The above outline is one key, of several, that may unlock the mystery of John's Revelations. If you undertake a sincere project of studying the book, other keys might suggest themselves to you. One thing is guaranteed: only those with spiritual minds, the so-called "spiritually discerned," can ever understand the big picture which this book describes.
ADDITIONAL INFO FOR THE CHART
CHAPTER ONE of Revelations is the Prologue, not shown on the chart. Chapters two and three are John's vision on the island of Patmos, wherein he describes the lampstands, the Son of Man, and the seven stars. Lampstands symbolize the seven churches. Stars symbolize the angels of those churches. This vision is distinct and separate from the vision described in chapters 4 and 5 which is his vision of God's Throne. The seven stars are angels/messengers/ forces which influence the seven church-periods of time. The time-periods are the seven ages which last throughout the kingdom of God, over a period of 12,000 years, from about 2,000 AD until about 14,000 AD. I have plotted each church age as 1,750 years, but those ages might be closer to 1,700 years, and might vary individually and as a total, so these calculations are only approximate.
COLUMN 1: Patmos Vision of the future kingdom of God/Heaven. Rev. 2 & 3. Each church age is about 1,750 years. The descriptions of each church, by John, hint at the nature of that period of time. If you have a copy of the SINE-WAVE DIAGRAM that is available on this web-site, you can correlate the churches with the coming ages during the kingdom of God which is ruled by Christ.
COLUMN 2: Intro to Throne. Rev. 4 & 5. These two chapters introduce the Throne of God. The four Living Beings are four types of minds, Physical, Emotional, Spiritual, and Mental. They are symbolized by the lion (physical), man (emotional), calf (spiritual), and eagle (mental). Those symbols are the four Living Beings of Rev. 4:6 and Ezekiel 4:5, the four seraphs of Isaiah 6:2, the four fixed signs of the Zodiac, and the four brigade emblems of Juda, Reuben, Dan, and Ephraim (today: Royal Britain, Denmark, Germany, & England respectively). Ezekiel's four symbols in the wheels represents the cycles of time. Each Living Being (Mind) is described with six wings which are mental facets such as intuition, survival instinct, perception, rational thought, intelligence, freedom of self, conception, truth, etc. All the mental facets make up the 24 Elders. The seven spirits around the throne are Wisdom, Will, Reverence (fear), Understanding, Power, Knowledge, and Godliness.
COLUMN 3 - SEALS: Rev. 6 & 7. (During age of Pisces) This column plus the columns of Trumpets and Bowls all describe a vision which John saw in Heaven, distinct from column one which was the vision on Patmos. In this column, the first four seals describe four different forces which influence our civilization during the entire age of Pisces. These first four seals are not active at separate periods of time, but simultaneous, during the years from Christ's birth until the end of the age of Pisces, which is somewhere around the year 2000 AD. These influences affect both divine races of Israel and Edom. The symbolism included in these seals is quite full and meaningful. These four symbols are the four faces of the Living Beings of Rev. 4. They are also those of the fixed signs of the zodiac which each inaugurate and define each six-thousand year period of history. SEAL ONE: LION (Leo - fixed sign of zodiac) symbolizes the PHYSICAL mind, possessed by all living creatures from bacteria to fish, birds, animals, and man. Physical mind directs physiological functions of all life on Earth. The kingdom of World begins with Leo, 12,000 years ago from now, symbolizing worldly, material hungers and mastery. SEAL TWO: CALF or BULL (Taurus - fixed sign of zodiac) symbolizes EMOTIONAL mind. The emotional mind is the highest mind possessed by the dark skin races who were created as helpers for Adam. When the Cain or Adam race interbreeds with earth races, the mongrel progeny possesses a portion of the mental-mind (sometimes hybrid individuals with very good minds) which then enables them to relate to us at a basic social level but never permits them equal faculties of full mental mind with the white race. The Sea of emotions has ruled the world for recorded history, the second half of the kingdom of World. So, Sea is the symbol of that Red Horse Seal. SEAL THREE: MAN (Aquarius - fixed sign of zodiac) is the symbol of the Black Horse Seal, being the SPIRITUAL mind that is a flow from God like the water of Rivers. It is during the three ages beginning with Aquarius, that God's Man achieves his spiritual perfection and reunion with the Father. SEAL FOUR: EAGLE (Scorpio - fixed sign of zodiac) symbolizes the MENTAL mind, meaning deductive, rational, logical, and analytical. This type of mind is possessed only by the two races of divine origin, Israel and Edom. Edom possesses only the physical, emotional, and mental minds, but not the spiritual. Edom uses the mental-mind to dominate, manage, and exploit the kingdom of World, of which they, as the body of Satan, are lord. It is Man's rational mind that inaugurates the fall from perfection in lust for the knowledge of good and evil. Sun symbolizes the light of worldly intelligence, just as Dark or Night represent ignorance in Biblical symbolism. SEAL FIVE, with 5th Trumpet, and 5th Bowl describe events between 1848 (1865?) and about 2000 AD, the last "five months" before the end, meaning the last 150 years. The saints beneath God's altar have already been martyred in His service, and they must patiently await the martyrdom of the remainder of the 144,000 Elect before the end can come. The saints are most likely living quiet lives on earth, while wailing and anguishing over the injustice being done to their spiritual kin by the enemy race of Cain/Edom. They are protected and guided by God in a very special way, while being permitted to watch the end-time show but not permitted to interfere. So, they pray continually with their lives. SEAL SIX describes the geophysical disaster of magnetic-field reversal of the planet, which happens every half-cycle (every 12,000 years). SEAL SEVEN is somewhat mystical in that it applies to both the beginning and end of the age of Pisces.
TWO COLUMNS: TRUMPETS FOR ISRAEL. Rev. 8 - 14. (During age of Pisces) While the Seals described major influences which affect both Israel and Edom, Trumpets announce the injustices which Edom perpetrates against Israel by manipulating the forces of those Seals during their kingdom of World. These injustices, and the difficult testing of individuals, serve a great purpose for God's design. The spiritually weak members of Israel will be culled out, while the strong will be strengthened. The overcomers are destined to serve as God's overseers of the kingdom of God as members of the body of Christ which rules with Jesus at its head. They are being prepared for their destiny by centuries of injustice. Jesus taught us the way to respond to the crimes against us, so that we do not lose our Godly natures and become hateful and vengeful. We must go, sometimes to cruel deaths, without negating our Godliness with evil emotions or thoughts. Since I have already noted the symbolism, a reader should have no trouble negotiating his way through these chapters by using the outline in the chart above. Any further interpretation than what I've given will be given by the Holy Spirit to God's race of Israelites who seek the Truth.
TWO COLUMNS: BOWLS OF WRATH FOR EDOM. Rev. 15 - 19. (During age of Pisces) With the understanding of the previous columns, one should easily see how the forces affect the Edomite Jews and the entire race of Cain, to their terrible final demise. An important thing to remember is that God is not exercising whim in the dynamic activities of this play, and their consequences. The forces of the four seals are available throughout all of long term history, during the kingdom of World and of Heaven. During World, Satan, as lord of World, is able to manipulate the forces to his advantage to the extent that Adam/Israel becomes bonded to this World. If Israel did not DESIRE the "good life," nice homes and cars, and worldly luxuries, then he would not be participating in Satan's arena where Satan's Edomite children have a worldly cleverness that we cannot begin to understand. Just like in the fable of "tar baby," when a Christian deals with a Jew he loses. We were warned against it, but we have permitted them into our promised land, and they have taken over our government, our economy, our culture, the media, and have perverted our Godly values until we actually enjoy the entertainment of THEIR culture of sex and violence. A little leaven has leavened the whole loaf, and now we cannot turn our head without confronting more of Satan's culture and wickedness. In the end, it is God's design that the race of Cain, and later of Edom, served God in the testing and strengthening of God's stiff-necked race, so that the "overcomers" will be adequately strengthened and prepared to accept their responsibilities when the vineyard is handed to them to govern.
LAST COLUMN: KINGDOM OF GOD. Rev. 20 - 22. These events take place after Satan is defeated and Christ becomes ruler of the kingdom of God. See the SINE-WAVE DIAGRAM for the layout of the future church ages of the coming kingdom.
The interpretation of the book of John's Revelations has been an unsolved mystery since he wrote them down. I have written a full commentary on the book, including a literal translation from the Greek, which helps in many instances to clear the fog. It is my prayer that only a few special ones ever find this material. Since I cannot control who might access it on the Web, I shall not do any more than provide this scant outline. With prayer and the Holy Spirit, those with spiritual minds might envision insights that I have not imagined. I pray that God might use my work toward that end.
