OBW and Aron.... exactly what I was trying to get at.
John’s opening in Revelation 1
https://biblehub.com/blb/revelation/1.htm
would be a waste of time for members of 6 of the 7 churches (they would be in the wrong position and angle, and have the wrong perspective).
Instead John says the right position is “bondservant”, the right angle is “blessed is anyone who reads and keeps the words in it”, and the right perspective is “grace and peace to you from Him who is and was and is coming and from Jesus Christ His faithful witness who loves us and has released us from our sins”
