Christ Himself is the Word who makes the secret of the Lord known. John, the apostle, introduced his Gospel by identifying the Son as the Word, stating, ‘In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God… And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.’ Joh 1:1,14. Yahweh Son became the substance of the word of the Father when He was begotten as the Son of God. Heb 1:5.
As the Word, the Son is the sum of the Scriptures, which have been written down by the Lord’s apostles and prophets. From His throne, the Son has communicated the word of the Covenant to the holy prophets through the angel, Gabriel. As the prophets wrote down what they were caused, by the Holy Spirit, to hear and see, their writings became the Scriptures. 1Pe 1:12. Verifying this principle, the Lord Himself said, ‘Surely the Lord God does nothing, unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets.’ Amo 3:7.
Further illustrating the order by which the Scriptures were written, we note the testimony of the apostle John in the book of Revelation. He opened his prophetic book, writing, ‘The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God [the Father] gave Him to show His servants – things which must shortly take place. And He sent and signified it by His angel to His servant John, who bore witness to the word of God, and to the testimony of Jesus Christ, to all things that he saw. Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written in it; for the time is near.’ Rev 1:1‑3.
