Revelation - We see the throne of God and the Lamb with water flowing from it - watering the tree(s) of life and possibly the whole earth. We see God's light and no darkness. We hear the final encouragement to be of those who wash their robes (obedience, righteousness).

Revelation - We see the Dragon thrown into the Lake of Fire, the final judgment and the unfaithful also in the Lake of Fire, the new heavens, the new earth, and the New Jerusalem. Most importantly, the goal of the whole story - God dwells with man in creation.

Revelation - We look at Messiah's actual second coming with the armies of heaven. They destroy all those who are coming against Him and His city (the great judgment supper) and bind the dragon in chains. The first resurrection and judgment happens to begin the millennial Kingdom. Finally, Satan is released at the end of the Kingdom for one final deception and battle.

Revelation - We looked at the more detailed description of the fall of 'Babylon' and the nations lament (chapter 18) and heavens joyous response followed by the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.

Revelation - We looked at the seventh bowl, assembling at Armageddon, and the war of Gog and Magog (metaphorically, all nations join with Rome to defeat God/Israel).

Revelation - We are introduced to the seven angels with the seven plagues (i.e. bowls of wrath) - the end of God's wrath. We saw six of the bowls poured out and, though those with the mark of the beast were willing to worship someone or something, they refused to worship God.

Revelation - We see the return of the 144,000 and the final call of the eternal gospel, followed by the harvest of those faithful to the beast instead of God. Genesis -
