TimeLine For Revelation


The Book of Revelation, written by the apostle John, describes his vision of the future and serves as a prophetic message for the end times.

Re 1:11 ….write in a book what you see and send it to the 7 churches which are in Asia

Re 1:19 write the things which you have seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter

The majority of the Book of Revelation relates John's vision of a scroll that is written on both sides and then sealed. This is our timeline for future events.

Re 5:1 and I saw on the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with 7 seals

Re 6:1 and I saw when the lamb opened one of the seals …

These 7 seals are opened in sequential order. After the 7th seal is opened, John sees a vision of seven angels with 7 trumpets. When the last of the trumpets is sounded, John observes how the 7 bowls of the wrath of God are poured on the earth.

When the 7th bowl of wrath is poured, Christ returns to earth with his saints and the Battle of Armageddon starts. This return of Christ is to stay on this earth as the ruling King, in difference to His previous comings.
