TSNTyndale Study Notes:

1:1 The word revelation (Greek apokalupsis) introduces the book’s visionary nature as apocalyptic writing (see Revelation Book Introduction, “Apocalyptic Writing”). God communicates his inspired message through mysterious symbols, numbers, and word pictures.
• from (or of) Jesus Christ: He is both the source and the main subject of the book.
• the events that must soon take place: Cp. 3:11; 22:6-7; Luke 18:8; Rom 16:20.

/the/_revelation ˱of˲_Jesus Christ which gave ˱to˲_him ¬the God

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of revelation, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “The things that God revealed to Jesus Christ” or “The things that Jesus Christ revealed, which God gave him”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

ἀποκάλυψις Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τοῖς δούλοις αὐτοῦ

˱to˲_the slaves ˱of˲_him

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐσήμανεν

˱he˲_signified_‹it›

The word translated signified could mean implicitly (1) that Jesus used signs or symbols to communicate this revelation. Alternate translation: “he showed this by signs” (2) that Jesus made known what must happen soon. Alternate translation: “he made this known”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person

τῷ δούλῳ αὐτοῦ, Ἰωάννῃ
