John is often
referred to as John the Beloved. In the
Gospel of John, he often refers to himself as “the disciple whom Jesus loved.” John had a close relationship with the Lord
Jesus. He was one of the three that
Jesus chose to be with Him on certain occasions.
(Mark 5:37-Little
girl raised from the dead; Matthew 17:1;
Mark 9:2 Mount of Transfiguration; Mark
14:33-Garden of Gethsemane when Jesus went aside to pray) John was leaning upon Jesus at the Last
Supper. John was at the cross with Mary,
the mother of Jesus and Jesus gave to John the responsibility of taking care of
His mother.
John13:23 Now there was leaning on Jesus’ bosom one
of his disciples, whom Jesus loved.
John 21:7 Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved
saith unto Peter, It is the Lord.John 21:20 Then Peter, turning about, seeth the disciple whom Jesus loved following; which also leaned on his breast at supper, and said, Lord, which is he that betrayeth thee?
John 19:26 When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son!
Daniel was also
called greatly beloved by the angel of God.
Daniel 10:11 And
he said unto me, O Daniel, a man greatly beloved, understand the words
that I speak unto thee, and stand upright: for unto thee am I now sent. And
when he had spoken this word unto me, I stood trembling.
Daniel 10:19 And said, O man greatly beloved, fear
not: peace be unto thee, be strong, yea, be strong. And when he had spoken unto
me, I was strengthened, and said, Let my lord speak; for thou hast strengthened
me.
Both of these men
were given great revelation, especially concerning the end times. It is important to have a very close love
relationship with the Lord Jesus in order to be entrusted with great
revelation. I believe in these last days
God desires to have a close relationship with His people. I believe He also desires to bring revelation
to His people and open to us the mysteries of the kingdom for this hour.
