HOW TO

Rv 1 thru 5: An Introduction:

Rv 1: Introduces us to "The Revelation of Jesus Christ", and then presents us with an overview.

Rv 2 & 3: Is about 'The Church'.

Rv 4: Is about 'God's Throne' being Set'.

Rv 5: Is about 'The Scroll'. It Introduces us to the "One" of all 'mankind' who is "Worthy" to "Open the Seals". This is a person like us, but.. of "Unmatched Holiness".."Divine". This person would have to be Morally Perfect, the complete opposite of 'sin', which had introduced death and total desolation to what once was a "Perfect" "Heaven on Earth".."A Garden of Paradise". This person would have to have been born and lived a life on earth without ever sinning once. Philippians 2:5-11, James 2:10. Someone who had fulfilled the keeping of the Holy Commandments as required by God's law Matthew 5:17-20. He would be therefore "Worthy" to take back "Ownership" (The "Title Deed" of the Earth); and end the reign of evil, its 'Mystery Babylon' system, and "Destroy" the man of sin" possessed by the angelic Satan, the Devil. His Victory would show the Triumph, and the Power of Righteousness over Evil through a mortal man. Colossians 2:12-23 (Only the Righteous "Son of God who became Man could do and has in fact done this. His Name is "Jesus"!) "He" is the only 'Begotten' "Son" of the "Father". "They", "Father, Son" and the "Holy Spirit"* are "One God". There is none other.

Note: "Jesus" Church, "His" "Bride", is inhabited and belongs to the "Holy Spirit"*. Together, we are "His" Church, "The "Body of Christ": Eph 2:8-9, Eph 5:25-32, Colossians 2:6-17

*Do you not know that your 'body' is the "Temple of the "Holy Spirit" who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? For you were bought at a price ["Jesus"Work at the Cross]; therefore Glorify God in your 'body' and in your 'spirit', which are "God's." NKJV 1 Cor 6:19-20, Eph 2:13-22

In Summary: These first five chapters are an overall introduction and consequently have an ordering of their own.

Rv 6-16: 'The Seven Seals':

Scripture has clearly defined the Seals "Numerically". These chapters are “all” in order. The order is 'Mathematically' embedded via the 'Numerical Sequencing of Seven Seals'.

Within the 'Seventh Seal' are 'Seven Trumpets'. Likewise within the 'Seventh Trumpet' are 'Seven Bowls'. This "Literalness" make up the 'Background' or the 'Foundation' of Revelation. Do not confuse this "Literalness" however with "Signs", or "Mysteries".

Mysteries per Amos 4:7 are "Revealed" to "His" Servants. (And indeed they are: See sheet on the "Mysteries of Rv".)

"Signs" include Symbolism sometimes and are more challenging. They are still literal however in the sense of their timing and will require 'Prayerful consideration' and Biblical Context to understand correctly. Commentaries that use Scriptural references can be helpful, but beware of religious bias. Mt 15:8-9 The greatest "Cluster" and most often referred to of these "Signs" are found in the "Sixth Seal Grouping", along with the "Greatest Sign of all"..

The "Sign" of the "Son of Man"! Rv 6:16, Mt 24:30-31, Mk 13:26-27, Lk 21:27-28, 1Jn 3:2-3, Lk 17:30-36 (See NT&RvSigns1).

Seal 1 is perhaps the "Ultimate Lie". That man can achieve "Peace" apart from God is 'Delusion'. This 'false peace maker' unbeknownst to mankind is the "Deceiver".. the Antichrist soon to be inhabited by Satan.. Both of which are created beings.. not God. Those rejecting "Jesus" like Israel did at "Jesus" First Coming will gladly receive this 'antichrist imposter', 'his' 'signs' and 'lying wonders'. This and all the lies previous will bring mankind face to face with the 'Father of Lies' We see 'him' clearly in the 'Fourth Seal'. This Seal 4 is most likely the 'First Woe' as described in Rv 12:12.

Mankind's cry for “Peace” is about to be realized at long last, but not.. till the completion of Daniels 70th Week.. this will be the Final Hour. This is the "Last".. the "Final" Week of 70 Weeks. This is the "Day of God's Wrath and Vengeance" toward "sin'. It will be short.. "He" does not take pleasure in the 'death of the wicked'.. It will be.. "Jesus".. "2nd Coming"!!!

Seal 2 - Anarchy (No Law)

Seal 3 - Famine

Seal 4 - Death

Seal 5 - Martyrdom

Trumpet 5 'Fallen Great Star' Unlocks 'Abyss'. Releases 'Destroyer' & 'Army of Tormentors'.

Trumpet 6 One third of : People Killed, 4 Demons 'Freed': 200,000,000 Army 'Released'.

Rev Chapter 10 - Mighty Angel.. Small Scroll.. No More Tarrying.. Mystery.

Rev Chapter 11 - Nations Allowed to Trample Court 3.5 Years (Yr.). Two Witnesses 3.5 Yr. Ended.

Trumpet 7 Judgment: God's Reign from Heaven Begins to "Reward" & "Destroy".

Note: The Internal Content of Rv 12 & 13 wind up being extra information for the understanding of Revelation when used in context with scripture. Be a Berean. Know His Word, pray and use the Bible as your benchmark.

- Rv 12 had begun with a “Great Sign” in heaven: It represents the Jewish nation getting ready to give birth to the Saviour of the World, "Jesus Christ". The "2nd Sign" reflects the battle begun for the life and souls of God's people and for the 'Title Deed' of the earth. It is the "Great Battle of Good Seed versus Evil Seed". This chapter is an ordered pageant from distant past, till evils end. It has useful information that overlays, key places within the Seven Seals and beyond.

{With Revelation's ordering in mind, Rv 12 &13's “content” seems to have deviated from the norm. Its "Two “Signs” are the "Two “Seeds” and represent the conflict of 'Good' over 'Evil'. The struggle between 'Light' & ''Darkness'. The "Signs" are in order, but there content take on a distinctively different form.}

These “Signs” represent a 'Selah', historical event that takes us all the way back to “Sins” first beginning in what once was a Garden of 'Perfect Peace and Innocence'. There in Genesis 3:15 God had pronounced Judgment on mans 'First' sin... This yeast (“Sin”), had spread through the whole batch of dough (The Hearts of Man). Evil versus Good became a battle between the “Beasts Kingdom” and “God's Kingdom”, and apart from the work of the “Cross”, “Sin” would have won in this 'Final Hour'. But 'No', the battle was won at the “Cross" by the "Will" of the Father Isaiah 53:10 and the obedience of "His" only "Only Begotten "Son" for all those who by "Faith" (Called "Believers") would acknowledge "His” Work, "His" Victory, "His" Resurrection, and Ascension. Isaiah 53, Colossians 2:15-17

God has 'tarried' so that all who would believe in the "Work" of "His" Son "Jesus Christ" could be "Saved", Past, Present & Future.. But also to "Destroy the Works of the Devil", and to complete "His" Covenant with Israel.

- In Rv 13 we see the 'unholy Trinity' of personified evil'. - These two chapters are added information (Inserts), and have their own internal unique ordering that is separate from the Seals.

Rv 17 thru 20:3: Epilogue's (Addendum):

This is simply added information (An Insert) about what has already taken place that applies to Rv16 and before. We see in these verses the Saviour and His Glorious work accomplished, Mystery Babylon destroyed, Satan vanquished for 1000 years, His Bride and Israel safe with Him, and the battle over evil Won!

Rv 20:4 thru Rv 22 Epilogue's (Conclusion):

These chapters are in order and pickup after "Rv16's "Addendum", (Rv 17 through Rv 20:3). "
