Rev.1:2 (John) Who bare record of the word of God, and of the “testimony of Jesus Christ,” and of all things that he saw. 

  Let us look at Jesus (S) testimony, remember he told the disciples: “A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, ye shall see me, because I go to the Father.” (John 16:16)

 "Going to the Father" here is referring to the sign of Jonah.

Christians understand it to mean his death and resurrection.

But he did not go to the Father: "for I am not yet ascended (5758)"

But he told Mary Magdalene to tell the disciples he did: "I ascend (5719)" already died and resurrected. Read the entire verse:

Greek John 20:17  Jesus saith unto her, Toch me not; for I am not yet ascended (5758)" to my Father: but go to my bretheren, and say unto them, I ascend (5719) unto my Father, and your Father; and my God, and your God. 

“Ascended” it mean, Going up. But he was standing just in front of Mary Magdalene. So that statement does not mean going to Heaven, he was referring to what he has told the disciples earlier in John 16:16(KJV) “A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, ye shall see me, because I go to the Father.”

 Let us read it in context as we can see some of the disciples were enquiring what he meant: 17Then said some of his disciples among themselves, What is this that he saith unto us, A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me: and, “Because I go to the Father?”
 18They said therefore, What is this that he saith A little while? we cannot tell what he saith.

Now, Jesus (S) explained: 

19Now Jesus knew that they were desirous to ask him, and said unto them, Do ye enquire among yourselves of that I said, “A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me?”

 In V.20 to 33, Christians understand to mean “the death and resurrection.” So, when he said: “Because I go to the Father” that is referring to his death. It read as follows: “20Verily, verily, I say unto you, That ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: and ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy.
 21A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world.
 22And ye now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you.”
 

 28 I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go to the Father.

 32Behold, the hour cometh, yea, is now come, that ye shall be scattered, every man to his own, and shall leave me alone: and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me.
 33These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

Which “hour” he is talking about? The “hour” of “going to the Father”

  As I have pointed out before, Christians understand this statement: “Because I go to the Father” to mean “the death and resurrection.” We Muslims understand it to mean the sign that was promises to the Jews when Jesus (S) said in Matt.12:40 :“For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the wale’s belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.”.

Did Jonas die in the wale belly? No! He [Jesus (S)] went to Geth-sem-a-ne and pray asking God Almighty to change the situation.

   Matt.26:35-39 And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and very heavy. Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me. And he went a little farther, and fell on his face. And prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou will.

 And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him. (Luke 22:43)

  Jesus (S) said, “My soul” and not “flesh”- not his human side but his spiritual side- soul.

He said in John 16: 32:  Behold, the hour cometh, yea, is now come, that ye shall be scattered, every man to his own, and shall leave me alone: and yet I am not alone, because the Father is “with me”.

 Also in John 14:10 Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.

  If the Father is “with him and in him”, what is the purpose of “sending an angel?” Do angels strengthen God? Or why the angel has to strengthen Jesus (S) when all power was given unto him? The angel was assuring him what is going to happen; and what happen? He did not go to the Father (died)!  Greek John 20:17  Jesus saith unto her, Toch me not; for I am not yet ascended (5758)" to my Father: but go to my bretheren, and say unto them, I ascend (5719) unto my Father, and your Father; and my God, and your God. 

 And this is what it says in Rev.1:3 Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.

John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from “him” which is, and which was, and which is to come; “and” from the seven Spirits which are before his throne; V.5‘And’ from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness… Rev.1: 4-5

  So who verse 4 is talking about, Jesus (S)? No! Verse 5 says,“‘And’ from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness…”

  Jesus (S) was only a “faithful witness.” How Christians didn’t see that?

Rev.1:5 continue: …and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,

That is a concoction. According to Jesus (S) testimony above, he didn’t die.

Rev.1:6 And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

  By follow his true teachings.

 Rev.1:7 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.

“and every eye shall see him, they also which pierced him” That is another concoction. What is more evident is “they also which pierced him will see him” Are they still existed?

Rev.1:8  I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.

Who is this, Jesus (S)? No! This verse tie into Rev.1:4

(Brackets added)

Rev.1: 4 …Grace be unto you, and peace, from “him” which is, and which was, and which is to come (on judgment Day); “and” from the seven Spirits which are before his throne; V. 5 “And” from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness,

(1)          from “him” which is, and which was, and which is to come

(2)          “and” from the seven Spirits which are before his throne

(3)          “And” from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness,

 Let us find out who really is on this throne.

Revelation 4:2  And immediately I (John) was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne.

Rev.4:3 And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald.

 Rev.4:4 And round about the throne were four and twenty seats: and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold.

 Rev.4:5 And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God.

 Rev.4:9 And when those beasts give glory and honour and thanks to him that sat on the throne, who liveth for ever and ever,

 Rev.4:11 Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.

Who created all things? The one that sits on the throne:

Revelation 5

 Rev.5:1 And I saw in the right hand of “him that sat on the throne” a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals.

You see that? The One that sits on the throne has a book, and what he did with it? Let’s find out.

(Brackets added)

Rev.5:7And he (the Lamb) came and took the book out of the right hand of him (God Almighty) that sat upon the throne.

 Who took the book out of the right hand of him that sat on the throne? The Lamb! And who is sitting on the throne? God Almighty!

Nothing new! It’s all in Revelation 1:1

Rev.1:1The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God (Almighty) gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John:

“For I have not spoken on My own authority; but the Father who sent Me gave Me a command, what I should say and what I should speak." (John 12:49)

And who was Jesus (S)? Revelation 1:5 says, “…Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness…”
