An Overview of Revelation Part 1

If you don't know it by now, I'll let you in on a little secret of mine... I'm obsessed with the book of Revelation. I don't know why, or what good it'll do me, but there it is.
So, I feel the need to spread my neuroses to the rest of mankind. I decided since it's been my favorite for so long, why not do a series on it here on myspace. This book is important, especially now. I believe (though I could be wrong) that it contains more prophecy than any other book in the bible.
So, let's get started. I'm going to go chapter by chapter, with a summary at the end.
Rev. 1:1-20
[1] The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show his servants what must soon take place. He made it known by sending his angel to his servant John, [2] who testifies to everything he saw--that is, the word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ. [3] Blessed is the one who reads the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear it and take to heart what is written in it, because the time is near."
Greetings and Doxology
[4] John,
To the seven churches in the province in Asia:
Grace and peace to you from him who is, and who was, and who is to come, and from the seven spirits before his throne, [5] and from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth.
To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood, [6] and has made us to be a kingdom and priests to serve his God and Father--to him be glory and power for ever and ever! Amen.
[7]Look, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him., even those who pierced him; and all the peoples of the earth will mourn because of him.
So shall it be! Amen.
[8] "I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God, "who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty."
One Like a Son of Man
[9] I John, your brother and companion in the suffering and kingdom and patient endurance that are ours in Jesus, was on the island of Patmos because of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus. [10] On the Lord's Day I was in the Spirit, and I heard behind me a loud voice like a trumpet, [11] which said: "Write on a scroll what you see and send it to the seven churches: to Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia and Laodicea."
[12] I turned around to see the voice that was speaking to me. And when I turned, I saw seven golden lampstands, [13] and among the lampstands was someone "like a son of man," dressed in a robe reaching down to his feet and with a golden sash around his chest. [14] His head and hair were white like wool, as white as snow, and his eyes were like blazing fire. His feet were like bronze glowing in a furnace, and his voice was like the sound of rushing waters. [16] In his right hand he held seven stars, and out of his mouth came a sharp double-edged sword. His face was like the sun shining in all its brilliance.
[17] When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. Then he placed his right hand on me and said: "Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last. [18] I am the Living One; I was dead, and behold I am alive for ever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and Hades.
[19]Write, therefore, what you have seen, what is now and what will take place later. [20] The mystery of the seven stars that you saw in my right hand and of the seven golden lampstands is this: The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands are the seven churches.

*************************************************
Whew! Still with me? This is what I've been able to sort out with all the reference books I've read so far.
The first 8 verses are about the second coming. And verse 7 is a prophesy for the future. (This one has not been fulfilled.)
Verses 9-20 are about the 1st vision given to John. *Verse 10 "...on the Lord's Day..." What day is that? Sunday or Pentecost?*
In verse 12 when it mentions the seven golden lampstands, we later learn in verse 20 that they represent the seven churches.
The seven churches are real churches in Asia...I often wondered if they had been moved, destroyed, or abandoned after all this time. (click here for a map.)
The rest of this chapter is fairly easy to read. So, if there's anything anyone wants to add or correct me on, please feel free. Teach me, so I can understand this better. I think it just might come in handy pretty soon.
Thanks for reading!
