THE KEY TO THE TIME LINE
OF BOOK OF REVELATION!
Revelation 1:18 -20 - I AM He Who lives, and was dead; and, behold, I AM alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death. Write the things which you have seen (the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus), and the things which are (the time following His Ascension), and the things which shall be hereafter (the Rapture, Tribulation, the Second Coming, and the Kingdom Age); 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.
Note: John's vision reveals that he was living during the Church Age, and had seen all seven of the periods represented by the individual churches. The last of the seventh church period was to be described as an apostate church operating without Jesus. Notice He is standing outside knocking to be invited in (Ch. 3:20). It is the church period in which we live today. Chapters Two and Three are focused upon the churches, and are not mentioned during the description of seven-year Tribulation (Ch. 6 - 18) nor during the Second Coming and the 1000 year Millennial Kingdom of the Lord (Ch, 19 -20). That is why many students of Bible Prophecy see John being called to "come up hither" (Ch. 4:1) as a picture of the Rapture of the true Church (See Ch. 3:10).
TIME IS RUNNING OUT;
PUT YOUR FAITH IN JESUS;
LIKE IN THE DAYS OF NOAH AND LOT,
HE HAS HAD ABOUT ENOUGH!
