Patterns of Revelation
14 lessons through the book of Revelation — the patterns, the sanctuary, the three angels, and the city that comes down.
Purpose
To equip you to teach.
The method: Teaching you to teach others: simplify, big picture, juice. Every week you find one student of your own and teach them what you have just learned. You keep a short log of it.
To graduate: Teach a small-group class on all or part of Revelation. Every weekly assignment builds toward it: each week you find a student of your own and teach them what you have just learned.

Revelation's Stunning Revelation
Revelation divides into six parts, and each part re-tells the war in heaven.
Enrol to openThe Sanctuary Structure of Revelation
Revelation walks the sanctuary from the candlesticks to the opened ark — and keeps the Jewish year.
Enrol to openThe Seven Churches
Seven letters, seven eras, and one word repeated to every messenger: repent.
Enrol to openThe Seven Seals
Four horses build a counter-gospel; the fifth cries; the sixth shakes the world.
Enrol to openThe Seven Trumpets I
The prayers of the saints go up at the incense altar; fire comes back down on the empire.
Enrol to openThe Seven Trumpets II
Two woes on the east, then a book opened and two witnesses slain and raised.
Enrol to openThe Seven Parallels
The churches, seals and trumpets are three tellings of one history — read them across, not down.
Enrol to openRevelation 12
The war in heaven becomes the war on the woman, and the dragon's last wrath falls on a remnant.
Enrol to openRevelation 13
The sea beast, the wound, the lamb-like beast that speaks as a dragon, and the union at the end.
Enrol to openRevelation 14
God's answer to the union of chapter 13 is a message, a people, and a harvest.
Enrol to openThe Seven Plagues
The plagues fall under the seventh trumpet, after mediation ends — and the last two sandwich the millennium.
Enrol to openThe Seven Heads
Revelation 17's seven kings — the powers that bear the woman — and the ruling that settles the sixth as a contested throne.
Enrol to openBabylon
Revelation 17–18: a system named from the Old Testament, its fall announced, and a call to come out.
Enrol to openThe Millennium and the New Jerusalem
Two suppers, a scapegoat in the wilderness, and a wedding the whole Bible has been preparing.
