Revelation Sunday School Part 1
The book of Revelation has Biblical Scholars, the world and even secular resources are confused and wondering what everything means in this book.
Genre
There are many different genres that surround the book of Revelation.
There is the same terms and Author done that is used in the other Johannine Literatures that we have covered previously.
However, It is Apocalyptic Prophesy.
Style of writing
The book of Revelations has styles of writing borrowed from portions of old testament books like Ezekiel, Daniel, Zechariah.[1]
Date
Location
Author
So now that we know that there is some old Testament rooted.
We dive into the timing of the writing of the Book of Revelation.
The Author is identified as his servant John in Verse 1 of the Book.
The divine Author sent an angel to John to be the Human Author.
John is on the island of Patmos making big rocks into small rocks.
The reason why John was sent to the island is to attempt to stop him from spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
The timing of the Writing of this I believe is in the end of his life when he is an old man around 85-95 A.D.
John Receives visions of these events and then writes them to communicate what is happening in the future to the seven churches of Asia.
The seven churches that he is referring to are “Ephesus, and to Smyrna, and to Pergamum, and to Thyatira, and to Sardis, and to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea."[3]
Outline
a) Prologue
1) The Books own introduction to itself ()
a) Seven churches which we look back into John we see that these are the churches of the Postal route in which letters were transported.
Scripture is repeating itself and showing importance.
Just like how my wife repeats things that are important and not something that I should forget or not remember.
b) 1st Ephesus {}
i) 2nd Smyrna (SMER na}{}
ii) 3rd Pergamum {}
iii) 4th Thyatira {}
iv) 5th Sardis {}
v) 6th Philadelphia {}
vi) 7th Laodicea {}
c) Seven Scenes in Heaven
i) 1st The elders around the Throne {}
God is showing John what is in store for his children that are believers.
God shows John the Golden pearly Gates that we all in vision.
John was given something that was only granted to the Apostle Paul, but he can tell others through chapter 4 and chapter 5 of the splendors of this awesome place.
There are 24 elders with white robes and gold crowns and they are seven lamps which represents the seven spirits of God.
(Lord, wisdom, understanding , counsel , power, knowledge and fear of the lord)
ii) The four living creatures ()
(ESV)
7 the first living creature like a lion, the second living creature like an ox, the third living creature with the face of a man, and the fourth living creature like an eagle in flight.
8 And the four living creatures, each of them with six wings, are full of eyes all around and within, and day and night they never cease to say,
“Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God Almighty,
who was and is and is to come!”
The Four living creatures were of a Lion, Calf, Creature that had a face of a man and then a flying eagle.
These animals that God has picked have a significant meaning.
The lion is a creature that shows strength and power
The calf is demonstrating that these beings are rendering humble service to God.
The creature with a face of a man shows that they are rational beings.
And the fourth the flying eagle shows that they fulfill the service to God with the swiftness of eagles wings.

iii) The sealed scroll ()
(1) The Seals of the Scroll is something that is not new and ties back to how the Romans would seal their wills seven times to prevent someone that should not be looking at it get into it.
That is one way to prevent unauthorized use.
Additionally, the higher the amount of seals with the Hebrews who did the same thing meant that it was of more importance.
More witnesses and more seals.
iv) The worthy lamb ()
(1) The Lamb is something that was used in the old testament but is making a way back.
The lamb was used in the Passover, but it also signifies Jesus whom blood whipped away our sins.
(2) The seven spirits of God are sent out into all the earth and are mentioned previously in Chapter 4.
v) Song of the creatures and Elders ()
(1) The 24 elders fell down with a harp and a golden bowl of incense.
This relates back to Old Testament rituals.
(2) Next we have heavenly song that is showing God Redemption.
Everything that is going on is going back to Jesus on the Cross and how The blood of Jesus has washed away our sins.
Without, understanding and keeping this paramount and the focal point we lose one of the most essential parts of doctrine that God wants us to keep in focus.
vi) Song of the angels ()
(1) After the song that opens the seals in verse 9 of Chapter 5 we have the angels that are singing and it is a sound that is so joyous.
In verse 12 John states that there are 10,000 times 10,000 and thousands and thousands.
This is meaning a number that John is stating is something you cannot count and the Greek expression is innumerable.
This is the point where your calculator would say error 0001
(2) Everything goes back to Jesus and it is our job to be the slaves to God.
He paid a price that cannot be figured out or even counted.
He is our slave owner but also our father who guides and cherishes us.
He encourages us but also corrects us when we need to change our ways.
vii) Song of the universe ()
(1) All the creatures and the elders are falling down to worship God.
The elders continue to do this forever because they live forever.
He demands our praise but it is not something that is not unrighteous since he paid the price of the lamb who was slaughtered who was Jesus.
2) Times of Tribulation () { 7 years}
(1) The seals that were broken releases the seven trumpets that contained the seven bowls.
Each of these seals is a form of really intense judgement and is the Great Tribution.
b) Seven Seals
i) 1st seal – White horse of earthly conquest and dominion ()
(1) First seal is opened a white horse which significates peace but a false sense of peace.
This is the start of false prophets, messiahs and the anti-Christ.
ii) 2nd seal-Red horse of slaughter and bloodshed ()
(1) There is a second horse that is released that is bright red and is showing the wages of war.
This is just the beginning of God’s Wrath.
iii) 3rd seal-Black horse of commerce and economic crisis ()
(1) The war that started in the 2nd seal has caused a shortage of food and a famine.
This is nothing compared to what we hear about in Africa and will lead to fighting for food and images that we have seen in movies.
(2) The mention of oil and wine is meaning that these items that seem normal and everyday will seem to be like your fancy steak that you get from the steak house.
It will be rare and something that will happen never.
The key basically is that it will not be the norm and the people during this time will have low nutrients of food.
iv) 4th seal- pale horse of death ()
(1) This pale horse has the Authority by God to bring death to 25 percent of the world.
v) 5th seal- the little while ()
