  • These chapters are so dramatic, filled with notable contrasts. If you do not remember Revelation 13, take a few minutes to read it. Verse 16 tells us unless we have a mark on our right hand or forehead (aka, the mark of the beast) we won’t be able to buy or sell.


  • I’ll be honest: Revelation is the book I’ve read the least in the Bible. Part of this is simply because I don’t understand it. However, Revelation 1 tells us “blessed is the one who reads this aloud…” and I am always ready for a blessing!  So, I have been reading these passages aloud, which also helps me to concentrate (This is an effective strategy for people who struggle with concentration.).


  • Chapter 6 begins John’s master plan; John lays out three distinct cycles -- concepts that all add up to the number 7. John will go through a series of 7 seals, 7 trumpets, and 7 bowls. Each cycle is a part of the overall picture of how God’s justice and kingdom will ultimately be established on the earth.
