       The fact that John saw this with his own eyes, in some manner, could fulfill what we already referred to as pertains to John being alive until Jesus’ second coming. If he’s not still on earth today, he was around, in a sense for it due to the fact he saw the vision of the Revelation. Quickly, and before we hit the water, let's ruminate on three more things. The most interesting, and one fact that is applicable to us, is that John will record famous passages about Jesus' discussion in regard to the Holy Spirit—the Third Person of the Trinity. Indeed, some of the most famous passages regarding him come to us in the form of John's Gospel. Particularly, we note chapters 14 to 16. It is in chapter 14 that we first learn, for instance, that the Holy Spirit is our helper as believers. A second point of note, and this contrasts interestingly with what was just discussed, are some head-scratching absences.
