Rev. 15 has more than one set of plagues in it.
there are
the seven last plagues
then in a new vision - the seven plagues
then one of the four beasts/in the east - gives them
seven full vials - so seven more plagues
Only the seven plagues of the seven angels that they left
the temple with have to end before men can enter into
the temple in heaven.
Rev. 16 has not been seen yet - it is not the same set of
seven plagues.
plus Rev. 21 refers to the seven last plagues
/that is the third set of seven
See how after the plagues end God remembers Babylon's
sins again. When God remembers sin - then punishment follows.
Rev. 18 - double unto her
Hello brother, it very well could be that way, but from reading the entire verse, I think it is referring to the Tares being Bound, in other words they are Bound to be judged. Now that might sound dicey until we read the entire verse, what are all the clues pointing toward ? And the Nations are angry, because Gods Wrath has come, well we know the Seven Vials are Gods Wrath. Then we see that Gods Prophets and Saints will be Rewarded, we know God is not going to wait 1000 years to reward his faithful servants, and at last we destroy (slay) those that destroy the earth (via sin). I am not saying there is no chance of your understanding not being correct, I am just saying that if we weigh everything in the balance, it appears to be at the end of the Tribulation period.
No, actually Revelation 20 is a summary of the entire vision. Notice that both Revelation 19 and 20 describe the battle of Armageddon. Also the battle is described in Revelation 16. Three references to the same battle, which is further proof that John is repeating himself.Chapter 19 does happen before chapter 20, as they are the
same vision unfolding to John. Rev. 20 is not the start of a new
vision.
That's what you think. You might want to look into "Progressive parallelism in Revelation" before you dismiss what I'm saying.Chapter 20 begins with And. It is not a new vision point...
but the next step after the end of chapter 19.
Rev. 16 is not the same vision.
Well as I see it, the Seventh Trumpet blows, and the Seven Vials then come to pass in quick, staccato type fashion, boom, boom, boom, in real quick succession. I think chapter 10 bears this out....Rev. 10:5 Then the angel that I had seen standing on the sea and on the land raised his right hand to heaven. 6 He swore an oath by the One who lives forever and ever, who created heaven and what is in it, the earth and what is in it, and the sea and what is in it: “There will no longer be an interval of time,[c] 7 but in the days of the sound of the seventh angel, when he will blow his trumpet, then God’s hidden plan will be completed, as He announced to His servants[d] the prophets.” {{What this seems to mean to me is that the Seals and Trumpets took quite a bit of time, the fifth Trumpet of the Locust Demons was a 5 Month period in and of itself. But once the Seventh Trumpet sounds, the Seven Vials of Gods wrath will come Bang, bang, bang, bang.....There will be no more intervals of time. In other words all of the bowls, including Armageddon will come to pass within a month or two. Once one vial has been poured out, another is poured out, it might just be a matter of weeks.So you're saying the seventh trumpet blows at the beginning of the thousand years, because you think it coincides with the end of the tribulation period? Well then maybe you should place the end of the tribulation period in the timeline according to the description of the seventh trumpet, rather than the other way around, as the trumpet description is clear. The judging coincides with it, and that can't be ignored.
The way I see your position is that you have exactly one reason to think that there are two separate judgments, and only one reason. It all boils down to this: You think that the book of Revelation is written chronologically. Are you open to considering that it might not be?{ The Beheaded are Judged NOW, but the Rest of the Dead are judged in a 1000 years. I think the Dead spoken of in Rev. 11, is these beheaded Saints, brother. }
5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
The Dead being judged are beheaded Saints here, not the Wicked who will be judged in 1000 years. Judgment starts at the house of the Lord.
This is one of my threads or blogs on my Channel. I thought I had already posted it here, maybe not....But no, I do not think in anywise it is in Chronological order.The way I see your position is that you have exactly one reason to think that there are two separate judgments, and only one reason. It all boils down to this: You think that the book of Revelation is written chronologically. Are you open to considering that it might not be?
9 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.o.k. then why do you believe the seventh trumpet blows prior to the thousand years beginning?
