  Selection of Kings & Priest - Second Coming - John's Vision   Imminent Apostasy, War in Heaven, Satan Cast Out, War Continues on Earth
  Overcome, gain eternal life, second death, Celestial Kingdom   Beasts (degenerate earthly kingdoms of Satan) - Devil deceives men
  He that overcomes retains name in book of life, godhood, & be with God.   Lamb on Mount Zion - Gospel Restored - Son of Man harvests the earth
  John sees celestial earth, throne of God, & all created things worshipping the Creator   Exalted saints praise God in celestial glory forever
  Book sealed with seven seals - redeems out of every nation   Plagues upon wicked - nations assemble for Armageddon - Christ comes
  Christ opens six seals - fifth seal Christian martyrs & sixth is sign of the times   Mother of harlots established throughout the earth (apostate churches)
  Sixth seal restoration of gospel and sealing of 144,000 & exalted from all nations   Saints called out of Babylon whose great fall is lamented by wicked
  7th seal sees fire & desolation & thence the Second Coming so trumpeted   Marriage supper of Lamb ready - testimony of Jesus - Christ is King & Lord
  Wars & plagues, Christ has key to spirit prison and a great war ensues   Satan bound for Millennium - saints live with Christ - great judgment per books
  John seals rest of story - John commissioned to take part in the restoration   Those worthy are sons of God - New heave & earth in celestial glory earth
  Two prophets slain in Jerusalem, Resurrection & Christ shall reign over earth   Saints reign with Christ - all men judged - blessed are commandment keepers
