Revelation Answer to Question #2

 

2.  Time Line of RevelationWhat is it?

The time line for the Book of Revelation starts at the beginning of the Christian Age ("things which must shortly come to pass," Revelation 1:1). The Book concludes with the end of our age and the establishment of the New Jerusalem on earth when "God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes, and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away" (Revelation 21:4).

Just as Chapters 2 and 3 deal with the seven-stage history of the Christian Church, later Chapters (6-11) reveal the seven-stage history of the church with seven seals and seven trumpets. The historical events fit the prophecies perfectly with the development of the apostasy. The final judgment of the last days is described in Chapters 14-19. And the wonderful Kingdom of Christ and his Bride is in the concluding Chapters 20-22.
