Have you ever wondered if Revelation was written in Chronological order? Have you ever gotten lost in Revelation's narrative and wondered when certain events would happen? If so, this book will end the wondering. You will understand that Revelation is a simple book, easy to understand.

This book will take the reader through the times God spoke to me about Revelation. It seemed at the time to be an audible voice. His first words were, as I was reading Daniel 9:27, that I could find the exact midpoint of the 70th week "clearly marked." Next, He said that I could find the entire 70th week "clearly marked" because He would use the same marker. I found what He sent me to find, and that was the beginning of His teaching for me. The 70th week is marked by sevens: the seventh seal begins the week, the seventh trumpet marks the exact midpoint, and the 7th vial ends it. I would know very little about Revelation except for His teaching.

Many people imagine that the first seal is to represent the Antichrist. Is that the intention of the Author? No. Others imagine Jesus will come at the 7th trumpet. That too is not true. Some imagine a post-trib or pre-wrath rapture of the church. Neither one is the truth. Perhaps one of the worst misconceptions is that the rapture is found in Revelation 4:1. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Are any of the seals opened? Yes. When we leave the first seal in its context, we discover it was opened as soon as Jesus ascended. When John was called up to heaven, he was shown a vision. He did not see the throne room of 95 AD or whenever he was called up. What he saw was a vision of the throne room. He saw the Father on the throne, but he did not see Jesus at the right hand of the Father, where many verses tell us He should have been at that time. Stephen saw Him there.

Then John saw the Holy Spirit there in the throne room, but we would expect that at the time John was called up, the Holy Spirit would have long since been sent down to the earth. Finally, John watched a search for one worthy to take the book and open the seals, but that search ended in failure and John wept much. While John was weeping, time passed, and something changed. It seems, another search was conducted after that one failed, and in the subsequent search, Jesus was found worthy. Why was He not found worthy in that first search?

Next, John saw Jesus suddenly appear in the throne room, as a lamb slain. But this slain lamb was standing, showing us that He rose from the Dead. God was showing John in the vision, the throne room of the past. It was around 32 AD when Jesus ascended into the throne room, and God allowed John to see that moment in the vision. Jesus then sent the Holy Spirit down and went immediately to get the book from the Father. He immediately opened the first seal.

No one can find 2000 years in any of those verses. The Father intends that we understand that the first seal was opened as soon as Jesus ascended. What then, was that first seal to represent? The Antichrist? No, that would be 2000 years off.

Many imagine that the 70th Week of Daniel will begin with the first seal. That too is another misconception. If you wish to know the truth of where the Rapture is, and where the "tribulation" is on Revelation's timeline, this book is a must. It is a short book, not quite 100 pages. I highly recommend it!
