1 An Overview of Revelation

2 * Seven golden lampstands * The Throne * The Lion Lamb * The Fallen City * The Holy City

3 Setting the Scene

4 Revelation is world theatre. It is the unveiling of Jesus Christ as Lord of history and current events. It goes beyond history and tells the story from the perspective of the kingdom of God. Dennis Lennon (Encounter with God: S.U.)

5 Seven Golden Lampstands When I turned to see who was speaking to me, I saw seven golden lampstands (1 v 12) The seven lampstands are the seven churches (1 v 20)

6 The Throne And I saw a throne in heaven and someone sitting on it. (4 v 2)

7 The Lion Lamb Look! The Lion of the tribe of Judah, the heir to David’s throne has won the victory. Then I saw a Lamb that looked as if it had been slaughtered (5 v 6)

8 Even before he made the world God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes. Ephesians 1 v 4 God chose him as your ransom long before the world began. (1 Peter 1 v 20)

9 The Fallen City I saw another angel come down from heaven. He gave a mighty shout. Babylon is fallen – that great city is fallen. (18 v 1,2)

10 The Holy City And I saw the Holy City, the New Jerusalem coming down from God out of heaven, like a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. (21 v 1)

11 Saviour, if of Zion’s city, I through grace a member am: Let the world deride or pity, I will glory in Thy Name. Fading is the worldling’s pleasure, all its boasted pomp and show; Solid joys and lasting treasure none but Zion’s children know. (John Newton)
