Revelation 1:17-20
July 17, 2011
Keys are big things in our culture. With keys we open doors, start cars, open pad locks, drop boxes, control security and more. Most of us have email for which we have to have a 'key' called an ID and password. Candidly, you cannot check your mail without your password or 'key.'
Revelation is a book, for which, a key seems to be needed. In years past, some have suggested that there USED to be a key and that this key has now been lost.

Chapters 1-3 would be the "Seer in Patmos", 4-16 -the seer in heaven, 17-20-the seer in the wilderness, and 21-22 - the seer on a Great and High Mountain). Another outline suggests only 2 divisions in this book consisting of the first 11 and the second 11 chapters. In this case, Chapters 1-11 shows the Kingdom of this world which becomes the Kingdome of our Lord. Each of these is true and can be traced. But each of these have one thing in common, ...
