Verse 3 is found in chapter 1 of Revelation. The prologue presents Revelation as a disclosure of Jesus Christ communicated to John to show his servants what must take place. The expression "revelation" indicates that the fundamental purpose of the book is to unveil a reality that remains hidden from ordinary perception. The text also declares blessed the one who reads, hears, and keeps the words of this prophecy, showing that the work is not merely intended to satisfy curiosity about the future, but to form a community capable of persevering in obedience. The nearness of the announced events gives urgency to the message.
