The traditional way to understand the book of Revelation has been around for a few centuries at least. Today, this soul wants to give you another angle to understanding this mystery. The same book. The same words. Just a new and interesting angle to seeing how it could play out. If anyone has ever put it together like this before I have never seen it. You are invited to inform us of any like minded souls. References are from the Scofield Commentary and References along with some added ones that effect how this soul views these verses. I intend to offer this idea of putting Chapters together as scenes occurring simultaneously and back to back. The churches, seals, the trumpets, 3 woes, 7 bowls of wrath. Look for the seals and trumpets happening at the same time. Look for the 6th church, 6th seal, 6th trumpet, 2 woes and the 6th bowl of wrath, and then the 7th church, 7th seal, 7th trumpet, the 3rd woe, the 7th bowl of wrath each occurring at the same time. Begin:
I INTRO
1Th 5:4, 8-11; 4 But you, brethren, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief. … 8 But let us who are of the day be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and [as] a helmet the hope of salvation. 9 For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, 10 who died for us, that whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with Him. 11 Therefore comfort each other and edify one another, just as you also are doing.
Matt 24:24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if [it were] possible, they shall deceive the very elect. (Rev. 6:12; 8:5; 11:13,19;) Matthew 24:7; Luke 21:11, warns all these catastrophes will occur, maybe together. Maybe reoccurring repeatedly.

Luke 23:28-30; Jesus turning unto them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children. For, behold, the days are coming, in the which they shall say, Blessed [are] the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the paps which never gave suck. Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us; and to the hills, Cover us.
