Introduction:
A QUICK JOURNEY THROUGH REVELATION
John begins by relating the circumstances that led to the writing of this book (1:1–20), then relates special messages given him by Jesus for the seven churches of Asia Minor (2:1–3:22).
Suddenly caught up into heaven, John sees a vision of God Almighty on his throne.
All of Christ’s followers and the heavenly angels are worshiping God (4:1–11).
John watches as God gives a scroll with seven seals to the worthy Lamb, Jesus Christ (5:1–14).
The Lamb begins to open the seals one by one.
As each seal is opened, a new vision appears.
As the first four seals are opened, riders appear on horses of various colors; war, famine, disease, and death are in their paths (6:1–8).
As the fifth seal is opened, John sees those in heaven who have been martyred for their faith in Christ (6:9–11).
A set of contrasting images appears at the opening of the sixth seal.
On one side, there is a huge earthquake, stars fall from the sky, and the sky rolls up like a scroll (6:12–17).
On the other side, multitudes are before the great throne, worshiping and praising God and the Lamb (7:1–17).
Next, the seventh seal is opened (8:1–5), unveiling a series of God’s judgments announced by seven angels with seven trumpets.
The first four angels bring hail, fire, a burning mountain, and a falling star, and the sun and the moon are darkened (8:6–13).
The fifth trumpet announces the coming of locusts with the power to sting (9:1–12).
The sixth trumpet heralds the coming of an army of warriors on horses (9:13–21).
In chapter 10, John is given a little scroll to eat.
Following this, John is commanded to measure the temple of God (11:1–2).
He sees two witnesses, who proclaim God’s judgment on the earth for three and a half years (11:3–14).
Finally, the seventh trumpet sounds, calling the rival forces of good and evil to a decisive battle.
On one side is Satan and his forces; on the other side stands Jesus Christ with his forces (11:15–14:5).
During this battle God reveals the absolute futility of Satan, who knows his time is short (12:12) and who, though he desires power and wants to rule, can only parody God and Christ.
For example, the fatal wound that heals (13:3, 12) is an imitation of the Resurrection, and the mark of the Beast (13:16–18) imitates God’s seal (7:3–4).
In the midst of this call to battle, John sees three angels announcing the final judgment (14:6–13).
Two angels begin to reap this harvest of judgment on the earth (14:14–20).
Following on the heels of these two angels are seven more angels, who pour out God’s judgment on the earth from seven bowls (15:1–16:21).
One of these seven angels reveals to John a vision of a great prostitute called Babylon riding a scarlet beast (17:1–18).
After the defeat of Babylon in chapter 18, a great multitude in heaven shouts praise to God for his mighty victory (19:1–10)— and this is where we stopped.
