In chapter 9, the apostle John introduces us to the dreadful realm of the fallen spirits and their abode: the abyss.
At this point, the fifth angel sounds the fifth trumpet, a preview of hell—endless darkness.
This bottomless pit is the holding tank of punishment for the fallen angels, demons, the beast, the false prophet, and Satan (Revelation 9:1-2, 11; 11:7; 20:1-3). These spirit beings of the highest magnitude of evil are left over from Satan’s rebellion.
Jude tells us that some of these evil spirit beings tried to corrupt the human race so that the promised Seed of the woman, Jesus Christ, could never come. Others seem to be key leaders of Satan’s forces, while still others have been so vile that they have been held back until Revelation 9.
Like Satan, these demonic spirit beings are filled with a hatred for God and mankind.
Lost humanity believes in evolution and denies Biblical creationism, so the Creator shows them His power. Earth-dwellers worship Mother Earth, so God first allows natural disasters to amplify (6-8).
Lost humanity is fascinated with demons, so God opens the pit and lets humanity taste the searing torments of Satan’s demons (9).
Lost humanity seeks to rule themselves and reject God’s Messiah, so God sends the Fake Jesus, the Beast, as the worst human who ever lives to lead humanity to destruction by becoming their god (10-13).
Jesus Gives the Specific Trends of the End of the World in Matthew 24:8, 33-34, expanded into Revelation 6-19.
If you sift through the Bible’s 31,000+ verses, you find that there are just about 2,040 verses with 215 specific predictions from God about the end of the world that are in the process of being fulfilled.
So, the Bible contains many specific events that would signal the end of days for life on planet Earth as it has been for the past several thousand years.
Each prophetic sign Christ and His apostles gave is specific and not vague.
Jesus explained to us in Matthew 24, verses 8 and 33-34, that these events would begin at the same time, run concurrently, and crescendo like the pains of a woman giving birth the closer we get to His Second Coming.
This is a 20-lesson course on the final book of the Bible.
Revelation’s 404 verses contain over 800 quotations, allusions, and connections to the rest of the Bible.
These 22 chapters do not contain new doctrines, only clarification on how they will happen.
This is the ONLY book of the Bible Jesus came down to supervise as the conclusion of God’s Revelation. Moses went to God to get the Pentateuch; Jesus came to Earth on Patmos to show John what to write.
