Listen up, recruits! Revelation 1 is all about Jesus and John. John is on the island of Patmos and is visited by Jesus, who appears to him in a vision. Jesus gives him a message for the churches, telling them to repent, stay strong and faithful, and not be afraid. He tells them that he is the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End, and that he has the keys to death and Hades. He tells them to listen to what he has to say, and he promises to reward them if they do. That's it for Revelation 1. Got it?
