Bible Note: Hi Kalos, Certainly this is true. While I disagree somewhat on the particular divisions of narrative and interlude, for instance I understand that sealing of the 144,000 and the innumerable multitude are part of the sequential narrative, clearly John's experience with the angel and the little book are not, as well as other portions. I always look for specific textual cues to let me know how to outline this book, and I find it is quite specific. We cannot have a correct understanding of this revelation unless we understand how these parenthetical passages fit. Love in Christ, Mark |
