Revelation Chapters 11 and 15 are summary chapters, 11 ending the First Half and 15 opening the Last Half of The Book of Revelation. These two chapters have several similarities listed below:

               Rev 11                                                                                                 Rev 15

Measure The Temple and Worship                                       The Tabernacle of Testimony is opened

The 2 Witnesses Prophesy                                                      Moses and The Lamb Prophesy

Prophesy before all Nations                                                    Sing a Song of Prophecy

Gentiles involved outside The Temple                                  All Nations are involved in Worship

Brings First Half to a Conclusion                                            Introduces Conclusions of the Last Half

Judgments of fire and no rain                                                  All His Judgments, righteous and true

Kingdoms become The Lord’s                                                All nations come and worship The Lord

1260 Days or 42 Months                                                            The Fall Festivals continue for 22 days

3 ½ Days Dead bodies not buried                                           For 3,500 years Israel is not dead

24 elders worship for His Wrath is                                          One of the 4 Beasts with bowls of wrath

Destroy them that destroy the Earth                                      Wrath of God in the 7 Bowls

Do not measure the Temple                                                    No one could enter The Temple

The Beast makes war against them                                      The Beast and his army is conquered

The Holy city is trodden down                                               Babylon is fallen is fallen

The witnesses rise up into Heaven                                       The Wedding Supper is in Heaven

Revelation 11 includes The Reformation and reveals the final warfare is to involve The City of Jerusalem…. Revelation 12 and 13 introduces the last Half of Revelation which concludes with the New Jerusalem coming to The Earth.

As we look back through History, we see the 7 Churches represent 7 eras from The Old Testament and also 7 eras of Church History. Revelation Chapter 1 reveals Jesus as The Lamb of God in His blood and Power amidst The 7 Churches.  Chapter 4 and 5 reveal The Throne in Heaven is a timeless place. All The Redeemed are present there and Jesus is both The Slain Lamb and The Victorious Lion. From Heaven, God shows all Earth’s History taking place on Earth before it happens. John writes it down.

The 7 Seals represent the Fall of Rome. The 7 Trumpets represent The Dark Ages and The Reformation.  (For a summary of Revalation as history, please see “Revelation, Seminar” presented by The Seventh Day Adventist Church. They are accurate in their view of history up until about 1850.)

Look at the listing above and you can compare the close of the First Half of Revelation with the introduction of The Last Half…. Remarkable similarities are hidden in plain sight. In the moment of history we are living in, Rev 10 and 11 are key pointers. Rev 10 mentions a “little book” which John is told to eat. This represents The Bible which is translated and printed so lay people can read and understand what God is doing. (see notes from S. Jones, Rev 10)For 500 years, common people have been reading The Bible and praying for understanding.
