The Book of Revelations Summary

If you would like print these charts I would suggest you copy the charts one at a time (hold your left mouse button down and drag the pointer arrow from the top to bottom of the chart to HIGHLIGHT it, then hold down your bottom left Ctrl Key and the letter "C" key simultaneously to copy what you highlighted) and paste this to your word processor (if you delete the headers and make the chapter designations smaller you can probably get the chart on one page).

REVIEW
Revelation 17-19
 
 

Revelation 17
 

Revelation 18

Revelation 19
 1/7 Bowl Angels: ''Come''
 
Judgment of great harlot
Sits on many waters = peoples, multitudes, nations, tongues
Kings of the earth ->immorality w. her
Earth dwellers drunk w wine of her immorality
 
IN THE SPIRIT => wilderness
Woman sitting on a scarlet beast
Full of blasphemous names (13:1)
7 Heads + 10 Horns (13:1)
 
HER APPEARANCE
Clothed in purple/scarlet/Gold/ pearls
cup full of abominations unclean things of her immorality
Upon her forehead: a mystery:
 
Babylon the great
the mother of harlots
& of
the abominations of the earth
 
 
HER RELATION TO SAINTS:
Drunk with the blood of the saints of the  witnesses of Jesus
 
mystery of the WOMAN &
The BEAST EXPLAINED

(1). BEAST 17:8

Was/ is not/about to come up out of the abyss ------->destruction.

Earth dwellers wonder (name not in book of life)
 
(2) 7 HEADS: 17:9-11
 7Heads = 7 mountains = 7 kings

The WOMAN (=) sits on these
 
5 fallen, 1 is, other has not yet come, & when he comes, he must remain a little while
 
Beast = 8th king = one of the 7 kings  
       =>destruction
 
(3) 10 HORNS: 17:12-14
10 Horns = 10 Kings
Not received a kingdom
Receive authority w. L ONE HOUR
ONE PURPOSE: Give power/authority>L
These wage war against the Lamb... 
Lamb will overcome bc He is Lord of lords & King of kings
With Him: Called, Chosen, Faithful
 
(4) JUDGMENT of the WOMAN
10 Horns + L => will hate harlot
They will make HER desolate, naked, eat flesh, & burn her up w. fire
Because God has put it in their hearts to execute His purpose by having a common purpose
UNTIL WORDS OF GOD SHOULD BE FULFILLED
 
WOMAN = THE GREAT CITY
Reigns over the Kings of the earth
