What are the series of seven that make up the book of Revelation?
The book of Revelation is structured by a series of sevens: seven letters to seven churches, seven seal judgments, seven trumpet judgments, seven bowl judgments, seven distinct persons, and seven woes. Seven is God's number, and the whole book is a breakdown of sevens.
Les explains that the part skipped were the seven letters to the seven churches. Then come the seven seals, the seven seal judgments, which introduce the seven trumpet judgments. The seventh trumpet judgment introduces the final seven bowl judgments. Interspersed between are seven distinct persons and seven woes, so the whole book is a breakdown of sevens, and seven is God's number. He notes this perfectly tuned book is part of the Word of God, not myths or gobbledygook. This structure unfolds in the final seven years, Daniel's 70th week, beginning when the Antichrist signs a seven-year treaty with Israel. The seven years are divided into two 3.5-year periods, 42 months each.
