Author: The apostle John (1:1; summary of St. John)

The events are consecutive in order with parenthetical passages inserted between the main events, which explain certain things that are to happen along with the main events but are not the same as these events.
The book is in 3 clearly defined divisions, the contents of which renew each other in the order given, as follows:
1 The things which thou hast seen, i. e., the vision of Christ in the midst of the candlesticks (1:12-20). Which , together with the introduction to the whole book forms chapter 1.
2 The things which are, i.e., the 7 letters to the 7 churches in Asia Minor, or present Turkey, to whom the whole book is addressed (1: 19, 2: 1-3:22). These messages to the churches apply to the whole church age and until the rapture of the church just before the future tribulation and coming of the Antichrist who win be here for the last 7 years of this age (Dan. 9:.2'/; 2 Th. 2: ~-12; Roy. 6: 1-19:, 21)
3 The things which must be hereafter, L e., events after the rapture of the church (1:19; 4:1-22:5). These include the scenes in heaven (Rev. 4-5), the seals and their parenthetical statements (Rev. 6: 1-8: 1), the trumpets and their parenthetical statements (Rev. 8:2-13:18), the vials and their parenthetical statements (Rev. 14:1-19:21), the Millennium (Rev. 20), and the new heaven and new earth (Rev. 21:1-22:5), and events of the conclusion (Rev. 22:6-21)
