4. What did a voice from heaven sound like – 14:2? Explain the symbols? Are the sounds
literal? Proof? From chapter 10 through chapter 15, we have a parenthetical section of Revelation. It is not chronological; it doesn’t flow in sequential order. This parenthetical section is a pause, which goes in depth into people, events and things that will happen during the tribulation. Some of these things go back, some go forward. But these parenthetical sections give us in-depth information. When we have a parenthesis in a sentence, it is where we fill in information.
