Bible Note: Hi Tim, The things which you have seen - this would be John's first vision, correct? The things which are - this does not refer to a vision, but rather to what is happening contemporary to John. The things which will take place after these things - the phrase in question: We're looking at this in one of two ways, either "write the things which will take place after these visions" or "write the things which will take place after these things that are now". Four times "things" appears in this sentence. The first three, I think we agree, refer to the contents of the visions. Do we have any reason to think that the fourth does not as well? If we take the plainest, simplest meaning, for lack of any reason to think otherwise, then we must see this as a progression of events. So I would say, yes, it could describe the order of the vision, but I don't see any reason why it would. And when combined with vs. such as 4:1 and 7:1, this conclusion seems inescapable. I find texual cues throughout this book indicating a linear flow of events. Do you see any that show overlapping or rearranging of events? Love in Christ, Mark |
