What New John Saw

Rv 1:2
who testifies
to everything he saw-that is,
the word of God and
the testimony of Jesus Christ.

  

Jesus took the scroll from God’s right hand in Rv 5 and began to open the seven seals one by one starting from Rv 6.  He opened all of them in Rv 8. He gave the opened (revealed) scroll to the angel in Rv 10, who then gave the opened scroll, the revelation, to the New John. 

Like Jesus at the First Coming (Ez 3), the New John received and ate the scroll (Rv 10:8-10).

The angel told the New John to prophesy this word and what he saw (Rv 1:2) again to the peoples, nations, languages, and kings (Rv 10:11).  In Rv 11, while he was preaching according to this command, the New John was killed by those who came out of the Abyss; but, like Jesus, he came back to life in 3 days.

The reasons why they killed the New John were that they considered the revealed word as a blasphemy just like the people at the First Coming, and they, who were the sun, moon, and stars that darkened and fell, did not perceive the revelation, which is the light of life (refer to Jn 1:4-5).
