The Unveiling

Over the next few days I am going to present my study on the book of Revelations. Before we begin our study in Revelation there is one thing we must remember that is very important. Revelation was given to John in visions as prophecies that had their beginnings in the Old Testament, being fulfilled in the New Testament and yet much to be fulfilled in future events before the great and terrible day of the Lords return.

I've never literally counted how many, but they are numerous. If you read the book of Revelation you will read every vision that John was given by the angel Jesus sent to him.

 

[dwb001]

Only one as far as I can count.

I can't point them all out to you, but to say John said "then the angle showed me"

Different perspective, same vision.
Otherwise it would state the end and beginning of visions as per Daniel, etc.

All one vision....

All one vision....

Can you explain why you see all the visions John was given as only being one vision?

All one vision....

If I may . It is almost as if John is being shown a movie with many different locations where it was filmed and the movie is like no other in that it is interactive . One continuous vision with many scene changes . The chapters give us breaks that may have not been in the original writing .
for_his_glory what do you think ?

Thanks
