The Revelation of Jesus Christ
إن هو إلا وحي يوحى
In huwa illa wahyun yooha
53.4 Indeed he is except Revelation that is inspired.
Summary of 53.4:
• John tells us, in the opening verse of Revelation, that the message that he is writing down is a Revelation (apokalupsis)
• A Revelation is something that is revealed, a disclosure of truth, concerning things before unknown
• This Revelation is divinely inspired from Jesus Christ
• Further, the Revelation is signified (semaino) - (which is derived from “sema”, which means “a mark”) by sending through His angel to His slave, John
• 53.4 begins with the particle “in”; “denoting the happening of the second of two events in consequence of the happening of the first, whether the second be immediate or deferred, and whether the condition be affirmation or negative”
• “In” is referencing an event that is the consequence of an event that was previously described in 53.3 – which is John not speaking of his own will
• 53.4 informs us that the second of these two events is that John is speaking due to a Revelation (wahyun) - (i.e. divine inspiration)
• Further confirming the divine inspiration of this Revelation is the usage of the singular, masculine word “yooha”
• “Yooha” confirms that the inspiration comes from a single source
• Surveying all Koranic locations of “yooha” & “yoohee”, overwhelmingly demonstrates that it is used in the context of inspiration from the Lord as revealed through an angel
• Thus, it is becoming increasingly clear that sura 53 is acknowledging the Revelation to John as divinely inspired by the One God Jesus Christ
• Recapping ayahs 1 - 4 in sura 53, we have the following parallels to Revelation:
1. John falls at the feet of Jesus
2. John is the Companion of Jesus
3. John did not die
4. John did not err
5. John speaks not by his own will
6. John received divinely inspired Revelation
7. This Revelation was signified via an angel
8. The Revelation is from Jesus Christ
