako ng kawalang-hanggan.

3. Christ and Revelation—2
Revelation 1:10, 11, 18 NKJV
“I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s Day, and I heard...a loud voice, as of a trumpet, saying, “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last”....
I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. ... And I have the keys of Hades and of Death.”
3. Si Cristo at Apocalipsis—2. “Ako ay nasa Espiritu sa araw ng Panginoon. At narinig ko...ang malakas na tinig na katulad ng tunog ng isang trumpeta. Sinabi nito: Ako ang Alpha at ang Omega, ang simula at ang wakas. ... ¶ Ako yaong nabubuhay at yaong namatay. Narito, ako ay buhay magpakailan pa man. ... Nasa akin ang mga susi ng hades at ng kamatayan” (Apocalipsis 1:10, 11, 18 SND).

20. (Rev. 1:11, NKJV)—references to His eternal existence as God.
3. Christ and Revelation—2
The Center of All
Jesus points to Himself as “the Alpha and Omega, the First and the Last”
(Rev. 1:11, NKJV)—references to His eternal existence as God.
Jesus also has the keys of “Hades and of Death.” Jesus is saying: “ ‘I am the re-surrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. And...never die.’ ” (John 11:25, 26).
Ang Sentro ng Lahat. Itinuturo ni Jesus ang sarili bilang “ang Alpha at Omega, ang simula at ang wakas” (Apocalipsis 1:11, SND)—mga pagtukoy sa Kanyang walang-hanggan pag-iral bilang Diyos. ¶ Nakay Jesus din ang mga susi ng “hades at ng kamatayan.” Sinasabi ni Jesus: “ ‘Ako ang muling pagkabuhay at ang buhay. Ang sumasampalataya sa akin, bagama’t siya’y mamatay, ay mabubuhay. At...hindi mamamatay magpakailanman’ ” (Juan 11:25, 26).

21. The Center of All
EGW, The SDA Bible Commentary 6:1092
“Christ Jesus is the Alpha and the Omega, the Genesis of the Old Testament, and the Revelation of the New. Both meet together in Christ.
Adam and God are reconciled by the obedience of the second Adam, who accomplished the work of overcoming the temptations of Satan and redeeming Adam’s disgraceful failure and fall.”
EGW, The SDA Bible Commentary 6:1092. “Si Cristo Jesus ang Alpha at ang Omega, ang Genesis ng Lumang Tipan, at ang Apocalipsis ng Bago. Ang dalawa’y nagtatagpo kay Cristo. ¶ Si Adan at ang Diyos ay napagkasundo sa pamamagitan ng pagiging masunurin ng ikalawang Adan, na nagampanan ang gawain nang pagtatagumpay sa mga tukso ni Satanas at pagtutubos sa nakakahiyang kabiguan at pagkakasala ni Adan.”

22. 3. Christ and Revelation—2
The Center of All
Yes, Jesus is the beginning and the end. He created us in the beginning, and He will re-create us in the end.
From start to finish, as it teaches us about history and end-time events, the book of Revelation is still the Apocalypsis Iesou Christou. Whatever else we may study about final events, Jesus Christ must be the center of it all.
Oo, si Jesus ang pasimula at ang wakas, Nilikha Niya tayo sa pasimula, at lilikhaing muli Niya tayo sa wakas. ¶ Mula sa pasimula hanggang katapusan, samantalang tinuturuan nito tayo tungkol sa kasaysayan at mga pangyayari sa wakas ng panahon, ang aklat ng Apocalipsis ay nananatiling ang Apocalypsis Iesou Christou. Anu pa mang ibang maaari nating pag-aralan tungkol sa pangwakas na mga pangyayari, si Jesu-Cristo ay dapat na maging sentro ng lahat nito.

23. Final Words
The Acts of the Apostles 584.
“The Lord Himself revealed to His servant the mysteries contained in this book, and He designs that they shall be open to the study of all. Its truths are addressed to those living in the last days of this earth’s history.... Some of the scenes depicted...are in the past, some are now taking place; some bring to view the close of the great conflict....”
Huling Pananalita. “Ang Panginoon mismo ay inihayag sa Kanyang lingkod ang mga misteryo na nakapaloob sa aklat na ito, at pinanukala Niya na ang mga ito ay maging bukas sa pag-aaral ng lahat. Ang mga katotohanan nito ay ipinatungkol sa mga nabubuhay sa huling araw ng kasaysayan ng mundong ito.... Ang ibang mga tagpong inilarawan...ay nasa nakaraan, ang iba ay nangyayari ngayon; ang iba’y dinadala sa tanawin ang pagsasara ng malaking labanan....”—The Acts of the Apostles 584.
