Does Revelation follow verse after verse, chapter after chapter?
The answer is no! Revelation is divided into three divisions. John was told to "Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter."
(Rev 1:19-20)
1. "The things which thou hast seen." (Rev.1:1-20)
"And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks; And in the midst of the seven candlesticks
one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps
with a golden girdle. His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes
were as a flame of fire; And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his
voice as the sound of many waters. And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth
went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength. And
when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me,
Fear not; I am the first and the last: I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for
evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.Rev 1:12-18
2. "The things which are." (Rev.2-3)
"The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden
candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven candlesticks
which thou sawest are the seven churches." (Rev 1:20-2:1)
3. "The things which shall be herefater." (Rev.4-22)
"After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard
was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee
things which must be hereafter. (i.e. Future) Rev 4:1-2. The "things which shall be herefater" are
divided into two divisions.
a. Chapter four through eleven follows chapter after chapter. (Rev.4:1-11:19)
b. Chapter twelve through twentytwo fills in the details.
- The Rev.12 Woman is protected from the serpent for the same lenght of time as the beast
has to continue. (Rev.13:5)
- Note: The beast has already been revealed in Rev.11:7
- Babylon falls during the time of the beast. (Rev.14:9; 17-19)
- The seven angels with the seven last plagues and vials are poured out on the seat of the
beast. (Rev.15-16)
- Armageddon is the beast making war against Jesis when He returns. (Rev.16:13-17)
- Jesus returns and destroys the beast at His return. (Rev.19:1-21) The Dragon put in
bottoless pit, the beast of false prophet in the lake of fire. Then there is a new jeavens and
a new earth.
In each example they were connected with the beast (antichrist) placing them
in the Tribulation time.
