There are many ways to divide up the visions in Revelation. In my previous post, I discussed the 4 “great” visions, which are prefaced by “in the Spirit” (Revelation 1:10; 4:2; 17:3, 21:10).
These 7 series of visions appear after the 7 sears are opened and the 7 trumpets are sounded:
- Revelation 12:1-18: A Woman and a Great Red Dragon, introduced by “A great sign appeared”
- Revelation 13:1-10: A Beast from the Sea, introduced by “And I saw”
- Revelation 13:11-18: A Beast from the Land, introduced by “And I saw”
- Revelation 14:1-5: The Lamb Enthroned, introduced by “And I saw”
- Revelation 14:6-13: Three Angels, introduced by “And I saw”
- Revelation 14:14-20: The Son of Man and his Angels, introduced by “And I saw”
- Revelation 15:1: Another Sign in Heaven, introduced by “And I saw”
Another way to divide up the visions is into these 7:
- The heavenly court, the scroll, and its seven seals of judgment (Revelation 4:1-8:1)
- Seven angels with seven trumpets (Revelation 8:2-11:19)
- A woman and a dragon, two beasts, and other figures (Revelation 12-14)
- Seven bowls of wrath (Revelation 15-16)
- The fall of Babylon and the final battle (Revelation 17-19)
- The reign of Christ and the new Jerusalem (Revelation 20-22)
Either way you want to divide up these visions, you are bound to be learning!
