Christ Revealed to All

The Holy Bible is actually 66 books and letters in the Old and New Testaments. Many would think that Revelation is one of the hardest books in the Bible to understand. Christ is the key to interpreting the Book of Revelation. It is "The Revelation of Jesus Christ" (Revelation 1:1). From Genesis to Revelation, Christ is revealed to all in the Bible.

The revelation of Jesus Christ to all is in the Bible, inspired by the Holy Spirit. He is the Messiah prophesied in the Old Testament. The prophets spoke of the One who was coming. The New Testament declared He has come. His name is JESUS, who came as the Messiah of Israel and the Savior of the world. 

Christ is revealed to all in the Bible through progressive revelation. God spoke in times of old by the prophets who knew in part and prophesied in part (Hebrews 1:1-2). Today, we have the full revelation of Jesus Christ. He is the Word of God incarnate. "And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth" (John 1:14).

All Scripture points all to Christ. There are literally hundreds of types pointing toward Christ in the Old Testament. For example, the Passover Lamb in Exodus points toward Christ our Passover. "For indeed Christ, our Passover, was sacrificed for us" (1 Corinthians 5:7). It's the revelation of Jesus Christ.
