3. Revelation Perspectives • Summary • Chapters 1 - 10 relate to events up to the midpoint of the Tribulation • Chapters 11 - 14 events are best understood when viewed in their relativity to the midpoint of the 7 year tribulation, spanning in time from creation to eternity. • Chapters 15 - 22 relate to events beyond the midpoint of the 7 year tribulation.

4. Revelation Perspectives • Key verse is Revelation 1:19 • “...things that were…” • “...things that are…” • “...things that shall be hereafter…” • Revelation can further be understood by recognizing the relationship of events occurring in heaven with those occurring on earth.
