A Look at Revelation -- This Study takes the reader on a journey through the sacred book of Revelation presenting it as a chronological view from the Creator to John His ready scribe of God's plan to transition His creation from the 6000 year rule of man unto the 1000 year rule of God's Son Jesus the Christ and True Messiah. The journey begins with God's evaluation and status of His church midway through the first century. John is told to convey the Creators evaluation through letters to each of these 7 churches give us a snapshot of the status of the church at that time. John is then called into Heaven to witness the opening of the sealed book in the Fathers Right Hand. As Jesus removes each seal John is told to come and see the visualization presented in the Sea of Glass before God's Throne. these images gave John a Preview as to the contents of the sealed book. John is then shown the sealing of all True Believers before the Tribulation begins. the first 4 trumps demonstrate the consequences of the Nuclear War that shall usher in the Tribulation period. ships sunk, fish killed and trees burnt provide the inhabitants of Earth a dramatically altered setting for life on earth. The fifth trump opens the bottomless pit and the beast ascends from the pit to make war in Heaven where he and his fallen angels are kicked out. He descends to earth with his wrath for he knows he only has a short time. The Jews conduct worship for the false messiah in the newly constructed temple, but loose faith in him at the end of his 42 month reign because he could not keep the 2 witnesses dead. The last Trump brings to close the accounting of time as Jesus meets His children in the clouds for the Rapture. God pores out His Wrath on Earth through 7 vials concluding with His return for the battle of Armageddon. Jesus sets up His earthly Kingdom to rule for His Millennial reign followed by the testing of all flesh that survived the wrath and went into the 1000 years. This earth and heavens are destroyed and God created a new heaven and earth for the eternal state.
