Revelation 7:1 “After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds of the earth, so that no wind would blow on the earth or on the sea or on any tree. Rev 7:2 And I saw another angel ascending from the rising of the sun, having the seal of the living God; and he cried out with a loud voice to the four angels to whom it was granted to harm the earth and the sea, Rev 7:3 saying, "Do not harm the earth or the sea or the trees until we have sealed the bond-servants of our God on their foreheads." Rev 7:4 And I heard the number of those who were sealed, one hundred and forty-four thousand sealed from every tribe of the sons of Israel: Rev 7:5 from the tribe of Judah, twelve thousand were sealed, from the tribe of Reuben twelve thousand, from the tribe of Gad twelve thousand, Rev 7:6 from the tribe of Asher twelve thousand, from the tribe of Naphtali twelve thousand, from the tribe of Manasseh twelve thousand, Rev 7:7 from the tribe of Simeon twelve thousand, from the tribe of Levi twelve thousand, from the tribe of Issachar twelve thousand, Rev 7:8 from the tribe of Zebulun twelve thousand, from the tribe of Joseph twelve thousand, from the tribe of Benjamin, twelve thousand were sealed. Rev 7:9 After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could count, from every nation and all tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, and palm branches were in their hands; Rev 7:10 and they cry out with a loud voice, saying, "Salvation to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb." Rev 7:11 And all the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures; and they fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, Rev 7:12 saying, "Amen, blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and might, be to our God forever and ever. Amen." Rev 7:13 Then one of the elders answered, saying to me, "These who are clothed in the white robes, who are they, and where have they come from?" Rev 7:14 I said to him, "My lord, you know." And he said to me, "These are the ones who come out of the great tribulation, and they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. Rev 7:15 "For this reason, they are before the throne of God; and they serve Him day and night in His temple; and He who sits on the throne will spread His tabernacle over them. Rev 7:16 "They will hunger no longer, nor thirst anymore; nor will the sun beat down on them, nor any heat; Rev 7:17 for the Lamb in the center of the throne will be their shepherd, and will guide them to springs of the water of life; and God will wipe every tear from their eyes." NASB |

These are verses showing the history of Israel and the promises made to them. They lead up to the Revelation passage which shows that it is to be taken literally. If you read them and meditate on them and then ask questions about it maybe that would be a good way to study it. I really am new and just getting a feel for studying this way. Again if you read the passages I cited and want to know more you might post those questions and you will get an assortment of views. I hope this helps. | ||||||

(The book of Daniel talks about the Lord and His dealings with the kings of the nations) Dan 4:35 "All the inhabitants of the earth are accounted as nothing, But He does according to His will in the host of heaven And among the inhabitants of earth; And no one can ward off His hand Or say to Him, 'What have You done?' (In this verses it says that the Lord is the one who removes kings and establishes them) Dan 2:21 "It is He who changes the times and the epochs; He removes kings and establishes kings; He gives wisdom to wise men And knowledge to men of understanding. (The account of Nebuchadnezzar - the most powerful earthly ruler at one time shows how the Lord dealt with him) Dan 4:34 "But at the end of that period, I, Nebuchadnezzar, raised my eyes toward heaven and my reason returned to me, and I blessed the Most High and praised and honored Him who lives forever; For His dominion is an everlasting dominion, And His kingdom endures from generation to generation. Dan 4:37 "Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise, exalt and honor the King of heaven, for all His works are true and His ways just, and He is able to humble those who walk in pride." (A word study on the earth will show that the earth is the Lord's)(Reading how God interacted with man in the old testament gives us insight into knowing Him better and what He expects of us)(Seeing how He took care of Daniel gives us hope of how He will take care of us when trouble comes) |

There are some excellent Precept studies on Revelation. In answer to your question about the second death. The first death is physical death which all humans experience. The second death is the death of those who have not trusted the Lord Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour through faith in his death, burial and resurrection. Rom 6:23 "For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." | ||||||
1086 | "judge the living and the dead" | Revelation | Val | 195369 | ||
Do a word study on the Bema Seat of Christ. Other words you could use are judgment, rewards, deeds, and resurrection. Always remember there are two sets of judgments and two sets of resurrection. One for the righteous and one for the wicked. The eternal destiny is not what is being talked about in these judgments but the deeds done in the body. That is why a word study on rewards and deeds will help you understand these. 1 and 2 Corinthians and Romans and of course Revelation has information on this topic. |

1087 | who is the angel in rev.10/1 | Revelation | Val | 199225 | ||
Whenever Jesus Christ appears in Revelation John gives Him an unmistakable title. He is called “the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth” (Rev. 1:5), the son of man (Rev. 1:13), the first and the last (Rev. 1:17), the living One (Rev. 1:18), the Son of God (Rev. 2:18), “He who is holy, who is true” (Rev. 3:7), “the Amen, the faithful and true Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God” (Rev. 3:14), “the Lion that is from the tribe of Judah, the Root of David” (Rev. 5:5), the Lamb (Rev. 6:1, 16; 7:17; 8:1), Faithful and True (Rev. 19:11), the Word of God (Rev. 19:13), and “King of Kings, and Lord of Lords” (Rev. 19:16). It is reasonable to assume that if Christ were the angel in view here He would be distinctly identified - MacArthur, Revelation 1-11 : The MacArthur New Testament Commentary, Rev. 10:1 | ||||||

1089 | Bride and Guests at Lamb's Wedding | Revelation | Val | 199574 | ||
"In Biblical times a marriage involved two major events, the betrothal and the wedding. These were normally separated by a period of time during which the two individuals were considered husband and wife and as such were under the obligations of faithfulness. The wedding began with a procession to the bride's house, which was followed by a return to the house of the groom for the marriage feast. By analogy, the church, espoused to Christ by faith, now awaits the parousia when the heavenly groom will come for his bride and return to heaven for the marriage feast which lasts throughout eternity."

1090 | Bride and Guests at Lamb's Wedding | Revelation | Val | 199810 | ||
Revelation 19:7 (1) Let us rejoice and be glad and give the glory to Him, (2) for the marriage of the Lamb has come and (3) His bride has made herself ready." 1. Let us rejoice and be glad and give the glory to Him; begins the second reason for exaltation. These three actions are warranted in light of God the Father’s next agenda item. 2. For the marriage of the Lamb has come; is the reason for the call to rejoice, be glad and the giving of glory. The wedding of the Lamb is announced. This, of course, is metaphorical. There will be no literal wedding. 3. His bride (wife) has made herself ready; completes the metaphor of a wedding. One would expect the text to refer to a bride (numpha) at this point, but the Greek uses the term guna (wife). "Wife" suggests the wedding is completed. However, in Jewish marriage customs, the betrothed virgin was bond to her husband. The marriage ceremony was a consummation of the legal process begun months and sometime years before. The apostle Paul on two separate occasions spoke of a church relationship to Christ in terms of the bridegroom/bride metaphor. 2 Corinthians 11:2 and Ephesians 5:25-32 both develops different aspects of this concept. It is clear in the Old Testament that Israel is the bride of God (Hos 2:19-20; Ezek 16:8-14; Isa 54:1-6). The emphasis here is on the collective whole—the nation of Israel. One is a part of the bride of God by physical birth—the physical seed of Abraham. However, the bride of Christ is formed by faith—the spiritual seed of Abraham. Contributors - Rev.

1091 | Interpretative Schools? | Rev 1:1 | Val | 204466 | ||
There is considerable disagreement on how the book of the Revelation should be interpreted. Therefore it is strongly recommended that you consider performing your own inductive study prior to consulting a commentary. The single best inductive study in my opinion is the Precept Ministries International 4 part study on the Revelation (see below ). I would also recommend the Precept inductive study on Daniel (Click Daniel 1-6 or Daniel 7-12) (Click here for links to commentaries on Daniel) because the truths in the book of the Revelation have their foundation in the prophesy in Daniel. To state it another way, a full understanding of the book of the Revelation is impossible without an accurate understanding of the book of Daniel. Before you consult any commentary, it is important to recognize that there are four schools of interpretation of the Revelation and it is critical to know which view the commentary you are consulting espouses. Even more important is that you have a good foundation from your own inductive study before you consult even the most respected commentary, otherwise you will almost certainly be confused by the wide diversity of interpretations of the same passage! The four views of interpretation are summarized in the following chart (see also Bibliography). Preterist More detail Preterist (from Latin praeter meaning "past") holds that through use of symbols and allegory, the Revelation deals with events that were fulfilled in John's time and that it was written primarily to provide hope and comfort to the first century church persecuted by Rome. For example, this view interprets the beasts of (Revelation 13 [note]) as imperial Rome and the imperial priesthood. The preterist view is held by many modern scholars, especially liberals and those who deny that the Revelation predicts specific future events. Historicist More detail Views the Revelation as a symbolic or allegorical prophetic survey of church history from the first century up to the Second Coming of Christ and was the view espoused by most of the "reformers" and thus dominated Protestant though for centuries. This view however has been largely discounted as it does not adequately address the prophesy in the Revelation. The discerning reader needs to be aware that the historicist view is reflected in most of the "older" commentaries (many of which are public domain works easily accessible on the internet) including the works of John Knox, Martin Luther, John Calvin, John Wesley, Jonathan Edwards, George Whitefield, C. H. Spurgeon, Matthew Henry, Adam Clarke and Albert Barnes. Unless you understand their historicist approach to prophesy, you may become very confused when reading these older "classic" commentaries. Note that with the exception of Spurgeon, these works are not included in the list of resources. It is also important to realize that many of these "classic" commentaries tend to treat many of the promises to Israel as now having their primary application to the church, and this view is firmly disavowed by this website (see discussion of The Israel of God). An example of a historicist interpretation is the belief that the strong angel of Rev 10 symbolizes the Reformation and that the harlot in Rev 17 represents the Roman Catholic church, an interpretation that the plain reading of the text simply does not allow. Idealist More detail Maintains that Revelation is not predictive prophecy, but a symbolic portrait of the cosmic conflict between the forces of good and evil. In this view the Revelation becomes merely a collection of stories designed to teach spiritual truth. Some refer to this method of interpretation as "Spiritual". Futurist More detail A literal reading of prophecy will primarily produce a "futurist" interpretation. Thus futurists interpret Revelation 4-22 as predictive of future end time historical events preceding, during and after the return of Jesus Christ, the establishment of His 1000 year (thus futurist are usually "premillennial". Amillennialists spiritualize the 1000 years and postmillennialists spiritualize the resurrection which precedes it), millennial kingdom on earth, followed by the creation of a new heaven and new earth. Variations of this view were held by the earliest expositors, such as Justin Martyr (d. 164), Irenaeus (d. c. 195), et al. This futurist approach has enjoyed a revival since the 19th century and is widely held among evangelicals today. Note that most of the resource links listed below take a futuristic approach to interpret the Revelation.

Continued The interpretative approach taken by this website regarding Revelation 4-22 is that these passages describe literal people, places and events that will be fulfilled in the future. As someone has well said "If the plain sense makes good sense seek no other sense lest it result in nonsense." Most of the resources on this page are espouse the futuristic view, but this fact does not necessarily mean that we agree with every comment in all of the resources. The wide divergence of interpretative views makes it imperative that the reader of the Revelation be a "true blue" Berean (Acts 17:11) and perform his or her own inductive study prior to consulting any commentary, tape set, web site or sermon, lest he or she become mired down in confusing rhetoric and specious speculation. The Revelation of Jesus Christ was written to edify, equip, encourage and bless God's children, not to hopelessly confuse or divide them. Maranatha! Preceptaustin.org |

Hello Thomas, if you go to Preceptaustin.org and choose Revelation from the drop down menu you will see Kay Arthur's entire Revelation series. She gives the timeline according to a literal reading of scripture using common grammar rules I believe. It is my understanding of Revelation that the church may be raptured at any time. When that occurs it will start the day of the Lord, a time of tribulation, seven years. At the end of the seven years there will be a 1,000 year reign of Christ on earth. To get the full in-depth study there are four parts. Each one a seperate Precept Upon Precept Study. Blessings, Val | ||||||
1096 | Have any of the end time profacies came | Rev 1:3 | Val | 203295 | ||
I believe, and it is my opinion, that the next event on the prophetic calendar is the rapture of the church. This will begin a series of events called the Day of the Lord. Christ came as a babe in a manger to save us the first time. Christ will come again. This next time to judge us. Hope this helps. Rev 1:7 BEHOLD, HE IS COMING WITH THE CLOUDS, and every eye will see Him, even those who pierced Him; and all the tribes of the earth will mourn over Him. So it is to be. Amen. |

The Lord Jesus called himself I AM. Going back to Exodus 3:14 God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM”; and He said, “Thus you shall say to the sons of Israel, “I AM has sent me to you.” John 8:58 Jesus replied, I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, before Abraham was born, I AM. [Exod. 3:14.] John 13:19 “From now on I am telling you before it comes to pass, so that when it does occur, you may believe that I am He (I AM) Luke 22:70 And they all said, You are the Son of God, then? And He said to them, It is just as you say; I AM. John 12:45 “He who sees Me sees the One who sent Me. John 14:9 Jesus replied, Have I been with all of you for so long a time, and do you not recognize and know Me yet, Philip? Anyone who has seen Me has seen the Father. How can you say then, Show us the Father? |
