There is a sequential order to the book of Revelation but it is also parenthetical, and this is seen throughout Revelation and is a common design to all the books of the Bible in regards to prophecy.do you think the book of revelation is written in order?

Try dividing the book into two halves with the break at Ch 12. I used to have problems with Rev until I started reading it without referring to other prophetic passages esp in the OT. That way I did not let other material dictate my reading of Rev. It became so much easier to understand then. And it is about the future; I doubt John would have written 22 chapters worth of moral teachings that can be found in the rest of scripture.do you think the book of revelation is written in order?

After having read the the comments and suggestions. I would like to offer something here for you and all that do not understand the Book of Revelation. First, I would recommend downloading The Holy Bible from www.e-Sword.net ... the basic download is perfect! In addition, I would recommend also downloading the KJB 1611. The King James Bible that comes with the basic download is great. 2. I recommend only using the King James Bible, and what I am sharing here are pearls. I encourage patience, fervent prayer over every word of the Lord, asking Him to give you the understanding of what is written, along with knowledge, wisdom, and discernment. 3. I recommend reading through the New Testament first, all the way through Revelation. This will prove to be a solid foundation, learning from Jesus and His chosen Apostles. Then after reading through the New Testament, I recommend going back to Genesis, and read straight through the Old Testament. Proverbs is key to learning the Holy language of The KING of Kings and LORD of Lords, by which you can, by the blessing and gifts of the LORD, to understand ALL Books of The Holy Bible. There are no shortcuts. In writing this, I recommend the basic commentary that comes with the basic download which is simply scripture interpreting scripture. No other "Commentary", or "books about" Revelation or The Holy Bible are necessary. Trust The True and Living God alone for His blessing to teach, guide, and lead you into ALL TRUTH. I am speaking from experience here. End Times Prophecy begins at Genesis 1:1 as the LORD has told us the End from the Beginning. Trust the LORD, praying without ceasing, patiently reading (listening), believing, never doubting, and He will bless you! Obviously, and I'm speaking generally, if you have never read through The Holy Bible before, it can "seem" like a great task, and it is a great task, but look at all of the people in the world that have read book after book after book, about this and that, but don't have the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. There are numbers of cults of the Occult, from the Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormons, and Seventh Day Adventists, not excluding others, that keep their deceived adherants busy ever learning but never able to come to a full knowledge of the truth, by reading their "books" by which they claim to "teach the Bible", but do the opposite. By reading only The Holy Bible and trusting only God to teach you, He will indeed teach you, leading you into all truth, to the point that you can understand His words, including Revelation, and not be confused at all! I love reading The Holy Bible, and I testify that His words are true, and there are no errors in The Holy Bible! I have been blessed to understand the Proverbs/Parables, and that is only because of the Lord blessing me. To help alleviate any doubt ... think about it this way ... We call on the Lord in faith for salvation by and because of what only He did for us on the cross at Calvary ... that is, if a person has been blessed to have the true Gospel of Salvation preached to them, and they responded to the Lord's call and have been born again ... then why not trust the Lord to do what He said that He would do, by His gift of The Holy Spirit to lead us into all truth? All we need is faith the size of a mustard seed, as the Lord said, and mountains can be moved! I pray that He will bless you with this effort! And don't be surprised when you find yourself placing question marks next to many verses or passages, but continue ever patiently, confessing to the Lord that you don't understand, asking Him for understanding, again, believing and never doubting, and He will bless you just as He has blessed me!do you think the book of revelation is written in order?

Even the books of the New Testament is not arranged chronologically.
In fact, the Epistles of Paul are one of the first ones written while the Synoptic Gospels and John + Epistles of John among the last.

No, that is a terrible approach. Reading the whole bible is too much. Start with a few prime chapters. Daniel 9:26-27 and Matthew 24:14-31, first. Then Ezekiel 38-39.After having read the the comments and suggestions. I would like to offer something here for you and all that do not understand the Book of Revelation.

Then Daniel 7. Then Daniel 2. Then Revelation 13. Those are foundational and are plenty to get a person started. And can expand from there.
Matthew 24:14-31 is in the gospel of Matthew.I'm amazed. Those are not foundational at all. The gospels and Pauline epistles are foundational.
It is an end times issue.
Matthew 24:14-31 is in the gospel of Matthew.
The original post was about how to understand Revelation. In particular, the mark of the beast. It is an end times issue. Therefore, the person should read and focus on the passages that focus on the end times.
But that is not the subject of this thread.End times are far from being the most important part of the Christian faith.
do you think the book of revelation is written in order?
The book of revelation is confusing to me.
Yes, but revelation is just one book. Revelation is written in chronological order, linear chronological order. Just like the Gospel of Luke is written in linear chronological order.Even the books of the New Testament is not arranged chronologically.
In fact, the Epistles of Paul are one of the first ones written while the Synoptic Gospels and John + Epistles of John among the last.
Should it we be taking the context of New Testament teachings according to the teachings of John + epistles instead of the teachings of Paul, since the teachings of John came last. Since it is obvious, the Christian religion took the context strongly with Paul's teachings intead.
The BoR is not written in Chronological Order sir. I will get back later on with the exact order it is written in, but I just don't get people who can't see the order is linear at times, then parenthetical at times.Yes, but revelation is just one book. Revelation is written in chronological order, linear chronological order. Just like the Gospel of Luke is written in linear chronological order.
Each of Paul's letters individually unfolds in chronological order also. Paul makes one case builds on it to make another closes up with an exhortation. To prayer and Christian Piety say
each individual book of the Bible taken on its individual own unfolds chronologically
