Review John was told to write: The things which you have seen: Rev. 1 John saw Jesus among the 7 churches The things which are: Rev. 2-3 The 7 churches of Asia Rev. 4-22 The things which will take place after these things

“In the Spirit” Segment divisions (different than review) 1:10 Rev. 1-3 Vision of Jesus and His messages to the churches 4:2 Rev. 4-16 Worship in heaven; seals, trumpets and bowls on earth 17:3 Rev. 17-20 Babylon’s fall; Jesus’ coming and judgment on earth 21:10 Rev. 21-22 New heaven, earth and Jerusalem

Revelation 1-3 John was exiled to the island of Patmos BECAUSE of God’s Word and the testimony of Jesus John was in the Spirit and told to write in a book what he saw and send it to the 7 churches in Asia John saw a vision of Jesus walking in the midst of the lampstands/churches, and he wrote the messages he heard for the ANGEL of each of the churches. The angels in the first 3 chapters do not seem to compare to the angels in the coming chapters Are they the same ones??????

Revelation 4-16 Setting: John hears the same voice, like a trumpet, telling him to “Come up here…” He sees the throne in heaven and the worshipers Seals: The Lamb breaks the 7 seals leading to the 7 trumpets Lamb is worthy because of His shed blood 5th Seal Souls of the slain cry for their blood to be avenged on those who dwell on the earth 6th Seal A great earthquake Moon becomes like blood Men cry: “God’s wrath has come”

Revelation 4-16 Rev. 7:14 Those who come out of the great tribulation wash their robes in the blood of the Lamb 7th Seal Earthquake At the end of the seals, there is an earthquake TRUMPETS: 1st Trumpet: Mixture containing blood 2nd Trumpet: 1/3 of sea becomes blood 5th, 6th and 7th Trumpets: woes on earth 6th Trumpet: Plagues of fire, smoke and brimstone 2 Witnesses: Power to turn waters to blood and to strike the earth with every plague

Revelation 4-16 6th Trumpet: Earthquake 1/10 of the city falls 7,000 killed 7th Trumpet: 24 elders say, “God’s wrath came” Earthquake At the end of the trumpets there is an earthquake

Revelation 12 Vs. 10-11 The brethren overcome the devil by the blood of the Lamb, their testimony, and they do not love their lives even when faced with death. This included John, exiled because of his testimony Possibly includes the souls slain (6:10) 12:12 Woe to earth and sea because the devil has come down to you, has great wrath and he knows he only has a short time His wrath against the woman is limited by God The devil’s wrath is no match for The Almighty

Revelation 14 Those who worship the beast and take his mark receive God’s wrath God’s wrath is full strength vs. 10 Men of the 6th seal were not receiving it full strength God’s wrath consists of torment with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and the Lamb. This happens at the judgment of the dead when they are thrown into the lake of fire. Smoke of their torment goes up forever. 20:11-15 Angel throws grapes into the wine press of God’s wrath and blood comes out

Bowls 7 angels are given 7 plagues These are the last God’s wrath is finished in the bowls 7 angels are given the bowls full of God’s wrath by the 4 living creatures No one can enter the temple until the 7 plagues are finished Bowls are poured full strength on the earth, the beast’s kingdom and those who worship him and take his mark Loathsome and malignant sores Sea, rivers and waters become blood The wicked are given blood to drink because they shed the blood of the saints and prophets

Bowls 7th Bowl: Greatest earthquake ever Great city splits into 3 parts Cities of nations fall Babylon is given fierce wrath “Fierce” – This anger is directed against sin with intense opposition and without sin Huge 100 pound hailstones are the plague from the last bowl Plagues are the judgments associated with the seals, trumpets, witnesses and bowls. At the end of the bowls is the greatest earthquake in history

Revelation 17-20 One of the angels that had a bowl said to John: “Come up here….” John is shown the judgment of Babylon 17-18 John is carried away into the wilderness Babylon is drunk with the blood of the saints In one day she receives plagues of pestilence/death, mourning and famine because of her sins Babylon is burned up with fire 18:18 The blood of prophets, saints, and all slain on the earth was found in Babylon 18:24

Revelation 19 Hallelujahs in heaven because of Babylon’s judgment She corrupted the earth, but God avenges the blood of His servants on her The robe of the King of kings and Lord of lords is dipped in blood He treads the wine press of God’s wrath John sees God’s wrath poured out on the earth God’s wrath results in plagues, blood and woes on unrepentant men who shed righteous blood God shakes the earth in His anger

Revelation 21-22 John saw a new heaven and new earth and the New Jerusalem coming out of heaven 21:1, 10 God will live with men 21:3 God makes all things new and gives the water of life. No more death 21:4 Overcomers/conquerors inherit these things 21:7 Overcomers Chapters 2-3 Cowardly receive their part in the lake of fire 21:8 Angel who had the bowls of the 7 last plagues says “Come, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb” Anyone who adds to this prophecy will have plagues in it added to him.
