THE STORY OF THE SEER OF PATMOS

Stephen N. Haskell

“Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at
hand” Revelation 22:10.

John the heavenly message concerning the

consummation of the plan of redemption.

Moses recorded the story of Creation and the

Fall, and by faith he grasped the promise of a

Redeemer. John lived with that Redeemer, and

as he stood on Patmos, he looked back into the

past to the place where Moses stood on

Pisgah, and then forward to the City of God,

which he saw descending on the Mount of

Olives. The two mountain peaks from which

all history can be viewed are Genesis and

Revelation, the beginning and the end, the first

and the last.
