6 Then he said to me, “These words are faithful and true.” And the Lord God of the holy prophets sent His angel to show His servants the things which must shortly take place.

A. The angel assures John that what he has seen is assured. It is true. It will happen. God keeps His promises. (2 Corinthians 1:20)

B. As we near the end of Revelation we are reminded of the promise at the beginning, these are things that MUST shortly come to pass. (Revelation 1:1)

C. It is clear that the vision of Revelation was to begin shortly. It does not mean that all would be completed in a year or two. It does mean that they would begin to happen.
