REVELATION: MEMORY, OBSERVATION, AND PROPHECY
Revelation 1:19 - Write the things which you have seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter….
MEMORY: THE THINGS WHICH YOU HAVE SEEN!
Rev. 1:20 - The mystery of the seven stars which you saw in My right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven candlesticks which you saw are the seven churches.
OBSERVATION: THE THINGS WHICH ARE!
Rev. 2:1-7 - Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write - I know thy works....
Rev. 2:8-11- And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write - I know thy works....

Rev. 3:14-22 - And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write - I know thy works....
[Note: Those who belong to the Body of Christ, His Church, are supposed to be doing the works of God until He comes for us! This is the last mention of the Church, as Rev. 4:1 is a picture of the Rapture - see also: Jn. 14:1-3; 2 Cor. 5:6-8; 1 Th. 1:10; 4:13-18; 5:9!]
PROPHECY: THE THINGS WHICH SHALL BE HEREAFTER!
CHAPTERS 4-5 - THE THRONE ROOM OF HEAVEN!
Rev. 4:1-2 - After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will show you things which must be hereafter. And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and One sat on the throne.
CHAPTERS 6-18 - THE TRIBULATION: DANIEL'S 70TH WEEK!
Dan. 9:24-27 - Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people (Israel) . . . And he (the future ruler from the Roman Empire) shall confirm the covenant with many for one week (seven years): and in the midst of the week, he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations, he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.
CHAPTERS 6-12 & 14-18 - TWO PERIODS OF THREE AND A HALF YEARS!
Dan. 9:27 - One half week!
Dan.7:25; 12:7; Rev. 12:14 - Time, times, and half a time!
Rev. 11:3; 12:6 - 1,260 days!
Rev. 11:2; 13:5 - 42 months!
[Note: All equal exactly the same; Israel's year was 360 days.]
CHAPTER 13 - THE MID-POINT OF THE TRIBULATION!
Dan. 9:27 - And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.
Mat. 24:14-16 - And this Gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. When you therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso reads this, let him understand): then let those who are in Judaea flee into the mountains....
CHAPTERS 14-18 - THE SECOND HALF OF THE TRIBULATION!
Rev. 13:5-6 - And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme His name, and His tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
CHAPTER 19 - THE SECOND COMING OF JESUS CHRIST!
Rev. 19:11, 14, 16 - And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and He that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He does judge and make war. - - - And the armies which were in heaven followed Him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. - - - And He had on His vesture and on His thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.
CHAPTER 20 - CHRIST'S MILLENNIUM KINGDOM AND JUDGMENT!
Rev. 20:4-6 - And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the Word of God, and who had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy is he that has part in the first resurrection: on such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years.
[Note: See note above under Chapters 2 & 3 - The Church reigns with Christ as well.]
CHAPTERS 21-22 - THE NEW HEAVEN AND NEW EARTH!
Rev. 21:1 - And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
Rev. 22:6 - And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent His angel to show unto his servants the things which must shortly be done.
JESUS IS COMING FOR HIS CHURCH SOON!
TRUST HIM AND SERVE HIM UNTIL THEN!
HE IS WORTHY!
