The book of Revelation is in fact, the Revelation of Jesus Christ. It is as textually documented, a book of prophecy, which is not all apocalyptic by any means. In which the words of Jesus were: "Write, therefore what you have seen, what is now and what will take place later," according to Rev.1:19.

Following the introductory preface for the book in Rev.1, the first part pertains to the one body of Christ, divided into seven church characteristics over the entire church age, as documented in Rev.2 and 3.

The second part consists of personages and conditions in heaven and the exclusive all time personage worthy and capable of opening the seven seal prolog of the wrath of God, in the Lamb, Jesus Christ, recorded in Rev.4 through 6.

The third part begins with the seventh seal which contains the seven trumpet judgements, that come from the seventh seal, followed closely by the seven bowl/vial judgments of God. His wrath upon mankind as well as the earth itself, in fulfilling the prophecies in Dan.9:27; Mt.24; Mk. 13 and Lk.21. Together with His means of saving many people during the tribulation, through the 144,000 converted Israelite evangelists, and the two witnesses He will place on the earth to preach the Gospel in place of the departed Church, Recorded in Rev.7 through 11.

Within the above events, many personages are introduced, including the two beasts, one from the sea, the antichrist and the other from the earth, the false prophet and the ten horns/nations allied with them to fight against Christ and His armies from heaven at His second coming. The dragon, Satan, will give his throne, power and great authority to the beast out of the sea, the antichrist, in Rev.13.

The fourth part consists of the "mother of all prostitutes," the false religion that permeates the entire world, which the antichrist, false prophet and ten nation confederation completely destroy and set up a one world religion oriented to the worship of the antichrist himself who will claim to be God, according to 2 Thes.2:4. The final world power as well as its ruler is identified as a restored Roman empire, such as found in the European Union of today, and the antichrist, a person who was already dead and in the Abyss at the time Jesus gave the vision to John, in Rev.17:8 and 11.

The above is quickly followed with the destruction of the adulterous economic relationship of Babylon the Great, Jerusalem and Judea, has with all the nations of the earth, that will be destroyed in "one hour." Recorded in Rev.17 and 18.

The fifth part is the marriage of the Lamb [Jesus] to His Bride [The Church], and His second coming to the earth, with all His saints and angels from heaven, according to Rev.19:11-20 and Mt.24:30-31. The battle of Armageddon takes place, with Christ and His armies from heaven defeating the antichrist, and the false prophet. Who are then thrown into the lake of fire with the armies of the ten horns/nations destroyed.

Satan is caught and thrown into the Abyss for 1,000 years and the first resurrection takes place of all the martyrs who will be saved during the tribulation, who will be blessed and made priests of God and of Christ and rule with Him during His 1,000 year reign, of world peace, here on the earth.

When Jesus 1,000 year reign on earth is over, Satan will be released from the Abyss, build another huge army by a renewal of his deceit and lies. He will bring them all up against God's people around Jerusalem, where God will throw Satan into the lake of fire forever, and destroy his army with fire and sulfur from heaven, as recorded in Rev.20:1-3.

The sixth part is the end of the age, beginning with the great white thrown judgement, when the thrones are set for the judges and the books will be opened of evidence pertaining to all those who will participate in the second resurrection of all those who will be saved during the 1,000 year reign of Christ, and the Godless and the wicked, as found in Dan.12:2 and Jn.5:28-29. The seas will give up all their dead - death and Hades will be thrown into the lake of fire. Meaning from that point on, there will be no more death after this juncture in history. All those whose names are not found in the book of life, will be thrown into the lake of fire, as recorded in Rev.20.

The present heaven and earth will be destroyed by fire, according to 2 Pet.3:7 and Rev.21:1.

The seventh part consists of God creating a new heaven and earth, and the description of the eternal kingdom of God and some of the conditions that will take place when that time comes, in the next age. Where all of us who belong to Christ will live with Almighty God and our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ throughout all eternity, in love, peace and happiness, as found in Rev.21 and 22.

The book of Revelation is in fact, the Revelation of Jesus Christ.
the purpose of the apocalypse was to prepare the way for the first coming and it was first written by john the baptist - hence the reference to the Lamb - it was later updated with the churches by the apostle

you can find it in my blog -
I am not the first to conclude this but right now I may be the only one -
the key is the Lamb, it was used by the baptist -
he was preparing the way
