OUTLINE OF THE BOOK OF REVELATION
Chapter 1 is an Introduction by the Apostle John. He lays out his credentials and background before he shares what God commissioned him to do, which he tells us in chapter 1:19:
“Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter”
The Book of Revelation is laid out in that format:
“the things which thou hast seen”
His Vision of Christ
“and the things which are”
Letters to the seven churches
“the things which shall be hereafter”
The Rapture of the Saints has taken place.
Glorious view before the throne of God!
