Analysing the flow of the Chapters in Revelation
Rev 8 : ‘When he [Jesus] opened the 7th Seal,. and to them
[angels] were given 7 Trumpets..’
Rev 4-8 : John was before the throne in Heaven [John was
in the Spirit (Rev 4:2). And he watched Jesus opened the 7
Seals. He saw the 144,000 who were sealed (Rev 7:4)]
Rev 10-11 : John was apparently back on earth
Rev 10 : ‘Then I [John] saw .. angel coming down from
heaven … ‘Then the angel.. standing on the sea
and on the land raised his hand to heaven… So I
went to the angel... ‘
Rev 11 : ‘..I was given a reed .. And was told, “Go and
measure the temple of God .. on the holy city
[Jerusalem]..’
Rev 12-16 : John was in heaven
Rev 12 : ‘A great and wondrous sign appeared in heaven..’
Rev 14 : ‘..there before me was the Lamb..with.. 144,000..’
Rev 15 : ‘I saw in heaven…the 7 last plagues [bowls]..’
How many times was John
before the Throne in heaven ?
Apparent Contradiction in Bible if Prophetic Events taken sequentially
Rev 11 - The Seventh Trumpet
15 The seventh angel sounded his trumpet,.. :
“The kingdom of the world has become
the kingdom of our Lord and of his Messiah, and
he will reign for ever and ever.”…
19 Then God’s temple in heaven was opened, and
within his temple was seen the ark of his covenant.
And there came flashes of lightning, rumblings,
peals of thunder, an earthquake and a severe
hailstorm.
Rev 13 – The Two Beasts
[2nd Beast ] exercised all authority.. caused all who
refused to worship the image to be killed.. forced
everyone.. to receive a mark..’
Rev 16 – Release of 7 Bowls
10 The fifth angel poured out his bowl on the throne
of the beast, and its kingdom was plunged into
darkness…
17 The seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air,
and out of the temple came a loud voice from the
throne, saying, “It is done!” 18 Then there came
flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder
and a severe earthquake. No earthquake like it has
ever occurred since man has been on earth,..

the sun shall be darkened in his going forth,
and the moon shall not cause her light to shine.
And I will punish the world for their evil, and
the wicked for their iniquity; … Therefore I
will shake the heavens, and the earth shall
remove out of her place, in the wrath of the

the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard
the second living creature say, “Come!” 4 Then
another horse came out, a fiery red one. Its rider
was given power to take peace from the earth and
to make people kill each other. To him was given a
large sword.
the Lamb opened the third seal, .. and there
before me was a black horse! Its rider was holding a
pair of scales in his hand. 6 Then I heard what
sounded like a voice among the four living
creatures, saying, “Two pounds of wheat for a day’s
wages, and six pounds of barley for a day’s wages,
and do not damage the oil and the wine!”

“‘the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not

heavenly bodies will be shaken.

heaven. And then all the peoples of the earth will
mourn when they see the Son of Man coming on the
clouds of heaven, with power and great glory. 31 And
he will send his angels with a loud trumpet call, and
they will gather his elect from the four winds, from
one end of the heavens to the other.”

anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of
the sea. 26 People will faint from terror,
apprehensive of what is coming on the world, for
the heavenly bodies will be shaken… 28 When these
things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your
heads, because your redemption is drawing near.”]

There was a great earthquake. The sun
turned black like sackcloth made of goat
hair, the whole moon turned blood red,
13 and the stars in the sky fell to earth, as
figs drop from a fig tree when shaken by a
strong wind. 14 The heavens receded like a
scroll being rolled up, and every mountain
and island was removed from its place.
15 Then the kings of the earth, the princes,
the generals, the rich, the mighty, and
everyone else, both slave and free, hid in
caves and among the rocks of the
mountains. 16 They [the people] called to
the mountains and the rocks, “Fall on us
and hide us from the face of him who sits
on the throne and from the wrath of the
Lamb! 17 For the great day of their wrath
has come, and who can withstand it?”

sign of the Son of Man in heaven. And then all
the peoples of the earth will mourn when they
see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of
heaven, with power and great glory. 31 And he
will send his angels with a loud trumpet call,
and they will gather his elect from the four
winds, from one end of the heavens to the
other.”
12 揭开第六印的时候,我又看见地大
震动,日头变黑像毛布,满月变红像
血, 13 天上的星辰坠落于地,如同
无花果树被大风摇动落下未熟的果子
一样。 14 天就挪移,好像书卷被卷
起来,山岭海岛都被挪移,离开本位。
15 地上的君王、臣宰、将军、富户、
壮士和一切为奴的、自主的,都藏在
山洞和岩石穴里, 16 向山和岩石说:
“倒在我们身上吧!把我们藏起来,
躲避坐宝座者的面目和羔羊的愤
怒, 17 因为他们愤怒的大日到了,谁
能站得住呢?” 12 I watched as he
opened the sixth seal. There was a
great earthquake. The sun turned
black like sackcloth made of goat hair,
the whole moon turned blood red,
13 and the stars in the sky fell to earth,
as figs drop from a fig tree when
shaken by a strong wind. 14 The
heavens receded like a scroll being
rolled up, and every mountain and
island was removed from its place.
太 Matt 24 可 Mark 13 / 路 Luke 21
启示录 Rev 6
路21:25 日、月、星辰要显出异兆,
地上的邦国也有困苦,因海中波浪
的响声就慌慌不定。 26 天势都要震
动,人想起那将要临到世界的事,
就都吓得魂不附体。 27 那时,他们
要看见人子有能力、有大荣耀驾云
降临。 28 一有这些事,你们就当挺
身昂首,因为你们得赎的日子近
了。”
15 地上的君王、臣宰、将军、富
户、壮士和一切为奴的、自主的,
都藏在山洞和岩石穴里, 16 向山
和岩石说:“倒在我们身上吧!把
我们藏起来,躲避坐宝座者的面目
和羔羊的愤怒, 17 因为他们愤怒
的大日到了,谁能站得住呢?”
15 Then the kings of the earth, the
princes, the generals, the rich, the
mighty, and everyone else, both
slave and free, hid in caves and
among the rocks of the mountains.
16 They [the people] called to the
mountains and the rocks, “Fall on
us and hide us from the face of him
who sits on the throne and from the
wrath of the Lamb! 17 For the great
day of their wrath has come, and
who can withstand it?”
Interpretation of Sequence of Events based on Matt 24, Mark 13, Luke 21 & Rev 6
有好些人冒我的名来,说:‘我是基
督’,并且要迷惑许多人。 Many will
come in Jesus’ name, claiming, ‘I am the
Messiah,’ and will deceive many.
(第一印) 有一匹白马。骑在马上的拿着
弓,并有冠冕赐给他,他便出来,胜了
又要胜。
[1st Seal] : There’s a rider (false Christ)
on a white horse, given a crown &
holding a bow. He is out to conquer in
the name of peace.
第三印 - 有一匹黑马。骑在马上的手里
拿着天平。有声音说:“一钱银子买一
升麦子,一钱银子买三升大麦,油和酒
不可糟蹋。”[3rd Seal] : Black horse
with its rider holding a pair of scales in
his hand. A voice saying, “Two pounds
of wheat for a day’s wages, and six
pounds of barley for a day’s wages, and
do not damage the oil and the wine!”
(Hyperinflation & collapse of global
financial system ?)
揭开第二印,另有一匹红马出来,有
权柄给了那骑马的,可以从地上夺去
太平,使人彼此相杀,又有一把大刀
赐给他。民要攻打民,国要攻打国。
[2nd Seal] : Fiery red horse and its
rider was given power to take peace
from the earth and to make people kill
each other. Wars and uprisings and
Nation will rise against nation, and
kingdom against kingdom.
地大震动,多处必有饥荒、瘟疫,又
有可怕的异象和大神迹从天上显现。
Great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in
various places, and fearful events and great signs
第四印 - 有一匹灰马。骑在
马上的名字叫做“死”,用刀剑、饥
荒、瘟疫、野兽杀害四分之一的人。
from heaven.
[4th Seal] : Pale horse and its rider was named
Death, and Hades was following close behind him.
A fourth of the earth killed by the sword (war),
famine and plague,
Interpretation of Sequence of Events based on Matt 24, Mark 13, Luke 21 & Rev 6
选民陷在患难里,也要被杀害,被万民
恨恶。The elect will be handed over to
be persecuted and put to death. They’ll
be hated by all nations because of Jesus.
第五印 - 为神的道并作见证被杀之人的
灵魂, 有白衣赐给他们各人, 他们还要
安息片时,等着被提。[5th Seal] : Souls
of those who had been slain because of
the word of God and the testimony they
had maintained. Then each of them was
given a white robe, and they were told to
wait a little longer,..(for the rapture)
耶路撒冷被兵围困,成荒场的日子
近了。耶路撒冷要被外邦人践踏,
直到外邦人的日期满了。
Jerusalem being surrounded by
armies and standing in the holy
place is the abomination that
causes desolation - where it does
not belong, (then the end is near).
Jerusalem will be trampled on by
the Gentiles until the times of the
Gentiles are fulfilled.
第六印 - 地大震动,日头变黑像毛布,满月变红像
血,天上的星辰坠落于地,天挪移,好像书卷被卷
起来,山岭海岛都被挪移,离开本位。
[6th Seal] : There’s a great earthquake (supervolcano
eruption). The sun turned black like sackcloth made
of goat hair, the whole moon turned blood red, and
the stars in the sky fell to earth. The heavens recedes
like a scroll being rolled up, and every mountain and
island removed from their places.
根据太24,可13,路21 和 启6,分析事件的程序
Interpretation of Sequence of Events based on
Matt 24, Mark 13, Luke 21 & Rev 6
你们看见这一切的事,也该知道人
子近了,正在门口了。When these
things begin to take place, stand up
and lift up your heads, because
your redemption is drawing near..
(被提)要看见人子有能力、有大荣
耀驾云降临。用号筒的大声,将他
的选民从四方,从天这边到天那边,
都招聚了来。 (Rapture) : People
will see the Son of Man coming in
clouds with great power and glory.
27 And he will send his angels with
a loud trumpet call, and they will
gather his elect from the four
winds, from the ends of the earth to
the ends of the heavens.
