The Book Of Revelation

This . . .
I ran two miles in 33 minutes tonight.
OK, I didn't run . . . I jogged.
OK, I didn't jog . . . I walked mostly and limped a little faster some.
In 1970, with two good knees, 80 lbs. lighter and 38 years younger, I ran two miles in 9:20.
I'm only 23 minutes and 40 seconds from doing it again.

That . . .
The book of Revelation is Jesus' battleplan to drive evil off of the earth.
It is a prayer manual for the end time church.
Jesus is giving this information to the church, so that we can know what is coming
and join with Him thru prayer to declare it and bring it forth
just like Moses declared the plagues in God's plan to set His people free.
Revelation is the script Jesus will work from
together with the Church to confront and remove evil from the earth.
We must know and understand the script.
.
This is That . . .

The book of Revelation has four main sections.
1. (Rev. 1) The calling of John to prophecy about the end times.
2. (Rev. 2-3) Seven letters to the seven churches, highlighting the issues that face the church.
3. (Rev. 4-5) Jesus takes the scroll and accepts responsibility to execute the action plan to drive evil from the earth
4. (Rev. 6 thru 22) The end of the age battle plan of action.
.
The end of the age battle plan has five chronological sections along with angelic explanations.
1. The opening and release of the seals.
Angelic Explanation: The angel tells John that protection will be given to the church during the release of the seals, both from judgement and from compromise.
2. The release of the trumpet judements (more intense than the seals, ie increasing)
Angelic Exlanation: The angel pulls John aside and tell him, don't worry, you will receive prophetic direction during this time. You won't be confused and you won't be deceived.
3. The second coming of Christ and the announcement that all the leaders of the nations are going to be replaced.
Angelic Explanation: The anti-christ and the powers of darkness have been confronting Jesus, his plans and his people and the time has come to remove this evil from the earth.
4. The release of the bowls of wrath which are even more intense than the seals and the trumpets. The bowls of wrath "dash the nations".
John asks, why so severe?
Angelic Explanation: Because the seduction of the harlot religion has infiltrated every level of society and so everything that has been built on iniquity has to be brought down - dashed.
5. Jesus' triumphant entry into Jerusalem. He is received by the Jewish nation, He sits on his throne of glory and is King of Kings.
Angelic Explanation: The restoration of the Garden of Eden is coming back to earth. Heaven is coming to earth and all the promises of God will be fully released.
