THE
BOOK OF REVELATION

A Study of
The Last Prophetic Book
of Holy Scripture
by Clarence Larkin
1919


The "Key" to the Book.

The "Key" to the Book is its

"THREE-FOLD DIVISION."
Revelation 1:19

1. The Things Which Thou Hast "SEEN."
2. The Things Which "ARE."
3. The Things Which "SHALL BE HEREAFTER."

This is the only book in the Bible where the Divisions are given, and they are here given by Christ Himself.

1. The Things Which Thou Hast "SEEN."

The Vision of the Son of Man in the midst of the "Seven Lamp-stands." Rev. 1:10-20.

2. The Things Which "ARE."

The Messages to the Seven Churches, Rev. 2:1-3; 22. As these Messages were to seven churches that were in existence in John's day, and to whom he personally wrote, the advocates of the theory that John was in the Spirit on a certain Sabbath or "Lord's Day," naturally claim that John at that time could not have been trans-ported into the "Day of the Lord." But that does not necessarily follow. As we now know (see exposition of chapters 2 and 3) those Churches were REPRESENTATIVE CHURCHES, and were typical of seven well defined periods in Church History, that could not be so understood until the history of the Christian Church would be complete, and that will not be until the "Day of the Lord," so John could have been projected in vision by the Spirit into the "Day of the Lord," and after his Vision of the Glorified Son of Man, the "Messages to the Seven Churches" were dictated to him by they Son of Man Himself, that John when he recovered from his vision and found himself back on the Isle of Patmos could send them to the churches.

3. The Things Which "SHALL BE HEREAFTER."

Literally--"after these." In other words the "Things" which shall come to pass after the "Church Period" ends. The Book naturally divides into

Seven Sevens.

I. THE SEVEN CHURCHES. Rev. 2:14:22.

II. THE SEVEN SEALS. Rev. 6:1-8:5.

III. THE SEVEN TRUMPETS. Rev. 8:7-11:19.

VI. THE SEVEN DOOMS. Rev. 17:1-20:15.

VII. THE SEVEN NEW THINGS. Rev. 21:1-22:5.
