The Book Of Revelation By John When He Was On The Isle Of Patmos

Dale Ralph Davis, a theologian, professor, and pastor wrote a persuasive journal article involving the book of Revelation entitled Relationship Between the Seals, Trumpets, and Bowls in the Book of Revelation. In this article he lays out his thesis as ‘Each of these series of judgments [the Seals, Trumpets, and Bowls] is primarily sequential to the preceding one(s), but that the end of each series is parallel to the end of the other series (i.e., that the sixth and seventh seals, the seventh trumpet, and the seventh bowl are parallel to each other).” He deems this view at the end of his article as a “Successive-Final” view. Davis is taking two views of Revelation, the sequential view, and the parallel view, and joining them together to creative the successive-final view that he and other theologians hold to.

“And I saw in the right hand of Him who sat on the throne a scroll written inside and on the back, sealed with seven seals. Then I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, “Who is worthy to open the scroll and to loose its seals?” Revelation 5:1-2 (New King James Version)

The First Reading: Revelations 7:2-4, 9-14: Then I saw another angel come up from the East, holding the seal of the living God. He cried out in a loud voice to the four angels who were given power to damage the land and the sea, “Do not damage the land or the sea or the trees until we put the seal on the foreheads of the servants of our God.” I heard the number of those who had been marked with the seal, one

Revelation. The word itself is kind of scary. The book of Revelation was written in 95 AD by the apostle John. John was writing to seven different churches in western Asia Minor, Laodicea, Philidelphia, Sardis, Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, and Thyatira. The theme of Revelation is encouragement for believers to stand strong through persecution and also shows believers how the return of Christ will look. The book of Revelation goes into great detail on how the coming of Christ will look and for some that is a frightening thing to even think about but for Believers it should be an encouragement showing that the end will come, so get up and go share Jesus' name.

1The revelation from Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show his servants what must soon take place. He made it known by sending his angel to his servant John, 2who testifies to everything he saw—that is, the word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ. 3Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear it and take to heart what is written in it, because the time is near. – Revelation 1:1-3

John, the proclaimed author of the Book of Revelation, writes intricately about the events that will transpire when the end of the world has come. John expresses messages to seven churches, heaven’s activities, and the Lamb opening seven seals. He depicts the consequences following the sounding of seven trumpets and the pouring of seven bowls. John mentions numerous times that humans will be judged at the throne for their actions. He stresses the penalties of humans who will not proceed to heaven, but will instead die a second death. He describes heaven’s wondrous beauty, and how Jesus himself, promising he will return to Earth soon, verifies that these words are true.

God opened the 7th seal: this seven represents God letting everyone see that Chapter 8 has to do with torture, pain, and the e-s getting cast out of heaven: pains and problems for them in general.

The book of Hebrews was written by a Christian scholar and not by one of the Gospels. I knew that many authors made up the New Testament but I did not know scholars wrote some books a well. Hebrews writer was someone who linked the Hebrew Bible along with Greek philosophy. The writer never identifies himself but his views on the end times were very strong. He assumes that there is an existence of two parallel worlds: the eternal and the perfect realm of spirits. This is something that I have never heard before. This writer is the only person to speak of Jesus as the mediator between God and humanity. He has so much insight on what was happening or what was to happen but we do not know who this person was. Hebrew is written very differently and some of the

So what does the ‘sea’ or ‘water’ prophetically represent? Revelation 17:15 shows that ‘waters’ represent ‘peoples, multitudes, nations and tongues’. With this clue, we know that these beasts in both Daniel and Revelation came up from the densely populated area. What about the beasts? What do they represent? Daniel 7:17,23 clearly shows that ‘beasts’ represents ‘kings or kingdoms’ so we can apply this to both Daniel and Revelation. Without relating Daniel to Revelation and vice versa, the interpretation of these books could be problematic and they could be misinterpreted.

These judgments will serve to punish sin and bring the nation of Israel to repentance. “…the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof… And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets… And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth” (Revelation 5:5, 8:2, 16:1). Each of these groups of seven objects introduces the next, thus, they are connected. The first four of the seven seals are the Apocalyptic horsemen and cause the introduction of the Antichrist, warfare, famine, and plague and more of the second and third, respectfully. The fifth seal talks about the martyrs of Christ who were killed for their faith during the End Times. The sixth seal is God’s justice for the martyrs of the fifth seal, as it causes great natural disasters, mainly an earthquake. The seventh seal reveals the seven trumpets, the next judgment. The result of the first trumpet is hail and fire, the second is a disruption of the oceans, the third affects rivers and lakes, the fourth darkens the sun and moon, the fifth is a plague of locusts, the sixth is the death of a third of the earth, and the seventh calls forth seven angels who have the seven bowls. The first bowl causes sores, the second causes death of all sea-dwelling life forms, the third changes the rivers to blood, the fourth causes the sun to intensify it’s heat, the fifth, darkness, the sixth, the drying of the river Euphrates and the assembling of the Antichrist’s armies, and the seventh causes an additional earthquake with

In chapter 5 of the Book of Revelation, we see Christ enter John’s vision in the form of the slain lamb, a picture of Christ sacrifice (Rev 5:6). In the ‘new song’ of the saints, the lamb is said to have “ransom[ed] for God saints from every tribe and language and people and nation’ (5:9) and, later in the chapter, that “…every creature in heaven and on earth…” now sings praise to the lamb (5:13). These verses speak of God’s victory already having been fulfilled in Christ’s sacrifice in a way that leaves the reader with a vision of the eschatological hope of the Christian faith as being both fulfilled, but yet to be completed, a conception which falls within an inaugurated understanding of eschatology. As such, the ‘end of the world’ in Revelation can be considered as having already occurred in Christ’s death as evil was defeated and the New Creation initiated, while simultaneously not complete as the forces of Satan; the beast, the false prophet, and the harlot, still function in the cosmology of the First Creation. This understanding of the eschatological reality is an important aspect of John’s text, as it is through this that he is able to identify the dangers to the Church as well as encourage and strengthen its faith.

Craft Brewing Goes Public In August 1995, Paul Shipman, the CEO of Alridge Brewing (AB) prepared himself to enter uncharted territory. A craft brewing operation had never before been taken public in the United States, and he and his management team were about to do just that. Sure, there were massive large-batch breweries like Anheuser-Busch and Miller Brewing Company that were profitable, publicly traded firms—but there was something different about Alridge: it embodied the ethos and grassroots beginnings of the microbrew movement, and Shipman was confident that widespread market demand for craft beer was set to explode. He and the team had steadily developed their premium-quality handmade ales for nearly
